AEW’s Tony Khan Reveals His Top Four Wrestling Legends

Tony Khan, the driving force behind All Elite Wrestling (AEW), has never been shy about expressing his deep-rooted passion for professional wrestling. From his early days of trading wrestling tapes to helming one of the most prominent wrestling promotions today, Khan’s journey has been intertwined with the sport. In a recent revelation on the Superstar Crossover podcast, Khan unveiled the four wrestling legends that constitute his personal Mount Rushmore.

Ricky Steamboat is leading the list, synonymous with technical prowess and memorable feuds. Next up is “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, whose rebellious attitude and groundbreaking segments revolutionized the Attitude Era. Ric Flair, the 16-time world champion and the “Nature Boy” of wrestling, also finds a spot on Khan’s list. The final name is Bret “The Hitman” Hart, whose technical mastery and compelling storylines have left an indelible mark on the wrestling world.

Khan didn’t just list names; he delved into the essence of each pick. Speaking about Bret Hart, Khan emphasized Hart’s in-ring capabilities and his demeanor outside the squared circle. Describing him as a “classy person” and a “real gentleman,” Khan highlighted how Bret lives up to his reputation as one of the all-time greats. He also reminisced about the moment when Bret Hart unveiled the AEW World Championship at the inaugural Double or Nothing event, marking a significant milestone for the promotion.

While these choices are subjective and personal to Khan, they offer a glimpse into the mind of one of wrestling’s most influential figures today. Each of these legends, in their unique way, has shaped the landscape of professional wrestling, and their influence is evident in AEW’s ethos and presentation.
