Pacific Rim: AEW’s Tony Khan talks his fandom of puroresu

Pacific Rim: AEW’s Tony Khan talks his fandom of puroresu

The Pacific Rim Pro Wrestling Podcast is back with a show that has been years in the making as AEW head Tony Khan joins myself and journalist Fumi Saito.

With AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2 coming up this weekend, it seemed like a good time to talk about Tony’s puroresu fandom growing up in the 90s and early 2000s. 

We discuss how he discovered Japanese wrestling, tape trading, the early days of the internet, his favorite wrestlers, matches, and how it influences what you see on AEW today. 

This is a side of Tony Khan you don’t see on TV: as a wrestling fan.

Check it out.
