In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) hosted their events in Jacksonville, with the company’s President, Tony Khan, making a recent appearance on “Q101”. He chatted about the beginnings of the company and the achievements they accomplished during this time.
Below you’ll find intriguing aspects from the said interview:
About AEW’s triumphant run through the lockdown period: “The lockdown indeed altered everything, but it ushered in a highly successful era for AEW. We managed to host all our shows in Jacksonville for over a year. Post that, when we resumed touring, it’s been just beyond three years. Within this tenure … We graced Wembley Stadium and attracted 81,000 attendees for AEW All In.”
Regarding the company’s ability to pull in larger audiences in bigger cities: “The areas where AEW has attracted the most currently have NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball franchises, or are substantial college townships. One domain we shall consistently analyse and assess is our best performing markets, and strategize to target them as needed.”
