Tony Khan: Before AEW Collision, 80-Hour Work Weeks Were Good, I’m Way Past That Now
Tony Khan comments on his hectic work schedule.
With the rapid growth of AEW and the formation of AEW Saturday Collision, in addition to his other business ventures, Tony Khan’s schedule is even busier now than ever before.
Speaking in an interview with Business Insider, Khan reflected on his current schedule, work ethic, and whether or not he’s concerned about any perceptions that he’s got to live up to his father’s work ethic.
“No one works harder than my dad, and I’m honestly very lucky because he’s the hardest-working person I’ve ever seen, and here I am, I get to work on the stuff I love. I’ve worked hard to get to a position where I can work on things I love all the time,” he said. “80 hours is nothing. That was before “Collision.” Before that, 80 hours was a good week. I’m way past that now.
“You know, I’m the only person who has never missed an AEW show. We had a referee that had never missed a show until a few weeks ago,” he added. “He missed a ‘Collision,’ so now I’m the one, and, God bless this guy, he made hundreds of shows. ‘Dynamite’ alone, we’ve done 206 episodes, so that’s not counting ‘Rampage,’ ‘Collision,’ and all the pay-per-views. So now I’m the iron man. But what else am I going to do?”
