Private Party (Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy) reveal a nice story about Tony Khan.
The AEW stars spoke about their boss during a recent edition on Isiah Kassidy’s Youtube Channel. During a conversation the tag team stated that Khan offered to pay for their college tuition as long as they maintained a 3.0 gpa average. However, Kassidy says that college wasn’t really for him so he didn’t end up taking the offer.
Quen: Do you remember when Tony (Khan) asked us if we wanted to go to school? He would cover it. But we had to keep a grade like higher than B, and we just looked at him like…
Kassidy: So quick fact. This is how great of a man Tony Khan is and I don’t think I’ve ever told this story but, he offered to pay for Quen and I’s college if we kept I think a 3.0.
Quen: That’s a B, right? Is it a B?
Kassidy: I think so. But knowing me, I was young and dumb. I’m like, ‘Eh, I don’t wanna do college.’
Quen: I wasn’t. I was just like, ‘Pshhh.’
Kassidy: I already tried college. I tried college and if I didn’t try it, I would have probably tried it at that time but I already tried college and I figured out it wasn’t for me. I’m being honest with you. College is not for everybody… I know it’s a beautiful opportunity that a lot of people wouldn’t have passed on. However, I just thought it was really kind and it was a really dope thing to do by Tony Khan. But, we didn’t take the opportunity.
Marq Quen returned from injury at the beginning of 2024, with Private Party issuing a warning to every tag team on the AEW roster. You can check out Kassidy’s latest Youtube episode below.
