Tony Khan has been a lifelong pro wrestling fan, and he's been open about his participation in the early days of the internet wrestling community. Khan recently announced that AEW would co-produce two tribute shows for Death Valley Driver Video Review founder Dean Rasmussen, who passed away in May 2023. The first, DEAN~! 2, is set for Saturday, May 24, outside of Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, AZ. The plan has been to stream both shows on Ring of Honor's YouTube channel, with AEW and ROH talents in action.
