Vince Russo just flipped the script on a narrative thats followed him for years. The former WCW and WWE head writer has long been accused by fans of hating AEW and constantly taking shots at its president, Tony Khan. But during a recent discussion on the Two Man Power Trip podcast, Russo made it crystal clear not only does he not hate Tony Khan, he actually considers himself a fan. The conversation started with Russo addressing the perception that he buries AEW regularly. He first clarified that he doesnt even watch the product anymore, which means he doesnt critique it. But what came next is what really turned heads. Russo explained that when Tony Khan comes up on his platform, its because of Khans public persona not because of personal animosity. He described Khan as entertaining and unique, especially during media appearances. Then Russo made his stance unmistakable. Thats not sarcasm. Thats not backhanded praise. Thats Russo openly saying he supports the AEW President. For someone whos been labeled an AEW critic for years, the admission is significant. Russo doesnt frame Tony Khan as a rival promoter or a target he frames him as passionate, well-meaning, and sincere in his love for the wrestling business. Whether you agree with Russo or not, one thing is now clear: he doesnt see Tony Khan as the villain many assume he does. Does Russo calling himself a fan of Tony Khan surprise you?
