It really sounds like Tony Khan is genuinely the Forbidden Door of professional wrestling.
Tony Khan was a recent guest on My Mom’s Basement to discuss All Elite Wrestling. He was asked if he’s ever spoken to Vince McMahon during the discussion. While Khan confirms the two have never talked, he had heard from WWE recently about their upcoming documentary projects:
“I heard from them recently. I’ll break this news here; I don’t think it’s being aggressive or anything to say it,” Tony Khan began. “They are doing documentaries, a lot of the biographies, and they wanted to use some of the people here, and I think that’s a thing that’s probably going to come out sooner or later. They want to interview some of the people that wrestle here that used to wrestle there and some people that have had a history there with the other libraries that they own. So we’ll see; I’m open to talking. I heard from them, and they were very nice.”
When asked if this was the first time Tony Khan had heard from WWE, Khan confirmed that it wasn’t and specifically mentioned the Broken Skull Sessions with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Chris Jericho:
“No, it’s not. We’ve heard a couple other things. We did the thing last year; Chris Jericho did the thing with Steve Austin,” Tony Khan said. “And that was made essentially because of Steve. And I trust Steve and Chris completely, and Steve’s a friend of mine, and Chris is a friend of mine. It was super classy, and as long as everything’s classy, and just the way they approached me was very classy. So I have nothing bad to say about that. And so, I don’t know if we’ll see that competition head to head, but I am considering some of these requests on some of these biographies. And it was actually a very nice call I received the other day, but I’ve never actually talked to Vince himself. ”
