Tony Khan Would Chat With Lou Thesz On AOL When He Was 12
Being the owner of a wrestling promotion and involved in the NFL and Premier League, Tony Khan has a lot of famous friends.
With AEW coming to St. Louis for WrestleDream, Tony revealed that he used to chat with one of the most famous wrestlers when he was a kid.
“One of the greatest champions ever in wrestling, and certainly one of the greatest figures in St. Louis, is Lou Thesz. I’m honored that, I believe, the wife of the late great Lu Thesz, Mrs. Thesz, will be in attendance. I had some correspondence with Charlie Thesz. I have so much respect for Lou’s legacy. When I was really young and he wrote a book called Hooker, I was 12 years old, and I used to talk with Lou on AOL a lot and he was very insightful. I learned a lot talking with him,” said Tony on the WrestleDream media call.
Tony was hopeful that Lou’s wife would be able to attend WrestleDream on Saturday.
Elsewhere during the call, Tony commented on the status of Andrade. You can read his full comments here.
