Toni Storm on AEW president Tony Khan: ‘He’s obsessed with this’
Toni Storm praised Tony Khan during her recent appearance on The Sandman’s podcast.
Storm, who earlier in the interview referred to herself as being an “AEW lifer,” was asked on the show what she feels is the biggest misconception about the AEW president.
Storm responded:
“Well, I’m not really sure on how he’s actually perceived. I assume everyone adores him. He’s like the nicest f—king guy ever, with the best of intentions, and he just loves wrestling so much.”
“I just love the guy. I f—king love the guy. He’s the best and he works so hard. He’s obsessed with this s–t. He’s so into it.”
Later in the discussion, Storm spoke about playing the role of Clara Mortensen in the Mildred Burke biopic Queen of the Ring. She mentioned that it was Khan who first approached her about being in the film.
“It was very fun to do. President Anthony Khan called me up and was like, ‘Do you want to be in a movie?'”
She continued:
“I didn’t know we would film until 7 AM. I started hearing birds going. I was like, ‘Holy s–t, I’ve been doing seven hours of the same match sequence. Wow. Physically demanding but good.”
“Honestly, I had no idea what the f–k was going on the entire time. I was one of the only wrestlers there and it was all just people losing their s–t in these bloody 1940s costumes.”
Storm, Sandman and the co-hosts also spoke about her Philly Street Fight with Skye Blue at the 2300 Arena, Storm almost wrestling in Madison Square Garden once, and more.
Storm’s comments about Tony Khan begin around the 41-minute mark of the video below:
