Bully Ray on potentially working with AEW CEO Tony Khan
Tony Khan is often criticized for his creative decisions in the Jacksonville-based promotion. WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray has an interesting take on the matter.
On a recent edition of the Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray said he wanted to work with Tony Khan on All Elite Wrestling's creative team. The veteran suggested that he could offer to build up stories around Khan's fantasy matchups in All Elite Wrestling.
"I would never want Tony Khan to relinquish his part in creative. I would want to work with Tony Khan on creative. Tony Khan is a matchmaker. What I would do with Tony is sit down at a table with Tony, and I would go, 'Tony, give me your top three fantasy matches that you want to do in three months, six months, a year.' And when he hands me those fantasy matches, I'll build stories around them."
Fans will have to wait and see what surprises Khan has in store for the upcoming AEW Revolution pay-per-view.
