"We don't live in the past" So about that Goldberg title match I just watched

He definitely knows all the right answers to say. No wonder Vince loves this guy.

AEW legit must love this man.

Vince Mcmahon’s accomplishments: -Creating the biggest weekly wrestling shows ever:Raw and Smackdown -Putting his shows on the biggest Networks NBC (USA Network) FOX CBS (TNN/Spike TV,UPN,The CW) -Creating the WWE Network -Creating Wrestlemania -Buying all the Terrotries -The Attitude Era -Bought WCW/ECW -Ruthless Agression Era -Brand Split -Creating a huge list of Mainstream Superstars -The Best at creating Spectacles -Hulkamania -WWE holds the attendance records at many Stadiums like Skydome Stadium Ford Field,Superdome,Orlando Stadium,Saefco Field,State Farm Stadium,Levi’s stadium -1 Billion Dollars Peacock Deal -Going Public in 1999

Business man with good business man answers. He's prints money for them thats all. I think having an interview with the creative team is what we need.

So this is Vince’s Darth Maul 🧐🧐🧐

Nick says “I worked at WrestleMania IX” immediately my brain goes ‘ohhhhh that explains it’🤣

He worked as an usher to get into Wrestlemania because he had no money. And now he is their top executives. Like, wow.

This was an exhibition on how to answer every question correctly. Flawless.

"We don't look to the past." Which is why Goldberg and Cena were in their respective title matches and Lesnar was brought back as Roman's next challenger.

Answers the questions like a Politician. No one got anything out of this interview really. Nothing groundbreaking. He knows what he's doing.

I’m surprised that at the end of the interview that Nick did not say “Oh,by the way,so and so wrestlers are being released.I wish them well in their future endeavours!”.

"People wanna see a local product" Company proceeds to bury every wrestler in their hometowns.

Who’s here after vince retirement

“we live in the present and the future we don’t live in the past” literally goldberg is in a title picture in 2021

After watching this interview, there's no other way to put it...Nick Khan is just an awesome guy and WWE certainly has the right man for the job.

"If something desastruous happens, I'll take the blame" Right after, talking about the cuts : "We're a group of people [...] Ultimately Vince takes the final decision"

I have to be honest. He comes off extremely likeable and personable in this interview

In so many words, we’re gonna sign a bunch of random people and leave the ones that have dedicated their lives to this craft. Ok bet

9:00 After he mentions Vince Mcmahone, Bruce Prichard is the first person he names - ahead of Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon. That sure says alot.

As a 20 year WWE fan, and as someone who has been confused about their recent actions, this interview made lots of sense and explains things. Whether people want to criticize his answers or whatever, I found him having a goal and looking to get better.

Helwani with them dunks though 🧐

He’s too good at answering any question that he should be the spokesman for WWE.

"we live in the present. We live in the future. We don't live in the past" Also: Goldberg just had a match at SummerSlam, had one against Bray Wyatt a few years ago, had one with Undertaker a few years ago, and there was a match a few years ago with HBK and HHH vs Undertaker and Kane

Interesting for WWE to have interviews of this kind.

Man, HHH invites him and his wife to his 50th B-Day party... Only to be overtaken to be next in line to run WWE... How messed up is that!

Well, he's very good at corporate-speak. That's for sure. And for that reason, I believe he's bullshitting his way through this whole interview.

"We live in the present, we live in the future. We don't live in the past". Did this man watch the two heavyweight title matches?

Nick Khan needs to consider moving RAW to NBC Network,The Voice which is their biggest show will only be on NBC for 13 weeks in a year now,only one season per year not 2 seasons,there aren’t any big shows replacing it on monday so they should put RAW on NBC and those 13 weeks back to USA network like FOX does with FS1

"I think both shows are great right now" I don't need the see more 😂😂😂😂😂😂

This guy is an extremely good speaker. The Khan guy I mean.

Things he said and how he represents the company came across very differently to Vince and the traditional WWE mindset

Weird the 2 biggest Wrestling companies in the U.S. have a Khan prominent in them.

There wasn't a single wrong answer in this interview. I believe he would have a good explanation even if wwe fires Roman and Cena.

When he says that the recent releases couldn't move the needle currently or in the future in their opinion he is counting a bray wyatt (windham) and an adam scheer (braun strowman). Remember this.

The fact this guy was a lawyer, and an agent, makes me feel icky

Personaly i'm living in the golden era of the WWF. I buy 80s and 90s merchandise and i watch shows from 1985 to 90s all the time.

He should be a heel character on TV

If WWE is the Bolshevik party and Vince McMahon is Lenin, then Nick Khan is Stalin while Triple H is Trotsky. Like Stalin, Nick Khan is just a guy who works quietly behind the scenes who suddenly got a powerful position since he played his cards right. Meanwhile Triple H is like Trotsky who has a prominent position and thought to be the heir apparent but got shafted because of Nick Khan's rise in power.

Vince was right to hire this guy. He dropped dead weight, brokered the billion dollar fox deal and has made the wwe the most profits it has ever seen.

The biggest heel in the business

Every company looks at the competition, that's why WWE has a 90 day no compete clause for their released talent.

Nick mostly starts his sentence with the word "Listen"

“We live in the present and the future…we don’t live in the past” is a hilarious quote being that they need to bring Goldberg and past stars back to “move the needle” this company is dead and I may never support them again. I heard AEW is great!

im confused what Nick Khan said is quite different with what happened in WWE nowadays

As he basically says Bray Wyatt wasn't a needle mover. Woooooow.

Saturday nights for PPV going forward is a massive plus hope this does happen permanently :)

Kudos to the interviewer this is definitely one of the best interview I have seen recently.

Nick Khan > Tony Khan

Triple H disliked this.

A year later, he's CEO. Goshhh..

I like the fact that this interview was made, I mean nobody should ever be forced to do interviews but I think its good that Nick Khan decided to do so because the image that some people on the net were trying to paint about him was the image of a devil. He came across quite professional I think, partially because of Ariel's questions. Not everybody in the mma world likes Ariel, also because he always asks the hard questions.

Ariel is amazing. Asking the right questions. Great interview!

This guy is a bussinesman, he has no love for professional wrestling.

His answers to these questions sound a lot like how hunter would answer them lol

The real Head of the Table. Acknowledge him!

Wow Ariel Helwani good job obtaining this interview with Nick Khan... Great job ...

The man who is single handedly destroying wwe with those releases

We need Tony khan next then shao khan 😂

16:40 meanwhile there's literal video proof that NXT is watching AEW during live events lol

Some of these comments have aged so poorly. Nick Khan is the better Khan. Legendary businessman.

Tony Khan said Only be a one Khan and he is Tony Khan

Interesting that he's saying "people want a localised product", but on the flip side Prichard puts no stock in this thinking.

Bringing back old guys only because they draw numbers and not developing a single young talent will definitely hurt this company .

Yup, he’s the ultimate yes man and the reason why WWE is beginning to fail. Not now, monetarily, but creatively and the money will follow the product down in time. It’ll be on his hands. This is Jim Herd 2021.

He’s got that perfect Persian diplomacy

I dont know who this man is, but i do now. What a great interview. Thanks Ariel and BT Sport.

First time I see him being interviewed! So this is the right-hand man of Vince McMahon.

Think everyone will start appreciating this guy more now that Vince is gone, big reason for some of the things wwe are able to do

People talking about Bray Wyatt release when they were complaining that after Crown Jewel The Fiend was “buried”. Over analyzing everything and jumping into conclusion so they can “miss” him now that he’s gone. Hypocrites.

He's trolling the IWC... I love him.

4 hour RAW? 8 hour Smackdown? This man is a literal disease to the product. No wonder no likes WWE anymore.

I never want anyone to lose their job but man I hope Tony khan gets at least this guy out of WWE

This man is secretly saving WWE

Plot Twist: Nick Khan is actually Tony Khan's secret uncle and he is infiltrating WWE to make them go out of business.

From a Lawyer to an Agent to the President and CEO of WWE, interesting.

This guy is killing the business single handedly

Hats off to another First Generation American doing big things!

i bet a thousand the crew and host was patted down beforehand

So I’m starting to feel not upset about NXT’s rebrand. WWE does have a ton of Indy talent that they don’t know what to do with. Let Impact, AEW, ROH, and NJPW bolster their rosters and offer something different at better levels. Just don’t give me terrible wrestlers who are there because they got the look and a shred of charisma. Bianca Belair gives me hope for this new approach considering her background.

Pritchard being in charge of creative is like a toddler driving a sports car, a disaster. Ruined my Impact. 😥

Well trained, I suppose. Everything he says is by the book. Obviously some half truths here and there like saying the WWE doesn't pay attention to the competition and never has...They always have and still do. Hell, there's video proof of the producers watching AEW at an NXT event. But he works for WWE so I suppose a lie or two is to be expected. Sounds like he's the perfect stooge to maintain their current trajectory. The quality of the product itself will likely see no improvement. He's not that guy. He also incites some red flags to me as it pertains to his philosophy on acquiring talent. There's not a single thing wrong with pursuing talent outside of wrestling and then building them into WWE superstars. Some of the biggest stars have come from precisely that. They do, however, seem almost entirely dismissive now of Independent wrestling. They were for a while, then sort of opened the door quite a bit to it but still never invested in anyone who came from that system the way they should have, and now they're back to shutting that door again. WWE is just going to do what WWE does and maybe it works for some. Hasn't worked for me in a long time. I guess I'm just grateful now to have passionate pro wrestling back in my life on Wednesdays at 8. Good, succinct interview. But I'll stick with the other Khan.

I want to see Nick Khan in WWE 2K22 so I can beat this guy in the video game with multiple different characters

He sounds like mick foley and the rock combined

14:32 mention that those "Vince Mcmahon" shirts cost $99 each

And now mr. Levesque is rehiring all those jobbers and they’re proving to be inadequate for the company

They don't live in the past yet they feature people 20 years after their prime at the expense of their current talent

...he looks like martin madrazo from GTA v 😂

Vince Russo was wrestling poison 20 years ago. Nick Khan is wrestling poison now.

Ariel is such a good conversationalist. Didn’t know who this guy even was but listened to this whole thing

Solomonster brought me here

Jeez, imagine working for WWE, such a toxic unhealthy business philosophy this man has brought to the WWE

Didn't expect this, but damn, Nick Khan is gold

Nick>>>>>>>>>>Tony

My review from this whole interview is .. He's an intelligent man indeed . No doubt . Business minded . I can see his focus is more on how to increase WWE's stock market . He's focus on merchandise sales . It's all money . Let's not go onto PROFESSIONAL WRESSSTLLING . Because that definitely doesn't fit the mold in WWE anymore . But when we even talk about the ENTERTAINMENT aspect (which is no secret that's the direction WWE wanna be known for for years and years) , it's not even ENTERTAINING anymore . I'd only watch NXT and Smackdown . But Raw is just so terrible and lackluster i had to totally gave up watching . So after this video , the explanation is clear enough . Right now , i could just accept the fact that WWE isn't gonna change nor listen for nobody .

Incredible interview BT Sport and WWE, always love hearing about from behind the scenes WWE executives :)

I can't see the slightest trace of passion in his eyes. He is an ice cold businessman with no devotion to his product. He's the complete opposite of Tony Khan. So, who is more likely to be able to retain fans and wrestlers in the long run?

Amazing interview. Maybe the most important one this year.

What I got from this is basically (screw fans and what anyone wants, I'm here to get make the company and my bosses money, thus solidifying my relationship and getting richer.) And when that's the main focus in the building well it's like he said we the fans are seen as the "life blood" as he said so I guess that makes him the blood sucker.

I’m here to watch the most triggering interview for WWE fans😂
