Matt Hardy revealed that, unlike other promoters, Tony Khan is more than willing to give his employees time off to spend with their families, creating a healthy work-life balance that is unheard of in the wrestling industry.  

“… With Tony, if I’m not on [the] shows, if we have a pay-per-view week and I have something on ‘Dynamite,’ and there’s a lot Friday on ‘Rampage.’ If I’m not on the pay-per-view, he’ll just say, ‘Yeah, go ahead, go home be with your kids, be with your family.’ That’s very important to him,” Hardy revealed. 

“He really considers his employees as human beings, and it’s very important to him that they get to spend as much time with their family, and they actually get to have their own lives outside of AEW.”

Besides giving his wrestlers the luxury of quality family time, Khan has also been generous in allowing his employees to appear at non-AEW events, signings, and wrestling conventions, another trait that Hardy truly appreciates. 

“Also, just the way he allows guys to do like signings, cons, and whatnot,” Hardy added. “You know, autograph appearances, sometimes appearances, even in indie shows, whatever may be. And he’s very generous and very giving and very fair. He just wants what’s best for the human being and the talent.”

Other industry veterans such as Tony Schiavone and Eric Bischoff have referred to Khan as “a great person” and “a good human being,” respectively, after watching the AEW boss from close quarters in the past few years.
