Tony Khan has done more to kill indie wrestling and has damaged more promotions in 5 years of existence than anything before him. Without Tony there was NJPW, TNA, ROH, MLW, CMLL and other promotions, not to mention talent on the indies. Since Tony
>He purchased ROH, tried to spin it off as another show, turned down the CW offer and has stripped it of any aura or history it has with chonks like Athena claiming belts
>He almost ran TNA into the ground by having Kenny and every AEW guy hold their titles hostage while burying the fed as a "feud"
>Stripped NJPW of any past and future talent it had living it a husk that almost unsalvageable. Forbidden Door has become a AEW vs AEW event because of it.
>Stripped MLW for parts and basically killed it off completely.
>Signed every yahoo and dicklet from the indies and made it so there is no way smaller promotions can resign talent between WWE and AEW bidding on them.
Tony has been absolute poison for wrestling. It was legit healthier for everyone before him. The only people benefitting now are mid card acts that get paid like main stars (Ricochet) or top talent that can drive up their price even more by making the companies bid against each other. If you're trying to make a name for yourself you now have no recourse to showcase yourself. You have to hope WWE sees enough in you to give you a spot over their PC center training program OR hope you know someone in AEW to convince Tony to let you wrestle once a month on ROH.
