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."
