Tony Khan is a huge fan of Hologram.
Since debuting in AEW, Hologram has quickly established himself as a fan favorite in AEW by picking up impressive wins over the likes of Gringo Loco, The Beast Mortos, and the duo of Tony Nese/Ariya Daivari.
While speaking to Q101 for a new interview, Tony Khan explained that Hologram is a character that he's wanted to bring to life for a long time. Khan also stated that he was originally looking to create the character all the way back in 2020.
“Hologram’s a character I’ve really wanted to see in wrestling for a long time. It was a luchador I had envisioned a long time ago, and honestly, this is the person I wanted to play that role, to be that wrestler. He was a fantastic young talent. I saw him at PWG, and he was 18 years old, and we brought him, when he was a teenager, to Wednesday Night Dynamite, almost five years ago, about four-and-a-half years ago, right after the original Revolution in Chicago. Literally, less than two weeks later, everything was shutting down, it was a crazy time in the world. We had brought him in, I was looking to make him Hologram then, and the world kind of went crazy, and he was locked down in Mexico for a long time. It was a long time before he made it back to America, and then I thought eventually, as things opened up, I really wanted to get Hologram in AEW. It’s been tremendous, it was great having Hologram team with Mistico last Saturday."
Elsewhere in the interview, Khan stated that AEW is on the verge of making the most important deal that they will ever make. Learn more about those comments by clicking here.
