While multiple pro wrestling halls of fame have been established to recognize past performers, AEW hasn’t created its own despite some fans feeling they should. However, never say never as during an interview with ComicBook.com, Tony Khan revealed that if AEW were to have one, Sting and Mr. Brodie Lee would be the first two talents that come to mind to be inducted. Additionally, he would note that Jay Briscoe deserves to be honored despite never having competed in an AEW ring.
“If we ever do an AEW Hall of Fame, certainly the first two people that come to mind that we would have to honor would be Sting and Mr. Brodie Lee. Two of the greatest champions and two of the greatest people we’ve ever had in AEW, and in very different circumstances. Sting and Mr. Brodie Lee would be great people to build any Hall of Fame class around.”
Tony Khan“Somebody that never got to wrestle in AEW that I also feel very strongly about, who needs to be talked about and honored, is Jay Briscoe. I always wanted to bring Jay into AEW. He was my friend and was friends with a lot of people in the locker room. He was one of the greatest wrestlers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and producing for. Jay Briscoe is somebody else who is very important to all of us even though he never actually got the chance to wrestle in AEW.”
Tony KhanArguably, the most significant Hall of Fame at present is WWE’s, although, over the years, it has been criticized for some glaring omissions and inducting people based on Vince McMahon’s personal opinion rather than significance to the business. Therefore, it would be fascinating to see AEW introduce an alternative, although considering the promotion is still only five years old, it might be too soon to implement.
