AEW Boss Tony Khan Praises ‘Major Influence’ of WCW as ‘Dynamite’ Surpasses ‘Monday Nitro’ Episode Count


AEW's Tony Khan spoke with Variety about 'Dynamite' producing more episodes than WCW's 'Monday Nitro.'

“It had a major influence on anyone that was watching wrestling at that time,” AEW president, CEO and general manager Tony Khan said of “Nitro” in an interview with Variety. Khan went on to say that many matches on “Nitro” featured a style of wrestling that was not something typically seen in the U.S. at the time, but that giving it a spotlight on the show has influenced generations of wrestlers since. The show will feature matches like AEW Trios champions the Death Riders (Jon Moxley, PAC and Claudio Castagnoli) taking on The Opps (Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata and HOOK).
