Vince Russo Explains The Real Reason He Wants To Interview Tony Khan

Vince Russo is finally an interview with AEW President Tony Khan, but he says the real reason behind it isn’t about attacking him or stirring up controversy.

Speaking on his show, Russo made it clear that he’s not trying to embarrass Khan or create some viral moment. Instead, he wants to understand how Khan thinks and why he runs AEW the way he does. Russo explained that the questions he plans to ask won’t be softened, but they also aren’t meant to trap Khan.

“I'm not, bro. It's not going to — I don't think any of the questions I want to ask — I don't think they could be sugarcoated.”

He then laid out the real reason he wants the interview in the first place — getting inside Khan’s mindset and learning how he approaches wrestling. Russo also made it clear that fans expecting a confrontation shouldn’t count on it. He said the goal isn’t to “get” Khan or embarrass him, but to have an honest conversation about how Khan sees wrestling.

“I really want to get in Tony Khan's head, man. I really want to understand Tony's way of thinking.”

“This is not a got you interview, bro. I don't want to interview Tony Khan to get him. What? Get him for what?”

He wrapped up his explanation by pointing out that Khan simply produces a different style of wrestling than he did in the past, and understanding that difference is the real point of the interview.

“You know, Tony Khan produces a different style of wrestling than Vince Russo did. I mean, it's that simple. And that is the type of wrestling that Tony likes.”

Russo’s comments make it clear that this interview isn’t about drama — it’s about digging into why AEW operates the way it does. If Khan opens up, the conversation could give fans a rare look into his decision-making and long-term thinking.

Russo has talked about wanting this interview for years, so now that it’s finally coming together, there’s real curiosity about what questions he’ll ask and how honest the answers will be.
