Vince Russo slams Tony Khan for declining ratings of AEW

Former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Vince Russo recently accused Tony Khan of being responsible for the declining viewership of All Elite Wrestling.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo, the former WWE Head Writer claimed that Tony Khan is the reason the company is losing potential new viewers.

"This is how I look at it. Bro, it's your company. You can do whatever you want. If I owned my company, I would do whatever I wanted. And again, Chris, we just have to remind ourselves. It's not about the money. It's about what you just said. And it's really, really, really a shame because you do have a wrestling fanbase out there, and bro, if you could create another promotional war, you can increase the fans. But he's so far from that, it's not even funny," said Vince Russo. [From 06:54 to 07:38]
