Tony Khan has "zero credibility" after repeating a mistake in various interviews, says Vince Russo (Exclusive)

Tony Khan was recently called out by Vince Russo. The former WWE writer said the AEW boss has "zero credibility" due to his constant actions during interviews.

Since AEW's launch in 2019, the company has come a long way in terms of its production value and profitability. The promotion has expanded its roster by adding a diverse range of talent and has even started hosting shows outside of the US.

Despite this fast growth, the company has often come under harsh criticism for mismanagement of talent, poor booking, and lack of storytelling. This has resulted in a massive drop in viewership and ratings compared to its initial days. However, Tony has always maintained that his company is doing great despite putting up poor numbers each week and his seemingly ignorant outlook hasn't done him any good. The AEW boss has always failed to acknowledge any negative feedback and has always maintained that his company is doing great.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Outlaws podcast, Vince Russo claimed that Tony Khan has lost all his credibility after he constantly praised his promotion despite the poor numbers. He said that fans can see the numbers online and are aware that the promotion is not doing great despite TK claiming otherwise.

"There was a Tony Khan interview from last week and Chris, he must've said the word great a hundred times. You would've thought that he was talking about the WWE and I don't think what he understands is bro, we're all seeing the numbers, we're all seeing the attendance. You keep talking like this all you're doing is losing credibility. I mean by him saying, 'We're great! We're great! We're great!' Does he think he's going to convince people that they're great? You're just losing credibility. I mean it's like EC3, 'Hey, this is my first five years in this game. I've made some mistakes. I'm learning. We're making the changes.' But bro he sits [and says], 'This is great! That was great! This is great! That was great!' I'm like, 'Bro, you have zero credibility at this point man.'" [13:46 - 14:55]

"No one stays in a place where they received inhumane treatment," he wrote.
