Tony Khan and the top AEW star face the heat as fans join the battle of words

Surprisingly, several fans took Bischoff’s side and bashed Khan and Harwood. One user stated, “Tony buries himself, he doesn’t need help from Eric or anyone else.”

Another fan wrote, “Wrestlers are so delusional and pathetic to be insulted by words, Eric is just keeping it 💯 and if I’m not mistaken wasn’t FTR complaining about “their spot” in AEW about a year ago? Funny how they can forget about that.” Accordingly, the fan calls out FTR for their hypocrisy as a year back they were questioning AEW.

Several others claimed, “Tony’s money is worth it for him, I guess,” and that “Dax got bodied here.” 

One user went all in by saying, “If ANYTHING,  Eric and Cornette want AEW to improve their product for longevity. Broaden the audience and focus on advertising and beating the competition. They have both worked in and against WWE and understand the business. Real fans want AEW to succeed. But if the product is nauseating and ONLY pleasing a portion of a once massive audience….it will dwindle.”

This is not the first time that Khan has been bashed by fans. What are your views on the audience taking Bischoff’s side against Tony Khan and Harwood?
