5 Things we learned from Tony Khan about AEW

#3 Wins and Losses will matter in AEW

Tony Khan also elaborated on AEW's 5-year plan and where he sees the company at that point of time. Like most businessmen, he expects it to be successful and a very different product when compared to WWE. He insists that by that time, the brand will be for people who are looking for fast-paced action. Moreover, he elaborated:-

It's for people who want a product that is...a more of a sporting based product. That talks about a lot about how I want wins and losses to matter because at the end of the day..that's why you're having the match...there's going to be a winner and a loser..and it matters.

It should matter to your standing in the company and it should matter in your chase for the championship ...which, at the end of the day, is what everyone is trying to attain.

Essentially, Tony Khan says that wins and losses are the building blocks for any sporting product. This is an interesting comment to make is because wrestling fans have criticized the WWE for this very thing.

For instance, take Jinder Mahal who was plucked out of jobber status and suddenly made the WWE Champion. While no one was keeping score, it's safe to say that his losses vastly outnumbered his wins until that point.

If AEW goes in a different direction and actually keeps score, it leads to other interesting aspects which could earn additional revenue for the company in the long run such as fantasy leagues and statistics-based booking. Interesting times ahead, indeed!
