You can tell he was an Agent. Smooth talker. Noticed how he deflected away from that last question about the sale of the company.
this man is super smooth, Stephen A haven't noticed
That was so quick. He really knows how to handle these interviews
An agent? Like in the matrix?
@@shamelessplug06 yes he was agent smith
He's the perfect replacement for Vince McMahon business deals. How is he an agent?
Wrestling is getting great again, I’m so happy to be a fan again. Haven’t felt this good since the Summer of Punk.
Wish punk would come back
@@jessil1821 He should stay away. He's done.
@@christophermarriott1681 I sadly agree.
@@boricua9071he is the reason why wwe sucks, too many midgets doing flips and slapkicks are getting pushed
This aged soooo well
Nick Khan is simply perfect for the role and wouldn’t have anybody else guide me if I was a athlete or performer
Bot comment 🤣🤣🤣
@@suneelj93bot reply
@@yuhanghale157 Nah, nice try.
mean while the other Khan at the other side...
At first i was skeptical about a 2 night wrestlemania event...but now im really buying into it...its really a dope festive thing.
Same
great for people at home. sucks for people that have to now buy 2 tickets for wm to see the whole show
@@varunaX But on the flip side, it gives people two opportunities to at least see some of it.
It was a great interview. Well done to Stephen A and First Take.
WWE gets more air time than the NHL 😂😂😂😂
As it should Hockey is boring and awful 💯💯💯💯
@@KTS365 😂
@@KTS365I want what you’re smoking! 🤣
Shows you how entertaining hockey is
It’s more popular and more entertaining
Super hyped. Only just started watching WWE again in the last year. Makes me feel young again.
Nick Khan is the ultimate sales person. I was so interested in the last question but he dodged it so perfect he had me wondering abt the price of Stephen A’s suit as well…
Nick Khan. The only Khan who knows what they're doing in the wrestling business
@@randyp8849 And what's your point? That's not helping Aew bozo. And Shahid Khan has done business with the Saudis. One percent more research would help you alot. Nick Khan is the competent Khan. Having money doesn't mean you'll be successful 🤣 are you serious?
@@randyp8849 And just so we're clear you are completely clueless about the business of wrestling. You probably care more about the "quality of match" then the overall product.
Glad to be working this Saturday and Sunday for wrestlemania 🔥🗣️
Stephen needs to be a manager in Wwe
General manager
Like coachman
Have him manage Omos
Would be amazing
He would be saying to Riddle, "Stay off the weeeeeddddduhhh"
Nick khan is a legend to us real Wrestling fans.
Nick Khan doesn't care about wrestling fans.
Man the number one benefit of two nights for mania means more opportunities for talent to be showcased.
And more time to let some of the storylines breathe.
I can’t believe that they are actually talking about wwe on ESPN
They've had HHH and Stephanie on the show before so it's not that surprising
Because its Wrestlemania!!.. U may not want to believe it but Mania is just as big as the Super Bowl. I will go as far as to say it might be bigger than the NBA Finals and World Series..
They’ve had multiple wrestlers here, Roman Reigns, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Stephanie McMahon, Ric Flair, Triple H, etc
@@noodlesdagoat8491 if wrestlemania was on cable TV and not on a streaming service, it would definitely pull in 50 million live viewers
@@chuyozuna2398 Facts 💯!.. It most definitely will.
Khan is such a smooth operator. VKM certainly knew what he was doing picking him as his right hand man.
Stephen A is probably going to join the bloodline LOL
Nope. He’s gonna join The Hurt Business
@@bolbiitp7850 🤣🤣🤣 good point
@@Kingmight-vg4fq ngl that would be epic. Having Stephen A on wwe tv would bring them ratings too
Stephen A will mess up his shoulder doing wrestling like he does messing up his shoulder practicing boxing
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A real sport
I remember when so many were so critical of Nick Khan in the pandemic, especially ordering budget cuts. He is so great, that nearly all fans have gotten over it and are more hyped than ever right now!
I think thats being very optimistic. There's still plenty of stuff that can be fixed, and I wouldn't say that he was forgiven as much as he was excused due to the smoothness of transition between powers.
They brought a bunch of the talent back he released
@@pleaseshutup7053 And most if not all have been busts.
@@pleaseshutup7053 none of them are getting over ..the point of their return was for what?
Uncle Nick always killing it
Wrestlemania looks like the Super Bowl!
It is
Tbh it's bigger😂
$14,000 suit is insane 😅
$17K 🤑
Nick Khan is very professional, stays calm. He's perfect for the role of where he's at right now. It's no wonder he's there.
WWE in my hometown. Gonna be there this Sunday. Can't wait! Hyped!!!
Factsss
It'd actually blasphemous that SAS mentioned Goldberg when he was name dropping and not Stone Cold Steve Austin, when it comes to WM
This WrestleMania finna be the BIG ONE 🔥
Combined tickets it surpassed Superbowl tickets.
@@calisfinestdemon1703let’s be real, the Super Bowl was mid
@@steelcitystoner everything is mid
Relevancy definitely went up I’m tuning into wrestle mania after not watching a lick of wrestling in over 7 years
Relevancy? By what? Bring back aging legends and part-timers?
@@christophermarriott1681 shut up smark you know nothing about wrestling or the business side of things
“Let the dust settle” lol Jesus
I think we all knew he was coming back but not that soon LOL
Me and my friends in Northern Ireland will be watching wrestlemania 🙌 it's going to be a brilliant show
Slick Nick
Stephen A is so entertainment guy
0:46 and Paul Orndorff
Leave premium events on Peacock please.
1:12 Hogan slamming Andre is only the companies defining moment if you didn’t know that Andre had been bodyslammed like 20 times before
None of those happened in WWE so it is still the companies defining moment.
That was wwf wrestlemannnia. That Hogan slam andre not wwe and wwe has lot classic moments
the only other guy that slammed Andre was Ronnie Garvin, Just ask Les Thatcher he remembers it
@@NY32986 And canek
The ceo is named khan and their rivals are owned by a khan ...can't make this up lmao
Its a total khan-rage ....
First glance thought it said Tony Khan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but this Mania gotta be better than last two or end the two night thingy . 5 Hours, 12 matches man…
Watching this simply with the hopes of someone coming out of the wings with a steel chair to the back of Stephen A
Yea pat macaphee 😂
Maxwell Jacob Kellerman
So excited for WM 39, the HHH era of WWE since last summer has been absolutely amazing , so many incredible matches and moments, Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns is going to steal the show 👏👏👏👏👏
THIS DIDN'T AGE WELL 😅
Amazing how Khan came in and quickly elevated from President to CEO
The only professional khan in wrestling
He makes tony look like a child with money from his daddy
@@kevinbolds7903 so he makes him look like Tony khan lol
@@the901mc yup lol
For wrestlemania to be a top 7 event globally is crazy
Fr and it kinda just slips under everyone’s radar, if they’re not a fan.
WWE is legit filling up football stadiums
@@Spider-Nalgas filling them up twice
How is that crazy it’s. A billion dollar industry
Take notes, Tony. This is how you execute an excellent interview.
This literally have the potential to be the best Wrestlemania of all time if done right!!..
Tough to accomplish, but it’s possible. For me however, it’s a slim chance, even if you’re comparing to Wrestlemanias after 2000
@@Tomyohann Thats fair.. I believe its a slim chance as well. Thats why i said if they do it right which we all know they probably wont lol. Especially with Vince being back
@@noodlesdagoat8491 he’s not in charge, 🤦♂️
@@noodlesdagoat8491 u realize all the WrestleMania of the past including the one u consider the greatest ever were booked by vince😂😂😂.
@@cephasdaka7279 Lol yea i know but Vince has lost his touch big time bro. Btw, I never said what the greatest Wrestlemania of all time was in my opinion. I said this one has the potential to be the best. To me, Wrestlemania 17 is the greatest Mania of all time. Vince doesnt book shows as great as he use to in the past. The way the card looks tbis weekend, it can be the best Mania yet if DONE RIGHT!!. It has to be done right to be the best which i said it probably wont be
Nice deflection on the sale question…
Never heard him talk before must admit he's pretty smooth hopefully he does good
Great interview. Wrestlemania 🥳🥳
Nick Khan probably needs to stay as president after Vince sells. He has a lot of connections due to his years as a agent.
Is he selling wwe to saudia arabia?
@@Red_dead_Redemption_4_LifeAri Emmanuel
I'm surprised we never seen Khan as an on screen character like Vince or Big Johnny
only time il watch stephen a when he interviews wwe stars and CEOS
*WRESTLEMANIA BROTHER!!!*
My son in Alabama is 14! And nobody loves WWE more than he does. I haven't seen him in over a year, maybe he should take over WWE so I can see him 😅❤
or maybe get a better lawyer to fight for custodial rights?
@@moaziz23 I don't want to live with him, I just would like to see he's ok.
the difference between the two Khans in wrestling is night and day
Listen from a financial standpoint WWE struck gold with Nick Khan I will say that
This man Stephen a load managing 💀
-- "Welcome to WrestleMania!" --
Nick Khan really seems like the perfect guy for the job.
Wth I literally just watched an undisputed clip and Skip said that Nick Khan is his agent 😆
Same dude. Skip saying that Khan actually saved skip from himself a lot of times
I’m actually enjoying WWE
I caught the Royal rumble on peacock, and I’ve been watching ever since. Went to the Barclays center, to watch Raw, a few weeks ago. I stopped watching in 2007, I hope they keep it up!
Love how wrestling is coming back to its prime. Went to wrestlemania in day 2! Stay tuned for my vlog on my channel woooooo!!!
In Khan we trust !
LMAO the shareholders you mean Vince
Big up A
Lately I’ve been thinking here and there that Roman is gonna successfully defend the title against Cody Rhodes now I’m pretty sure of it
Oh boy!!!
I wanna see Stephen A cut a promo on Paul Heyman
I can't believe this dude represented Skip Bayless :D
This Mania is gonna make a lot of non-fans start watching.
Can’t wait for the imminent reaction to this from Jim Cornette and Brian last.
Send them this clip in email
Does anyone know how to watch it for free?
It's literally a few dollars.
FInd it yourself.
Crazy how wrestling's biggest event is so huge now it needs two nights 😮
The hate 2 day event for Wrestlemania
Nick Khan is only the CEO because he is there to facilitate a sale of the company.
Wrong. He came to the company long before a sale was considered. He was the one who negotiatied the billion dollar TV rights back in 2018.
@@chriskay1449 Read carefully. Nick didn't become CEO until Vince stepped down. When he was brought into the company, he wasn't the CEO.
@@FKS1994 But he was here long before that. He wasn't made CEO to sell the company. He was made CEO when Vince was forced out for 6 months. Try again.
@@chriskay1449 Try again, pal. I said he was MADE the CEO to facilitate a sale. When he joined, he wasn't the CEO. Nothing in my comment suggested that when he joined, they only hired him to facilitate a sale even though there are rumors that his contract stated he would receive a large payout if WWE gets sold. You are having difficulty reading or comprehending what is written.
Is there a chance Nick Khan competes on Dancing with the Stars?
First time hearing this guy talk
We just waiting for WM 50 they better have a unforgettable main event
He just pushed SAS with 17k suit, and SAS didnt push the question about WWE being for sale for 9 billion
bro swerved the buying wwe question to man's suit outrageous
These hate comments 😂
Tony Khans dad respect
The khans came out of nowhere lol
😂😂
Tony vs nick. The battle of khan.
I’ve been telling you people that John Cena was the guy before Roman acknowledge the goat john Cena 🔥
😆 at ESPN covering Sports Entertainment... 😵 😵
First time seeing his face
With him and hhh at the helm. WWE is going good
Did you not hear the part they are selling
They have been doing good for 40 years with Vince wat u talking about
@@deon3133not from a ratings standpoint
@@Shawn.Mathew lmao its so bad raw has over 1500 episodes. And still counting. If ratings was so bad they wouldn't got a new tv deal
@@deon3133 from a monetary standpoint it’s never been better due to the Saudi deal and having 2 night wrestle mania events and other corporate deals etc, but from a ratings standpoint it has been on a downward trend since the Benoit murder, then going pg was the next nail in the coffin, then pushing cm punk and Daniel Bryan made it the pathetic state that it is today, fox isn’t gonna renew the smack down deal from what I’m hearing Vince probably saw the writing on the wall and knew deep down pro wrestling is dead so he sold it to endeavor while wwe is valued so high
This man believed in Tiple H's creative vision and helped bring Pro-Wrestling to new heights.
Still waiting for Nick vs Tony, the battle of Khans
All Hail Your Tribal Chief!!!! ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽
Thought SAS was on vacation
Where Vince?
Somewhere ducking lawsuits
Nice to see the comment section embracing WWE getting coverage on espn. I remember when they first started all I’d see is people bitching it’s not a real sport.
Khan knows Money 💰..He knows Stephen A Talent ed
Espn gasping for air😂😂😂😂
What?
Let's promote the DISNEY ON ICE tour as well.😂😂😂
Iron man saved us from Thanos last week.
Wanda almost destroyed reality.
introducing the GATEKEEPERS
Looks and sounds like Shane
Cm punk. That is the comment
I've always thought of wrestling as a soap opera for men. You watch the story and they leave you hanging for what will happen next week so you have to tune in.
Peoplec complain about eras past, but times change, different eras, different attitudes, and while it may not comapre in certaia areas, it'll always be fun to watch and new superstars will come along that you'll love as much as one's past.
Long live wrestling!!!!
Shame on ESPN for glossing over Vince McMahons conduct. Shame.
Saint Old Nick
This Nick Khan guy. Lol.
