In this interview Tony Khan says free agency has made wrestling better: "The amount of interest in professional wrestling in major media is the highest it's been in over 20 years. Last week was the first time two different wrestling companies have had two shows in the top 5. It's an exciting time. There is real competition. Free agency is definitely bringing new fans in, which was part of my business plan with AEW. The free agent cycle really hadn't existed in a meaningful way in professional wrestling in two decades. It would help lift the sport and lift interest in wrestling and bring fans back. We're starting to see that and we'll continue to see that through the summer and the rest of the year."
