Booker T discussed the independent wrestling scene and more during his latest Hall Of Fame podcast. Here are the highlights:
On injuries in wrestling:
“It’s not a matter of ‘if’ it’s going to happen, it’s a matter of ‘when’ it’s going to happen. That’s always been the term in wrestling. Just part of what we do, part of the fabric.”
On letting wrestlers work independent dates:
“You only doing TV two days a week, and from what I’ve been hearing, a lot of these guys have been getting lucrative contracts. It should be a huge red flag for Tony Khan and the way he thinks about letting these guys just freelance. If I had a program, and somebody went out and got hurt out on these independent shows and they were under contract to me, that would be a huge problem.”
