Tony Khan interview preview filed to GERWECK.NET:

Tony Khan returns with a breakdown of the Full Gear 2020 PPV card! He reveals which match he thinks will steal the show, which he’s been excited to book since the inception of AEW, and which is a confrontation that’s been brewing for years before AEW’s launch! He has thoughts on Eddie Kingston’s impact, Darby Allin’s title chances, the future of the Inner Circle, Nyla Rose and Vickie Guerrero’s working relationship, and Cody’s TNT Championship reign. Plus, Tony reveals what Chris Jericho originally pitched for the “Dinner Debonair,” what inspired Eric Bischoff’s return to Dynamite, and why the Orange Cassidy vs John Silver match got bumped up from the buy-in to PPV card!

TONY KHAN QUOTES:

MJF & Chris Jericho Match

“The Inner Circle possibly with MJF as a member is unthinkable, and the Inner Circle definitely would be the biggest force, not just in AEW, but I think the Inner Circle would be the talk of professional wrestling.”

Kenny Omega & Hangman Adam Page Match

“For me, this has been a long time coming. I’ve wanted to do the Kenny Hangman match on PPV for a long time.”

FTR vs The Young Bucks

“This babyface team and this heel team, it’s been built up and talked about for years, long before there was an AEW, long before I knew I was gonna get into the wrestling business, and I’m just really proud that AEW’s promoting this match and that we’re having it here.”

Eddie Kingston

“Since he came in this Summer, he’s become one of the top people in AEW and one of the top people in wrestling, and he’s very effective as a wrestler; he’s very effective as a speaker; he’s very effective as a leader; and I think he could be a great champion for us.”
