Lol Tony Khan is part of the Cult of Cornette. I guess I'm not surprised considering TK does have a passion for the business (and tried to hire Cornette). I wonder why he never sought out hiring other experienced bookers. Although thankfully not Russo or Bischoff. A story from previous road agent Jimmy Jacobs:

Tony and I would listen to Jim Cornette’s podcasts during those drives, and it became a thing—sometimes we’d agree, sometimes we’d disagree. But what was most important was the passion behind what Cornette said. It was always about respecting the history of wrestling and understanding what makes the business work. Cornette’s a polarizing figure, but you can’t deny that he knows wrestling. Tony would often ask me, ‘Do you agree with Jim on this?’ It wasn’t about agreeing with him necessarily, but more about understanding where he was coming from and applying that knowledge to what we were doing in AEW.”
