JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – On this special episode of Going Ringside, we’re joined by All Elite Wrestling owner Tony Khan, who was profiled just this week by NFL Films. The day-in-the-life documentary detailed what it’s like for the man who lives between two worlds: pro wrestling and pro football.
The documentary, which was featured on FS1, highlighted why Khan went viral at this year’s NFL draft for wearing a neck brace because he had been attacked in the wrestling ring the night before.
