In a surprising turn of events, former WCW World Heavyweight Champion and WWE head writer Vince Russo has extended an open invitation to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) President Tony Khan for a one-on-one interview.
Russo, known for his unbiased assessments of the wrestling world, took to social media platform X/Twitter to reach out to Khan, promising to be “100% respectful” during their conversation.
Russo’s message to Khan was straightforward, stating that he was a wrestling journalist with credentials in both journalism and wrestling. He expressed his desire to ask Khan a multitude of questions and sought guidance on how to arrange a legitimate interview.
The former booker and writer emphasized that he would not shy away from asking tough questions but would maintain a respectful tone throughout the conversation.
This unexpected olive branch comes on the heels of Russo’s recent praise for Khan’s creative approach to selling an attack on him. During the NFL Draft, Khan wore a neck brace, garnering widespread admiration from fans worldwide, including Russo. The former WWE head writer commended Khan’s ability to entertain and acknowledged the significant impact he has had on the wrestling industry.
However, Russo also offered words of caution, advising Khan to focus on improving AEW’s product before taking shots at WWE. According to Russo, until AEW achieves mass appeal, criticizing WWE will yield little results. This sage advice sparked intense debate among wrestling enthusiasts, with many speculating about the potential outcome of such an interview.
A sit-down conversation between Russo and Khan would undoubtedly generate immense interest within the wrestling community. Both individuals are well-known for their strong opinions and unwavering passion for the sport. If this interview were to materialize, it could provide valuable insights into the inner workings of AEW, WWE, and the wrestling industry as a whole.
As of now, it remains uncertain whether Tony Khan will accept Vince Russo’s invitation. However, one thing is clear – the prospect of these two influential figures engaging in a respectful and in-depth discussion is undeniably intriguing. The wrestling world waits with bated breath, hoping that this opportunity will come to fruition soon.
