Tony Khan’s ill fate regarding a downgraded public image isn’t ending at all. Starting from undervaluing and misusing talents to faulty business moves, leading to the slackening in viewerships, fans keep on lambasting the AEW head honcho. Now, adding to his misery, an instance of poor management skill also sprang up at last night’s AEW Collision.
In front of a psyched-up crowd in Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, a rather unforeseen and threatening situation occurred, leading fans to vehemently raise fingers at the security matters of Khan’s business. A hard-hitting one-to-one between Daniel Garcia and KM (the former clinched the victory) just went down when an unthinkable event caught everyone inside the arena off guard. In between the post-match proceedings, a fan breached the barricade and tried to exert himself into the ring, leading to instant chaos all around.
The security personnel present there quickly took notice of the pandemonium and rushed to tackle the situation. They were thankfully able to restrain the intruder from invading the safety of the stars present on the ringside but weren’t able to stop the unbridled boos coming from the audience. Loud ‘You f**cked up’ chants resonated through the entire arena, indicating collective frustration over the mismanagement.

There was no question that the security and the officials did their part with full efficiency, escorting the stranger out immediately. But the real question lies in how this type of situation can arise in the first place in such a high-stakes show. What kind of lack in the precautionary measures passively influences the mishap to happen? Of course, Khan happens to be the one to answer. As a result, fans frantically turn on the AEW Boss and his securities on Twitter.
Fans lash out at the whole AEW proceedings following the threatening misconduct of a fan at Collison
The world of pro wrestling has been full of unscripted, botched, and rather funny moments. One such iconic embarrassing twist occurred when the incident occurred when Vince McMahon had to make an unscheduled run-in during an awkwardly confusing Royal Rumble ending where John Cena and Batista hit the floor at the same time. The former WWE Boss hilariously ended up interfering and tearing his quads. A fan on Twitter referred to that incident to explain the AEW Collision’s botch.
As a fellow Vancouverite, this is embarrassing af.
Although, I laughed as it seemed like the guy pulled a ‘05 Royal Rumble Vince McMahon moment – torn quads. 😂

While such incidents ain’t foreign in the ring of WWE either. Seth Rollins faced a similar embarrassment when a fan got close enough to tackle him two years ago. But, in WWE, an outsider could never cross the ring barrier whatsoever. Noticing the small line of difference, people continued venting their animosity over the AEW matters.

Piss poor security if he got that far.
