Tony Khan continues to keep himself insanely busy with work.
All Elite Wrestling owner Tony Khan recently sat down with Jason Guerrasio of Insider. When asked how much his day-to-day is focused on the wrestling company with the NFL season starting up again, Khan revealed he already typically works 80 to 100 hours a week.
“I have worked 80 to 100 hours a week for a very long time,” Tony Khan said. “I just love the stuff I do so much. I wouldn’t want to do anything other than football and wrestling. Wrestling was a hobby of mine for a long time, it was my vice. Now, I don’t have much of a vice because I’m doing both.
“But a lot of the work I do in the NFL, we have a huge staff. When we started the analytics department, it was just me and now there’s a bunch of people and it’s grown and grown, so I don’t have to be in the office anywhere near 80 hours a week anymore.
“I still give my reports during the week; I’ve done this week already. There’s a lot of work in the transfer world for Fulham. And then there’s a lot happening with AEW, with the ratings being up.”
Tony Khan’s work week increased with the addition of AEW Collision
When it was suggested a lot of people love the work they do but don’t put 80 hours a week into it, Khan said he believes 80 hours a week is nothing.
“80 hours is nothing,” Tony Khan said. “That was before “Collision.” Before that, 80 hours was a good week. I’m way past that now. You know, I’m the only person who has never missed an AEW show. We had a referee that had never missed a show until a few weeks ago.
“He missed a “Collision,” so now I’m the one. And, God bless this guy, he made hundreds of shows. “Dynamite” alone, we’ve done 206 episodes, so that’s not counting “Rampage,” “Collision,” and all the pay-per-views. So now I’m the iron man. But what else am I going to do?”
