Tony Khan on his current creative approach to AEW: ‘I will only trust my instincts’
AEW President Tony Khan currently has a new creative approach.
Just days ahead of the upcoming April 15 episode of AEW Dynamite in Everett, Washington, Khan appeared for an interview with KING 5, where he opened up about the episode, his role in developing Dynamite, and his current creative approach.
With three championship matches scheduled for Spring Break Dynamite, Khan claimed AEW’s current creative momentum came from him learning from his mistakes and lessons.
“From now on… I will only trust my instincts. I will only execute the ideas that I believe in.”
Khan also reflected on his history with Dynamite, and the idea had originated several years ago, when he was just 12-years-old.
“I started writing a show called Dynamite in message boards, and on dial-up Internet and sending it to my friends,” he said. “I started doing that in 1995 when I was 12 years old, and it was called Saturday Night Dynamite.”
Over three decades since that, Khan now successfully runs AEW, which is arguably one of the biggest mainstream wrestling promotions in the world, and has successfully climbed the ranks since launching in 2019.
