During a recent appearance on “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz,” AEW President Tony Khan commented on AEW potentially working with NBA legend Charles Barkley, the future of the NBA’s partnership with TNT, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Charles Barkley potentially working with AEW: “I don’t know. Charles Barkley is a wrestling fan, I think. We presented the Inside The NBA team with AEW Championship belts. He was great and very gracious. We’ve worked with Shaq and Shaq is one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever met or worked with in my entire life. I know that Shaq has been great to AEW.”
On the NBA’s broadcast future: “I don’t know what the future of the NBA holds, but Charles Barkley, as far as being one of the top hosts in all of sports and being one of the most entertaining people in all of television, I think he adds to any sport he’s involved in. If he wanted to come to AEW, we would love that. Absolutely, I would encourage that and support that.”
