Tony Khan recently made an appearance on Busted Open Radio for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During his appearance on the popular SIRIUS-XM program, the AEW and ROH President spoke about Chris Jericho introducing him to Dr. Martha Hart -- the widow of the late, great Owen Hart.
The boss-man of All Elite Wrestling and Ring Of Honor then spoke about the launch of the ongoing first-annual Owen Hart Foundation Tournament as part of the partnership with Martha's organization in Owen's name.
Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
“I do have to give a lot of credit to Chris Jericho because it was his relationship that he had built with Martha Hart, and the respect that Chris Jericho had built with Dr. Martha Hart, that really put me in a good position to where he introduced me to her.
"I spent many, many hours on Zoom with Martha. We’ve built this relationship and built trust. It’s helped us build this partnership with the Owen Hart Foundation led by Dr. Martha Hart. Now we’re having these great matches in this great tournament.
“It’s just so special to have Dr. Martha Hart participating in the tournament as a spectator. It’s great to have her there with her family.”
