One of the most popular wrestlers in AEW is the former Women’s World Champion ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm. Especially, her ‘Timeless’ gimmick is one of the most popular gimmicks in recent times.
The AEW President, Tony Khan, was recently interviewed on the Going Ringside podcast. During the interview, Khan shared that he sees Storm as an icon in the business.
“I think that she is an icon, and I think that that iconic presence was always inside of her, and that’s what I told her when we started this, is that she has that presence.” [H/T WrestlingNews.co]
Khan shared that even during her mid-20s, the former AEW Women’s World Champion had a ‘timeless’ persona.
“She was at the time in her mid-20s, yet she had this timeless presence that she was gonna clearly have throughout her career. This aura, this way of speaking, all these things that Toni Storm brings, and she’s an incredible wrestler, and she’s so charismatic, and the fans respect her.”
Tony Khan also appreciated Storm’s character work in playing the ‘Timeless’ gimmick.
“This transition she’s made to Timeless Toni Storm, she’s found the classic movie star inside of herself, and she’s become the first wrestler, not only of all the AEW stars who are on TBS, who are on TNT, but also the first wrestler now, Toni Storm, to be on TCM, Turner Classic Movies. She is truly a timeless fighter, movie star, a timeless wrestler, and a great, great charismatic presence,” Tony Khan said. [H/T WrestlingNews.co]
