Tony Khan Learned A Lot About ‘Marketing’ From The Costco Guys
In an interview with Liz Claman of The Claman Countdown ahead of the Full Gear PPV, Tony Khan heaped praises on the duo and opened up about how much knowledge he gained from them.
So much. I think that what I’ve seen with AJ and Big Justice together — first of all, this is real. Like, behind the scenes, what you see is what you get. Authenticity is important. And also, they’ve shown me the power of TikTok. Of marketing to, frankly, people that have never watched AEW or wrestling before. And we’re bringing in new fans. And AJ is a former pro wrestler making a comeback. So it’s great.”
