Tony Khan Reveals AEW Star Has Become A Top Voice In The Company
Tony Khan might make all the decisions in AEW, but it seems there’s one name in the company that has the boss’s ear.
Tony Khan is famously hands-on with all aspects of AEW. Khan has previously indicated he feels AEW’s on-screen product has improved as he cut out a lot of voices who were offering ideas and perspectives to take control on his own.
However, no man is an island, and many believe Bryan Danielson has become something of a right-hand man to Khan. But now it seems, there’s another star in the company that might wield a good bit of influence.
Tony Khan Hugely Impressed By MVP
Speaking to Jim Varsallone, Tony Khan explained how valuable The Hurt Syndicate’s MVP is to AEW as he praises his wrestling mind:
MVP is an outstanding pro wrestling mind. He’s come in and become a top voice in AEW. Bobby Lashley is still undefeated and unpinned in the ring. He is an outstanding star. Shelton Benjamin has come into AEW and been one of the top athletes and somebody that has not only turned back the clock but established themselves as one of the premier bell-to-bell wrestlers to this day after decades in the sport.
When you have two top athletes like Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, they’ve held the world Tag Team Championships together, they’ve been singles stars, and now MVP is stepping in the ring and wrestling for us, which has been great. Having such a great group in AEW, for me, MVP has to be out there with some of the smartest people and best minds.
He’s had a great career in the ring as a wrestler, he has great experience, which helps him as one of the top coaches and managers in pro wrestling today. He has a very inspirational story outside of the ring, which only enhances his knowledge and legacy. I love working with MVP. He’s tremendous and the kind of great person we want in AEW.
