AEW Boss Tony Khan Shoots On "F*cking Bullsh*t" CM Punk Comments
Tony Khan doesn't like ex-WWE higher-ups criticising CM Punk's financial impact on AEW.
The war of words between Tony Khan and Eric Bischoff may never stop.
AEW boss Khan responded to Bisch's comments about CM Punk being "the biggest financial flop in the history of wrestling" during the post-Double Or Nothing 2022 media scrum. Rather predictably, Tony had a fiery response of his own.
Khan called Eric's words "the most bullsh*t opinion I've ever heard". He then quickly followed that up by adding, "That's f*cking bullsh*t".
Explaining, Tony said that Bischoff's assessment was wrong because "no one wrestler has ever come in and made a bigger plus delta financial difference in the history of [his] company" than Punk. The AEW chief then pointed to big ratings for Punk's debut on Rampage and the metrics for every pay-per-view he has appeared on to date.
According to Khan, Punk has broken All Elite pay-per-view number records consecutively since his first showing at All Out last September.
Bischoff has been critical of Punk since the ex-WWE man debuted in AEW - Eric has questioned just how valuable Punk is to All Elite's bottom line. Tony Khan says he's very valuable, and didn't hold back when replying to Bisch's comments.
