AEW has seen a ton of growth over the course of four years and it continues to make history with their upcoming events. AEW All In is certainly the company’s biggest event yet and it made history in many ways. Now it appears Tony Khan claimed that Owen Hart’s son told him AEW felt like him despite his hatred for pro wrestling.
There were 11 matches at the pay-per-view in Wembley and each of them lived up to the hype in their own way. It was a major financial success as well because the event topped $10 million at the gate.
AEW has also held two tournaments in memory of Owen Hart, with the Hart family even making appearances on AEW television. While speaking to Insider, Tony Khan claimed that Owen Hart’s son Oje told him AEW felt like him despite his hatred for pro wrestling.
”It’s such a special place. I remember standing outside Wembley Stadium with a bunch of the guys; we were walking out of the show, and Oje Hart was with us — Owen Hart’s son. In the shadow of Wembley Stadium, as we all walked out, he said: “Pro wrestling took everything from me and I hate it, yet here I am and AEW feels like home to me.” It’s a moment I’ll never forget. It was so perfect to happen there. At Wembley.
The Owen Hart tournament is not just a once-a-year thing, it’s really special. They are a part of our crew. To have Christian Cage, Jeff Jarrett, Dustin Rhodes, people who were really close to Owen Hart, it means a lot to people here to continue that legacy.”
AEW will continue to honor and respect the late great Owen Hart with the tournament every year and continue to have a good relationship with the Hart family. For Tony Khan, that is all that matters.
What’s your opinion on what Tony Khan said? Are you glad AEW is honoring Owen Hart’s memory in such a way? Let us know in the comments!
