Ace Steel isnt staying quiet after hearing Tony Khan compare Jon Moxley to the late wrestling legend Harley Raceand his reaction lit up Instagram in a big way.
The drama started when Ringside News posted a recap of Tony Khans comments about Moxley during WrestleDream weekend. Steel reposted the article on his Instagram Story and didnt hold back, tearing into the AEW President for what he saw as an out-of-touch comparison.
Ace Steels rage didnt come from nowhere. He was personally mentored by Harley Race and has always spoken about Races legacy with deep reverence. To Steel, putting Moxley in the same sentence as Harley Race wasnt just wrongit was insulting.
So what did Tony Khan say to cause all this heat? During a podcast over WrestleDream weekend, Khan was asked who in AEW best reflects Harley Races legacy. He went straight to Moxley without hesitation.
Khan even compared the in-ring style of Moxley to some of Harleys most brutal matches.
And in his final remarks, Khan said that while Moxley is inspired by the past, hes still one-of-a-kind.
This whole situation turned what shouldve been a harmless compliment into a personal war of words. When youre dealing with names like Harley Race, emotions run deepand Ace Steel made it loud and clear that some comparisons just dont sit right.
