Who is Tony Khan? Meet the Owner of AEW

#2 He is a proud member of the Internet Wrestling Community

So we've looked at all of Khan's accomplishments and roles in non-scripted sports. Why does he want to shift his focus to All Elite Wrestling, when he's obviously got so many things going on right now? The simple answer is that he is a huge professional wrestling fan.

Tony Khan has been a lifelong fan of the art of scripted combat and is also known to be a close personal friend of The Young Bucks. Is it any wonder then that the great minds came together and decided to make a change together? Khan has, according to this report on Reddit, attended many live events in the past and is also a part of many wrestling forums.

It is a good sign indeed that Khan is, all said and done, a fan first. This bodes well for the promotion.
