Eric Bischoff isnt holding back on why he soured on AEW President Tony Khanand it all comes down to one moment that, in his eyes, showed Khan doesnt understand the wrestling business.
Speaking to ActionNetwork.com, the former WCW President explained that his issues with Khan stem from a deeply disrespectful comment Khan made about Ted Turner on national TV. Bischoff recalled how Khan tried comparing himself to the legacy of WCW and even Bischoff himself, but one remark changed everything for him.
That, Bischoff said, was the moment he stopped respecting Khan.
Bischoff also criticized AEWs creative direction, saying Khan treats the promotion like a personal hobby rather than a professional company.
From a storytelling and character perspective, Bischoff believes AEW continues to miss the mark.
Bischoff concluded by reminding everyone that his long-standing predictions about AEWs ratings have come true.
Bischoff may have wanted AEW to thrive, but after that one Ted Turner comment, its clear Tony Khan lost a powerful allyand gained one of his most outspoken critics.
