Hi guys, I listened to Tony Khan on Busted Open Radio today and figured I would send this along. I want to stress that these are actual quotes. I went back and transcribed them
He was asked about doing Jon Moxley vs. CM Punk tonight rather than saving it for the PPV. He said:
“It’s a great match for the fans now and I feel like it would be a great match at any time. But tonight, it felt like the right night for this big fight, and given that last week, we really could not keep these guys apart, it just did not seem sustainable to try and have this show get taken down week after week by these guys who were clearly just going to tear the ring apart if we continued this way. So we saw last week we couldn’t even get the show running, Mark Sterling and Tony Nese were coming out for an interview and they couldn’t even get that going. Jon Moxley hijacked the show and CM Punk was out and they were fighting again for the second time in the same night. So these guys wanted to fight and I think tonight on TBS presents a great opportunity for a big fight. Of course, as we approach All Out, the card is going to be massive and we’re going to have a much better idea of what that’s going to look like.”
About CM Punk calling out Hangman Page going off script last week Khan said.
"Well, it's unresolved anger, I think, from the world title match at Double or Nothing, and we had not really tied up all of those issues.CM Punk made one appearance to wrestle after Double or Nothing and then it was immediately after that, that he got injured and was forced to step away. So there was clearly some stuff that never got resolved at Double or Nothing."
