Tony Khan likes working with Gedo.
The hype for massive AEW-NJPW super show Forbidden Door is ramping up daily. The card is taking shape more and more every day as the highly anticipated pay-per-view approaches.
Interpromotional super shows haven't always gone smooth in the past, though. In a new interview with Comicbook, Tony Khan was asked about working with NJPW head booker Gedo and if there were hurdles involved.
"Yeah, I've likened it to Crimson Tide where Denzel [Washington] gets a missile key. So, Gedo and I, generally anything that involves AEW & New Japan, I think we're both going to have to agree on what the matchup is, and what the ideas are for the show. And in general, that's what we've been doing for over a year now. And it's worked really well. It started with AEW wrestlers going there and I had some thoughts and ideas about what they should or shouldn't be doing. And then New Japan started sending wrestlers here later in 2021, and for over a year, the Forbidden Door has gone both ways with wrestlers coming in from both companies and out and working for each other. So it is different when we're working together like this and it's been a great collaboration for a long time now with AEW and New Japan, and I like working with Gedo."
When asked if there were plans to make Forbidden Door an annual event, Khan noted that he hopes it will.
"Yeah. I think we are hoping that's what it'll become."
At Forbidden Door, AEW will crown the first ever All-Atlantic Champion. The match will feature three AEW stars and one NJPW star. To see Khan's comments on adding the new belt, click here.
