AEW exists because WCW vacated the prime TNT/TBS television slot

AEW exists, in my opinion, because of the failure of WCW because they vacated this great time slot, this great relationship with TNT and TBS that we have. And that was the success of WCW was the outlet, the penetration they had from TNT, TBS, and, of course, the fans.

This is Khan's internal business logic and historical interpretation.

DeAndre Ayton is officially an elite player alongside Luka Doncic and Trey Young

DeAndre Ayton... He's a fucking beast, man. He's like DeAndre Ayton showing up to the whole Trey Young, Luka Doncic, that draft ruled discussion being like, I rule too. I'm awesome on defense and offense.

Ayton's 2021 playoff run was a massive breakout, though his standing relative to Luka and Trae has fluctuated since.

DeMarcus Cousins' push on Devin Booker should have been a flagrant foul

Yeah, so that [DeMarcus Cousins pushing Devin Booker] should have been called, that should have been like a flagrant foul, right?

This is a subjective judgment on officiating during a dead-ball period.

Game 2 was a backbreaker for the Clippers unless Kawhi Leonard returns

That does feel like a backbreaker for the Clippers. Unless Kawhi comes back. I don't know how you recover from that.

The Suns won the series 4-2. Kawhi Leonard did not return.

WCW failed because they gave creative control to wrestlers

I think some of the things that went wrong for WCW, in my opinion, were the creative control. They gave creative control to a lot of the wrestlers. And some of the storylines are asinine. ... Most wrestling companies that have been really successful over time have had, like, one supreme commander at the top who's, like, owned it, booked, like, done everything top to bottom.

This is a widely held opinion in wrestling history regarding WCW's downfall.

Urban Meyer is an awesome person who will have his players' backs

Urban's great, man. ... He's changed my life in the six months I've known him... And the way he motivates people, and I know you're not going to want to hear it if you don't like him, but if you get to know him, there is something about him. ... I'm just saying, if he came in here and you worked with him, you'd love him. He would have your back on anything.

Meyer's tenure was a disaster and he was fired mid-season amid reports of toxic behavior, significantly undermining Khan's 'awesome person' claim.
