• Booker T Says AEW Could Be Closed Down In A Couple Of Years

On the newest episode of his weekly ‘Hall of Fame’ podcast, Old School WCW/WWF Legend Booker T talked about the state of Tony Khan’s All Elite Wrestling, especially after the infamous AEW All Out 2022 backstage brawl.

Here’s what the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer had to say:

“When you’re performing on my show, it’s a script. And when you go out there and just do, perform, you know, that’s where things get hectic.

That company could be closed down in a couple of years, and these guys are going to be wondering what the hell happened. And it’s because they’re going out there and playing games, not understanding what this stuff is really about.

They’re working their butts off. They’re bumping like crazy. Those guys are taking some of the craziest bumps you’ve ever seen, but they do it. If everybody can figure that out, I’m sure The Young Bucks’ bank account looks pretty well. So if you can figure that out, you’re okay.”

Booker T wrestled for Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling from 1993 until the company was bought by Vince McMahon in March 2001, and jumped ship right away, coming into the World Wrestling Federation as the reigning WCW World Heavyweight Champion a few months later.

He wrestled for the WWF (renamed WWE in May 2002) until 2007 and then joined Dixie Carter’s Total Nonstop Action! (TNA) till late 2009 and eventually returned to WWE in 2011 as a part-time wrestler and color commentator, among other non-wrestling roles.
