Is AEW's Tony Khan Becoming The Next Vince Russo?
We loved AEW and still wish the company the very best! The fantastic atmosphere great matches and focus on being an alternative to WWE.
However professional wrestling fans have concerns for AEW at present and certainly in the future, many of those concerns are with AEW owner Tony Khan.
Tony Khan has done an amazing job in establishing a new promotion with All Elite Wrestling.
In the beginning, we had Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks and Hangman Adam Page leading the charge..
. We also had new upcoming wrestling talent like the Four Pillars Darby Allen, Jungle Boy Jack Perry and Sammi Guevara. A bright future seemed on the horizon for AEW.
Former WWE main event stars CM Punk Luke Harper and Jon Moxley would join experienced indy talents like Eddie Kingston, Orange Cassidy, and AEW seemed destined for success.
However cracks began to appear as egos clashed and a lack of maturity between CM Punk and EVP's The Elite would be involved in a backstage incident, Sammi Guevara would keep getting in trouble with experienced talent and it became obvious that the inexperienced Tony Khan was losing control of the locker room and the AEW program.
Buying ROH may have been seen as a great move initially However Tony Khan has arguably too many titles and too much work with producing AEW Dynamite, Aew Dark (at the time) AEW Rampage and AEW collision also while the relationship with NJPW (New Japan pro wrestling and AAA has been interesting and given wrestling fans such PpV events like NJPW X Aew wrestle Dynasty 2025 and AEW forbidden door it maybe has not had the desired ratings boost All Elite Wrestling might have hoped for. Dynamite continues to be the flagship show but aew tv ratings and in house attendance been struggling .
Wrestling fans in recent times have been disappointed with the use of such great stars as Will Ospreay, Okada the Young Bucks, FTR, Ricochet, Edge and many others.
Storylines like Jon Moxley's Deathriders and MJF's Heel Turn alongside these aforementioned incidents have left the fans baffled with many being reminded of WCW 2000 and the chaos under Vince Russo with Tony Khans Aew in 2025.
So what are your thoughts is Tony Khan becoming the new Vince Russo?
OR can he turn things around with more experienced help backstage and not listening to people like Dave Meltzer? We at Top Turnbuckle podcast wish AEW it's talent and Tony Khan all the best and hope AEW Dynasty is a success and things ony get better in 2025!
Let us know in the comments!

      Great point. 👍 He did and for better or worse had some ideas that contributed to changing the WWF's fortunes creatively when they were arguably at their worst... Russo it has been said by multiple individuals in shoot interviews needed a filter and an experienced creative team around him to tweak his ideas to make them work.. Do you think with the right people around him this might help Tony Khan and AEW? 🤔👍

      @TopTurnbucklePodcast the problem is that Tony isn't a good booker and he's not creative he just follows what Meltzer likes and what Meltzer likes aren't good in the general sense, he's a rich man-child who doesn't have a backbone and he can't control big egos. Here's an example, do you think Tony can handle prime Bret and Shawn? It's already been hammered by everyone who has common sense that Tony NEEDS to leave creative and bookings to people who knows what to do. It's been 6 yrs and he still thinks he's doing a good job even though every metric shows he isn't, his attempt to do live show failed, he keeps booking big venue when he only uses 25% of the place, his ticket sales and viewership are low especially, I keep hearing that most of his shows are just buy one get one frees, He also doesn't advertise in local cities and worst of all he's booking at a loss. No matter how much money he'll lose he won't learn from it cause he's a rich kid who never learned consequences. He also doesn't listen to people who already been in his shoes for decades and keeps repeating the same mistakes they did but the difference is that he'll keep doing it cause he'll just throw more money to it.

      I think jobbers while at this present time seems correct I do feel it's still early days in what plans WWE maybe have for the group and this is a slow burn... However that maybe is bias on our part as we are big fans of the Wyatts and alongside the fact that this story is meant to continue and honor Bray (Windhams) legacy. We are fair here and we respect your opinion. We will do a video and be as fairly critical as we can, We can certainly see your point of view. 👍

      First of all if you listen to the video and the discussion only one of the people have the opinion that she has no qualities as a talent or a draw, an opinion they are entitled to on a subjective subject. The other individual feels she is talented but her real life attitude which in a world where social media is so influential does have an impact her actions such as her attitude towards fans alongside interviews she has done AS MERCEDES VARNADO appear arrogant and this has damaged her career. The titles she has currently are ARGUABLY for some secondary titles and for the money she is on and the influence she has had she has not had the desired impact many would expect... This is a member of the four horsewomen that you would expect to be a needle mover, so far for many that has not been the case and they entitled to their opinion... As much as you are. That is the point of a discussion or debate. 👍

    I’m a huge Mercedes fan and I’m so disappointed in the way she’s been booked. I like her carrying on the whole Boss gimmick by just renaming it, but I feel like she needs a twist to it. She needs to evolve in dramatic ways akin to Becky Lynch. Something I think of a lot for a good evolution story is: She needs to lose her titles one by one, start to question her pedigree, have story where she’s going on a spending binge and dodging her scheduled appearances, we find out she’s kayfabe going broke, her mind starts to warp and her ego begins cracking. We then get a promo (a callback to the birth of The Boss, where Summer Rae questioned her place in NXT) of her sitting at a mirror all alone, staring at herself and talking to herself in a whispered craze. She applies her old red lipstick, accidentally misses her lip line, become hysterical and screams. She gets up to take her stiletto off and throws it into the mirror, shattering it. She looks at the broken vanity, the top desk and floor all covered in shards, and slowly backs away with a demented grin, holding the sides of her face in shock. That would be great set up for a twisted delusional Success Guru story for Mercedes. It would be such a fun and campy way to get her over again. I don’t think she realizes that she’s reached a plateau creatively and that it’s hurting her brand. I wouldn’t even mind her doing the same stuff as she has been for the past 10 years, but she’s been heavily diluted since joining AEW. They are killing the whole CEO/Boss thing the way they’re booking her currently.

    She stinks 😂. Don't wrestle like she did in WWE.Even in Japan she was okay but over in AEW she is a disappointment to the wrestling business.Time for her to lose both titles because she is not the one for AEW women's division.Cant wait for Kamila to take the title and beat the living hell out of her.A washed up and wasted of time.

    Short Answer: Yes Long Answer: Yes very much yes but perhaps she was overrated to begin with I understand some superstars wanting to leave wwe either by their own choice or a release want to prove themselves like Drew & Cody did. They worked their asses off knowing they could be doing more outside of wwe and improved their stock. Mercedes thinks she is much better than she is and granted shes had good matches with Bayley & Bianca but if she wanted Charlotte Flair levels of cash to come to wwe again when she isnt even on the level below Charlotte. If she wanted to prove herself outside of WWE then she has done a horrible job and is coasting on her name. I never really thought much of Sasha Banks and her matches were bad for the most part with good matches being kinda rare. I just didnt get why she was rated so high in WWE. She just sounds like a Bitch who doesnt get her way she cries. Put the effort in and maybe people will look different

      Pro wrestling is a subjective art form which is open to criticism, critique and alternative opinions, what is amazing to some individuals is not to others and that's great and healthy if the discussion about that subject matter is mature and open to respecting different points of view. We are respectful of that here, so if you do not agree with our opinion to the extent you have to communicate your hatred for it please give us yours 👍

    As a HUGE Sasha/Mercedes fan for 9 years now, her work in AEW has been unsavory & lackluster from the promos, stories, matches & even simple things as visage such as gear, etc. I think if she had chosen to re-sign with WWE under the HHH regime or continue her work in Japan from last year, which was critically acclaimed by many. She’s coasted or even worse regressed as a performer. She just doesn’t have the same drive or passion I feel & it’s reflecting in her AEW work. WWE hid her weaknesses very well but AEW like with many people on their roster, they expose their weaknesses & continue to do so. Mercedes is just another victim of a uber popular WWE star moving to AEW & feeling like a complete afterthought. At least her contract in AEW goes til 2026 & I’m hopeful she can set the aside her pride in how much she’s getting payed & chooses to salvage the legacy she made for herself by going back to WWE. M

      Another thing to add, she’s always been confident in her abilities if you’ve watched her interviews going back to 2015/2016 & rightfully so. Sometimes she can come across as hubris & way in over her head. Atleast she backed it up in WWE & even in her short Japan run. However, her recent work is abysmal & the same attitude she has as an individual is rubbing people the wrong way now because she’s not backing it up. Actions speak louder than words.

      @@sultanofwrestlingidk man. By 2026, I think wwe will be a very different place and she may have a tougher time finding her footing. Wwe has some monsters in nxt and some women on the main roster who I think are going to be major players by 2026 if she were to go back. Lash legend, Jaida Parker, Tiffany Stratton, Lola Vice, Giulia, Zaria, Stephanie Vaquer. And they may still have Rhea, Jade, Bianca and Liv. Maybe she’d be better off in aew where she’d definitely make more money. Plus, there’s no way in hell wwe is giving her creative control like Aew did.
