This. I wonder if Khan had a vivacious EWR discussion group when he was younger.
He's playing to his base and trying to drum up enthusiasm for the "alternative brand". I get it. It's all peacocking and smoke and mirrors. He's also trying to come off as "one of us" despite being a 2nd generation billionaire. He is clearly a socially awkward guy based off the post-PPV media scrums. I thought he was going to lick CM Punk's penis in front of Dave Meltzer.
At the end of the day though I find their overall show more entertaining than WWE. That's all that matters to me. AEW has me considering paying $50 for a PPV and I haven't done that since WrestleMania XXVIII.
