I had no idea his sister is Nahnatchka Khan who produces Young Rock as well as Fresh off the Boat, Malcolm in the Middle, American Dad

Other notes:
Says WWE is focused on them and not other competition out of fear of distraction

He said NXT will have a new look and are not just looking at indie wrestles "but other places"

Managed Ariel when he was a sports broadcast agent

Irainan American, grew up watching WWF. Loved Sheikh and worked Wrestlemania 9 as Ceaser's staff at college

Don't go off the tweet go to 19:22 in the video for the full context.

That makes it worse, especially for Raw lol

If you have all that time for great content (as alluded to in the video) then why is it so trash?

It doesn't matter whether it's good or not the checks stay the same. They've figured out a baseline amount of business they'll do no matter what. I feel likei read recently that ticket sales account for a smallpercentage of overall revenue and that's what would really be impacted by the show bottoming out. They also have fixed revenue due to the Peacock deal right?

The WWE is basically the NFL at this point. People bytch and complain about it but they're still watching.

I’m surprised this thread hasn’t done more numbers so far. I hopped on Twitter earlier and saw all types of tweets/takes on this interview. Some of these marks out here really think the future of WWE is looking :francis: lol

Bout to give some of this a listen now.
