Tony Khan returns to share serious behind-the-scenes details about what it took to keep AEW Dynamite going during the coronavirus pandemic! He talks about the night of the NBA shutdown which directly resulted in AEW live show cancellations, pivoting to no audience shows produced in Jacksonville, and the scramble to tape enough content to cover 5 or 6 additional weeks of TV after strict stay home and social distancing orders were mandated by the government. He reveals which Dynamite ideas were inspired by “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” and “Saved By The Bell,” what impressed him about Colt Cabana and Kip Sabian, why he was excited to celebrate Dustin Rhodes, the origins of the Bubbly Bunch, Chris Jericho’s marathon session with Tony Schiavone at the announce table, the debuts of Matt Hardy and Brodie Lee, and the moment he knew he had to cancel “Blood And Guts.”
