WWE President and TKO board member Nick Khan recently appeared on the SBJ CAA World Congress of Sports convention. In the course of the chat, Khan claimed that the corporate doesn’t conduct business on the tough complaints they receive from fans. He said,
“I even have never read X or Twitter because it pertains to our business and I’ve actually never read it regarding me. That could be a vocal minority.”
“A few of the complaints [in WWE’s personalized fan service] are, ‘I didn’t just like the match — you guys are pieces of sh*t.’ And I’m going, ‘OK, I got it.’ Some are, ‘Hey, we had an obstructed view.’ OK — we’ll have you ever come to our next show. Persons are allowed to complain, but we don’t adjust our business based on complaints. We adjust based on rankings, revenue, relevancy.”
Khan On Future WWE NXT Stars Call-Ups
Appearing on a recent edition of “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” Nick Khan confirmed that just a few NXT stars would soon jump to the WWE fundamental roster. He said,
“We went right down to our Performance Center to see Shawn Michaels and Matt Bloom who run that on a everyday basis and run NXT with us. And we said, ‘Okay, let’s take a have a look at the talent here. How come DX, for instance, when it was first beginning to pop, Triple H I feel was like 26. Why is it taking longer?’”
“Because doing it from the studio every week, you don’t get the authentic fan response that young wrestlers have to know in the event that they’re work is working or not. Randy Orton shows up in St Louis, he’s getting all of the cheers on this planet, he shows up in a special city, he doesn’t. It’s worthwhile to know the right way to react to that.”
“He said, ‘We’d like to have the ability to take NXT on the road.’ ‘Great, no problem, give us every week.’ We got here back to Shawn, ‘Let’s take it on the road starting in a month,’ or whatever it was. And then you definately saw the fast acceleration of Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, soon to be others coming up from NXT.’”
