In a recent interview, New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) star Gabe Kidd took a bold shot at fans of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), sparking controversy in the professional wrestling world. Kidd, a member of the Bullet Club War Dogs faction and former Strong Openweight Tag Team Champion, made a scathing remark about AEW fans while promoting NJPW.
The comment, which was shared on social media, has sparked a heated debate among wrestling enthusiasts, with many coming to the defense of AEW and its loyal fan base. Kidd’s comment has also drawn comparisons to similar criticisms made by other wrestlers in the past.
Meanwhile, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff, who has worked with AEW in the past, has also spoken out against AEW President Tony Khan. In a recent episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff expressed his reluctance to work with Khan, citing differences in their approach to professional wrestling. Bischoff, who has had experience working with Khan’s predecessor in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Vince Russo, stated that he would be more comfortable working with Russo in the future.
Bischoff’s comments have added fuel to the fire, sparking speculation about the tension between AEW and NJPW. The WWE Hall of Famer’s criticism of Khan has raised eyebrows, particularly given his past appearances for AEW. It remains to be seen whether Bischoff’s comments have ended any chance of him working with AEW in the future.
This latest controversy highlights the ongoing competition between AEW and NJPW, two of professional wrestling’s largest promotions. As the rivalry between the two organizations continues to intensify, fans are eagerly awaiting the fallout from these bold comments. Will AEW and NJPW be able to put their differences aside, or will the feud escalate into something bigger? Only time will tell.
