AEW Honors Taz’s 2300 Arena Hall of Fame Induction Off TV at His Request

Tony Khan redirected the tribute to a short live video on X to keep Dynamite’s airtime focused on active wrestlers.

Overview

  • About an hour before Dynamite, Khan went live with Taz on X from Philadelphia for an eight-minute tribute.
  • The Dynamite broadcast briefly showed a newly raised banner in the 2300 Arena as Taz acknowledged the honor.
  • Taz told fans he did not want television time because current in-ring talent should be featured and he has been retired for years.
  • AEW had initially slated the ceremony for the Aug. 30 Collision before moving it to the Sept. 3 Dynamite stop in Philadelphia.
  • Clips of the banner reveal and ceremony moments were posted online by third-party accounts after the show.
