Eric Bischoff – ‘Tony Khan’s Smart About A Lot Of Things, Not Wrestling’

Eric Bischoff has once again taken aim at Tony Khan, who he believes is smart about several things, but not the world of professional wrestling.

On a recent edition of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Bischoff mocked Khan’s business sense with a backhanded compliment of what the AEW President is smart about. He said,

“I’ve gotten so used to Tony Khan saying stupid sh**, because he’s not the brightest bulb in the Christmas tree. He’s just not. He may be really smart when it comes to data analytics — although, I’m even beginning to question that, because he’s clearly not analyzing his own data. I’m sure there’s many things that Tony Khan is intelligent about, but not when it comes to the wrestling business, and certainly not when it comes to WCW.”

Bischoff also brought up times that Khan has compared AEW to WCW and finds the comparison to the promotion Bischoff was once in charge of laughable. He said,

“When Tony Khan makes comparisons and tries to compare AEW and Tony Khan’s approach to the business to WCW, I just laugh. When we’re talking about … even ’95, ’96, ’97, ’98, and yes, even in 1999, with wheels falling off and flying down the highway and sparks flying and everything else. Tony Khan and AEW aren’t even close to where WCW was when WCW was on its way to the bottom. Don’t legitimately try to compare what you’re doing to even WCW, at one of its lowest points.”

AEW is currently building towards its biggest event of the year – AEW All In 2024. The show will take place this August at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
