The current co owner, President and CEO of AEW Antony Rafiq Khan who is mostly famous under the name of Tony Khan recently talked about WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg and explained why he would never work in the ROH.
Goldberg was one of the biggest talents that was ever created by WCW. During the famous Monday Night Wars, WWE kept on raising new talents like Steve Austin and the Rock where is WCW kept faith on big names like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. The former American football player is one of the fewest name that WWE created during the time.
Tony Khan Explains Why Goldberg Will Never Join ROH
He did not have a very long career in the world of professional wrestling. But in a very short amount of time he became a huge star. WCW built him in a very different way. He had a 176 long unbeaten streak which is a huge record. It made him one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling history.
After the death of WCW in 2001, he remained out of action for over 2 years. Finally in 2003 he made his WWE debut and once again he got a monstrous booking. He worked in WWE for only one year and in this small period of time he created a huge impact. After WrestleMania XX, he left professional wrestling once again.
In 2016 he made his return to WWE and made some sporadic appearances. In 2018 he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Without any doubt, Goldberg is one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling history. He is currently 56 year old but he still looks to be in a good shape and he can definitely make another in ring return.
Antony Rafiq Khan who is mostly famous under the name of Tony Khan recently spoke on ROH Supercard of Honor post-show media scrum where he talked about WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg and explained why he would never work in the ROH. He said;
“Goldberg in Ring of Honor is never going to happen.However, I do think that would be interesting for AEW. That is another great example of the differences between AEW and Ring of Honor. AEW has a bigger budget, but I try to take the production values of AEW and use some of the synergies so ROH can leverage AEW’s great production team and assets. But, at the same time, it’s also great for AEW to develop young wrestlers, to have some of the top stars come here and represent that company.
“At the same time, there are things I would do in AEW that are more expensive. There are things in ROH that are more catered to a hardcore fanbase. I know we can bring in wrestlers that people will be excited to see, but that might not necessarily translate to a huge Nielsen rating. Although ROH has done record live gates and revenue over the past year or so, I don’t want to do something out of character.”
