With Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite officially within the books, the show has now aired more episodes on TNT than WCW Monday Nitro did, making it the longest-running weekly primetime wrestling series in Turner Networks history — a milestone proudly acknowledged by Tony Khan.
Eric Bischoff, a central figure in WCW’s legacy, had nothing but praise for Khan and the AEW team.
During a recent episode of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Bischoff addressed whether the achievement felt flattering or bothersome. He said,
“I would like to congratulate Tony Khan and his entire staff. This clearly means so much to them, and it’s an enormous accomplishment. Tony put his own money into this. You may judge the product — I definitely have up to now — but at the tip of the day, it was his vision, his dream, his commitment. What he’s done isn’t easy. Regardless of how anyone feels about AEW, this took serious effort and investment. So congratulations.”
He continued, “Does it trouble me? By no means. It doesn’t mean anything to me personally, but I understand why it does to Tony and his team. They’ve worked hard, they usually should have fun it.”
Moreover, you’ll be able to try the updated lineup for Thursday night’s episode of AEW Collision below:
ROH Television Championship:
