>>14789443In a recent interview, AEW President Tony Khan delved into the ongoing feud between Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland, painting a picture akin to the intricate narratives seen in the hit TV series "The Sopranos". Khan's comparison shed light on the complexity of the storyline, yet he hinted at skepticism about its potential payoff.
Speaking with wrestling media, Khan didn't hold back in his description, channeling a flair reminiscent of a certain Russian from "The Sopranos". "This feud, it's like watching the Russian getting lost in the woods," Khan began, referencing a notorious subplot from the show. "You're invested, you're intrigued, but at some point, you wonder if it'll ever lead to anything."
The comparison is fitting considering the slow-burn nature of the Lee vs Strickland saga. Both wrestlers have been engaged in a back-and-forth battle, with personal animosities brewing beneath the surface. Khan highlighted the psychological depth of the storyline, likening it to the mind games played by Tony Soprano and his associates.
"You've got Lee, this powerhouse with a chip on his shoulder, and Strickland, the smooth-talking, strategic mastermind," Khan explained. "It's like Tony and Christopher - one's the muscle, the other's the brains, but there's always tension between them."
