Man this was great. I love how much respect Tony is giving to these guys and they deserve it. ECW did not have a long life, but they sure as hell made an impact to still be cheered and revered twenty years later.

Tony Khan deserves all the respect in the world…what a great guy, he’s just a fan with a lot of money that’s able to make his and a lot of people’s dreams come true. Thank you Tony and all of AEW!

And all four legends of ecw

What I love about AEW is how they respect, acknowledge and cherish WRESTLING HISTORY, PAST CHAMPIONSHIPS and LEGENDS. AEW treats the whole wrestling universe as canon and they do not live in a bubble. Making this decision can easily start feuds and revisit past storylines, since a feud existed in the past, there is history and the feud doesn't seem shallow. It's like a comic-verse of wrestling where things can be canon and be acknowledged when it makes sense in the story.

😏you know that God is real, that's why you refer to wrestling "Gods", because your instinct (really your spirit) is telling you there's a higher Power. His name is Jesus, and I know for sure that He would love you to make Him a part of your life, because all He wants to do is bless you. Call on Him. Ask Him to be Your Lord and Savior, and I guarantee you He will always be with you, and He will never disappoint. You'll be a champion in life as much as Roman Reigns is the head of the wrestling table. God bless you in Jesus name. I Love you. Hallelujah.
