Tony Khan received a gift thats sure to stand out in his collection. During the AEW Collision tapings, Santa Claus himself presented Khan with a DVD of Jean-Claude Van Dammes cult classic Timecop.
This moment unfolded as part of the Collision tapings, where Khan has been known to reference Timecop during the extended recording sessions for AEW Rampage or ROH on HonorClub episodes. Fans familiar with Khans unique sense of humor might have noticed the connection, as he often jokingly alludes to the 1994 sci-fi action film when discussing AEW or ROH matches taped after Collision or Dynamite.
Khans fascination with Timecop isnt new. Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, he shared his enthusiasm for the film and how it connects to the wrestling world. I would love to do that. Thats definitely in our future. Weve revitalized the popularity of a classic film. Timecop is not just a cult classic; its also the biggest commercial success of Jean-Claude Van Dammes career. The only $100 million movie he ever did, and for good reason. Its an excellent film, and it applies sometimes to the world of wrestling when most of the shows are live, but sometimes you tape them, and youre in two places at once.
While theres no word on whether this gift will inspire any future AEW gimmick matches, the idea of a Timecop match isnt entirely off the table. Knowing Khans enthusiasm for blending wrestling with pop culture, its not hard to imagine this becoming a reality in AEWs creative landscape.
