Among others in the business world, Tony Khan has developed a special rivalry with the former WWE employee, Eric Bischoff. Amidst their already heated feud, Bischoff took his criticisms to another level when he learned that Khan wishes to be counted on the same plane as Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon, given his role as the promoter of AEW.
Following this claim, Eric Bischoff sat down in his podcast to talk about why Tony Khan doesn’t deserve to be on the same plane as the other two legends because of certain things that he doesn’t like about him.

On his latest podcast, Wise Choices, Eric Bischoff sat down with the footage of CM Punk‘s real-life feud against Jack Perry that led to the WWE legend’s firing from AEW. After reacting to it live, Bischoff arrived at the topic of the CEO of AEW. Revealing that Khan allegedly wishes to be treated the same as Paul Heyman, the WCW legend had a message for his rival.
Eric Bischoff said, “Tony Khan wishes that he was perceived on the same level as Paul Heyman or Vince McMahon, or h*ll, even Eric Bischoff, back in the 90s. That’s okay too, not a thing wrong with that but work your way up, brother.” He further added, “Don’t come out of the ‘chute, taking swings at guys that have been there and done it.”
Bischoff demands his online foe to not drop in and start taking shots at the men who have been in this business for a long time. This is a callback to the time when Tony Khan called out Ted Bundy for not being able to handle WCW well enough. He further added Vince McMahon and himself into the mix too.
