Former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho recently talked about AEW President Tony Khan only occasionally appearing on television.
Chris Jericho explains the matter
Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Chris Jericho commented about Tony Khan’s announcement on AEW Dynamite of the new series, AEW: All Access. It was AEW star Adam Cole who made the announcement of the upcoming reality show which will debut soon.
During the podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray wondered why the announcement was made in a pre-recorded segment instead of in front of the live crowd, Jericho responded:
‘I think, probably, Tony’s very careful on how he presents himself on camera, so I think that’s probably it. I think he likes to kind of put the spotlight on the wrestlers, which is [why] he had Adam Cole do [the announcement]. And I think he’s probably more comfortable doing things that way in the back where you can have a couple takes.
‘Now, every show, Tony comes out before the show and riles up the crowd and gets them pumped up and excited, but when it comes to corporate general manager-owner type stuff, he wants to put the focus onto his players the same way that he does with the Jacksonville Jaguars or with the Fulham Football Club in London. I think he just feels more comfortable that way as an executive.’
