AEW President Tony Khan once called pro wrestling veteran Disco Inferno an "irrelevant parasite." The latter recently brought up the incident during Khan's online spat with a fan.
On X/Twitter, Khan called out a critic for slamming a fan who expressed their opinion on AEW's product. The 42-year-old wrote that everyone had the right to express their beliefs and should not be targeted for being vocal.
"Why would you tell a fan that they’re stupid for just expressing their opinion. Everyone is allowed to have beliefs and opinions, it doesn’t make them stupid. #AEWCollision," Khan wrote.
Reacting to the tweet, Disco Inferno took a massive shot at the AEW President. He recalled the time when Khan called him an "irrelevant parasite" for expressing his opinion.

Disco Inferno believes that Kevin Owens leaving WWE for AEW will not change anything
Kevin Owens' WWE contract is reportedly set to expire soon. Meanwhile, many are wondering whether he would leave the company and join All Elite Wrestling.
On Keepin' It 100 last month, Disco Inferno commented on KO's pro wrestling future. He said WWE would be fine if Owens chose to jump ship to All Elite Wrestling.
"I don't know. I mean, Tony [Khan] obviously is just overpaying everybody (...) You never know, we'll see. I mean the WWE will be just fine without him [Owens]," Inferno said.
Earlier this month, Kevin Owens turned heel and attacked Cody Rhodes at Bad Blood, leading to his suspension. He later had a brawl with Randy Orton after the latter sided with The American Nightmare.
On the latest episode of SmackDown, Owens expressed his dissatisfaction with the company and how he was being treated. There's a fair chance that all this is just a part of a storyline. Fans must stay tuned to find out whether KO chooses to re-sign with the global juggernaut.
