Appearing in front of the crowd at the Hammerstein Ballroom
yesterday at Dynamite tapings, AEW President Tony Khan
teased bringing a pay-per-view to the city.
After fans started an “MSG” chant, Khan revealed that the
original idea for the first episode of Dynamite was supposed
to be held at Madison Square Garden.
Khan said MSG officials agreed on a date and offered him to
tape the first Dynamite show from the world’s most famous
arena, noting that the same people who did that no longer
work for The Garden anymore.
“They called me a couple of months later and they said, ‘We
don’t want you anymore. We don’t want you to do the first
Dynamite here. Because it would really upset somebody,'”
Khan said, referring to WWE.
Fans inside the Hammerstein started a “f*ck the fed” chant
with Khan standing at the top of the entrance.
While AEW has run some events in the state of New York, none
of their pay-per-views have been ever held in New York City.
