Vince Russo said that he enjoyed Tony Khan's recent antics. He also addressed the latter talking shots at WWE.

On this week's edition of AEW Dynamite, The Young Bucks and Jack Perry attacked the company's president. Khan even sold the after-effects of the ambush during the NFL Draft.

After seeing such a brilliant performance from Tony Khan, Vince Russo took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise TK for his incredible acting.

"Man, I am thoroughly entertained by @TonyKhan, I really am. Fact is the Wrestling Industry wouldn't be the same for me today---if Tony weren't a part of it. That is the truth."

But he also pointed out that Khan still needs to figure out how to improve his product to appeal to more audiences.

"However---there comes a time when you have to STOP talking and START doing. TK can take whatever shots he wants at @WWE, but until he improves his product, attempting to generate MASS APPEAL (and, I'm not sure he knows how to do that)---nothing is going to change. And THAT is the God's Honest Truth."

Tony Khan calls WWE an "evil juggernaut"

During his virtual appearance on the NFL Draft Kickoff stream, Tony Khan took a few shots at his rival company. He boasted about his own company while insulting WWE.

"We are the most successful sports startup since the AFL, pre-merger," said Khan. "There has not been a challenger brand that has gained as much market share as AEW in many, many, many years. We are like the Pepsi of pro wrestling, and we're up against a really evil juggernaut. WWE is our competitor, that's who we're facing. AEW is like the Pepsi of pro wrestling; WWE is like the Harvey Weinstein of pro wrestling," he said

Khan also addressed Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, and Jack Perry attacking him this week. TK said it scared him and his family.
