AEW President Tony Khan recently shared some of his favorite professional wrestlers, highlighted the best technical wrestlers, and named several top stars who are not currently signed with AEW. During an interview on Robbie Fox’s podcast “My Mother’s Underground,” Khan was asked about his favorite technical wrestlers and mentioned notable names in the category.
He praised wrestlers like Zack Sabre Jr. and Bret “Hitman” Hart, emphasizing their impressive technical skills. Khan also expressed admiration for technical tag team wrestling, mentioning both current and legendary teams such as FTR, Midnight Express, and Rock and Roll Express.
When asked about his favorite wrestlers outside of AEW, Khan cited talents from NJPW, Stardom, and CMLL, including Zack Sabre Jr., Starlight Kid, Aumni, and Mistico—the latter being one of his favorites since his college days and early involvement with CMLL in the early 2000s.
Fan Take: Tony Khan’s acknowledgment of technical wrestlers and international stars highlights AEW’s commitment to diverse wrestling styles and global talent. This openness not only excites fans but also signals potential future collaborations or signings that could elevate the quality and variety of wrestling in AEW.
