Recently, AEW’s Tony Khan did an interview with ex-WWE talent Jonathan Coachman and Vince Russo. This was surprising as it came after Russo’s post regarding them possibly working together. After the interview, Russo took to Twitter and said,
“Man, bro, I knew it going in and now I definitely know it going out. One of @TonyKhan‘s biggest assets could very well also be his biggest detriment. The dude doesn’t have an unkind bone in his body. He is throughly and genuinely a good-hearted man that can be no other way—it’s just his nature and make-up. The guy is just a kind soul—giving him all the credit in the world—based on the culture of selfishness in today’s world. And, if you’ve actually been listening to for the last six years—I have been assessing that since DAY 1.”
“It’s unfortunate—but—in the wrestling world—that works against you. Look who’s at the top of the food chain in the WWE. Look who has all the power. Look at who’s been there forever—I promise you—they didn’t get there by being “nice guys”. But—my advice to TK would be—don’t ever change. Don’t ever change one iota. The most important thing to any of us should be WHO we see when we look in that mirror every morning, because that’s the real, honest to goodness TRUTH and measure of who we really are.”
“Man, I really enjoyed that interview yesterday, and I really do hope there are more to come. And, it’s not because I’m “looking for a job”, it’s because I need more of the positiveness in my life that people like Tony Khan exude. Anybody who thinks that there was ANYTHING negative that came out of that interview yesterday . . . maybe YOU need to look in the mirror this morning.”
