Leap Academy with Ilana Golan
Tony Khan: Building AEW into a Billion-Dollar Brand and Competing with Wrestling Giants | E106

And to do 104 TV shows plus nine pay-per-views, a handful of other major live events, it's a lot. So over 110 wrestling events a year, plus I'm at all the Jaguars games. Unless there's some major conflict, you can count on one hand all the games I've missed in 13 years at the Jaguars. I come over as much as I can to Fulham and... Yeah, it's a lot.

The travel is a big piece of it, but just really staying on top of everything is a lot of fun. You know, as a sports fan, a wrestling fan, a football fan, it's easy in that sense.

Yeah, because that's what I would be doing anyway. So there's a lot to it, but that's basically what it is, Alana, is it doesn't because I love it.

Well, I'm very fortunate. I think I was born on third base and I've stolen home several times to where I've scored a lot of runs where I was able to take advantage. So I've stolen home at least seven or eight times now. Thankfully, I was put in the game at a very advantageous position, but then I've been able to make the most of the opportunities I've been given every time.

And I think that's the best advice I can give is make the most of the opportunities you're given. I was dealt a really good hand and then played it really well time after time after time. And I think even if you're not dealt the best hand, hopefully you'll be able to find a way to make the most of the hand you are dealt and get a better hand and work with it.

So I can't give advice that applies to everybody because my situation is very, very unique. And I realized that a lot of the advice I'm giving probably doesn't apply to 99.999% of people.

If you do find yourself with an opening though, especially if there's a way to do it without totally unethically shanking someone in the back or doing something I don't want to do, then, you know, it's always great if you can find a way to take that opportunity and make the most of it.

I wouldn't change anything. I'd be afraid of changing a single thing. I don't want to butterfly and affect myself and not sit on that plane next to Bernie, not run into Kevin that night. So I wouldn't change a thing. I wouldn't want to mess with the past. So I have no advice for my younger self. Remember to steal your dad's keys like Bill and Ted.
