Tony Khan Talks Being A Wrestling Advocate, Younger Fans

AEW President and CEO Tony Khan recently took to his Twitter and issued a statement on his love for the pro wrestling industry as well as he being an advocate for wrestling since he was a kid. Tony Khan also said that he is grateful and thankful for all the fan support on the AEW product, especially the younger fans.

This is what Tony Khan said:

“Since I was a kid I’ve tried to spread the love of wrestling. Back then I wanted more people to watch wrestling & talk with. Now I’m blessed to work with great people in #AEW to create fun matches & stories, & I ask the same of you, to please try to spread your love for wrestling”

“Thank you to all of the fans of any age who support #AEW; I’m grateful for every fan we have. This week, we did our biggest 18-34 audience for #AEWDynamite in months. I’m thankful for any fan of any age, but we all know how important it is for wrestling to find new young fans.”

Long before AEW, as a fan many times I went to bat for wrestling & then when I convinced friends to turn it on, it was cringeworthy. I don’t want that for you if you support AEW. If you convince friends or family to watch Dynamite, we want AEW to make you (& wrestling) look good!”
