Tony Khan has been often called out for his way of handling AEW, especially when it comes to handling talent. Former WCW President Eric Bischoff doesn’t hold back from giving his honest opinions on the CEO of the wrestling company. Even recently, Bischoff talked about Khan on his podcast. In the same episode, Bischoff said how the promotion requires a big change in the creative department.
Even though Khan has been questioned about his management, Bischoff believes that AEW creative is something he needs to give up as soon as possible. Instead, the 68-year-old wants an ex-WWE star to head the creative department of AEW and lead the company into success.

During a recent episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff talked about Bryan Danielson. He talked about how Danielson has impressed him over the years. Not only does Bischoff like to see the wrestler’s in-ring action, but he likes his creative mind as well. Throwback to 2019, when Eric still worked for WWE; he recalled Vince McMahon praising Danielson enough to consider heavily involving him in WWE’s creative. And now, Bischoff wants Tony Khan to do the same.
He began by criticizing Tony Khan for his creative involvement in AEW, “That’s not Tony’s strength. It’s not. His creative, his booking, has not been, in the history of AEW, creative is not their strong suit. Have they had some great matches? But that’s not the same thing as great creative, is it? It’s just a great match.”
He then further advised, “If I were Tony, I’d give that Collision show to Bryan. Not just be my right-hand man and bounce ideas off. Give it to him. Say, ‘Here you go. Here’s your notepad, here’s your computer, here’s a pen. There’s an office. Call me when you got a show ready.’”
Bischoff believes Danielson isn’t long for the ring. So, planning his retirement for him, he believes AEW would benefit from the wrestler’s creative mind. According to Bischoff, if Khan were to give Bryan Danielson full creative control, it would only benefit his company.

This is not the first time that the Ex-General Manager of Raw has tried to give Tony Khan some tips that he learned as a promoter himself. In another episode of his podcast a while back, Bischoff shared his thoughts on how the 40-year-old businessman needs to take stern actions for his promotion. Even though he didn’t credit Bischoff for the same, Khan ended up taking a bold decision and fired CM Punk due to professional misconduct.
