Last week, Roman Reigns took some shots at AEW and its roster. The Universal Champion stated that he thinks AEW focuses on a hardcore but small fanbase and doesn’t see them as competition to WWE.
On the latest edition of The Hall of Fame with Booker T & Brad Gilmore, Booker T talked about it.
“I agree with a lot of it, but the one thing I think even WWE, the company that I worked for, needs to keep an eye on, one thing that I’ve always noticed is, there doesn’t have to be a whole lot of people there, but if you see it on television, and it looks like it’s a lot of people there and it looks like that everybody’s having fun, you feel like you missed out on something,” Booker T noted. “You’re like, man, I wished I had been there. Man, that looked awesome.
“That right there is fuel. As long as you got fuel, that’s all you need to keep going. That’s all you need to keep going if you got fuel. You’re a human being, if you got water, if you got some food, you’re good to go. You got a car, you got some water and fuel, you good to go. It can only be 20,000 people, 10,000 people, but if it looks like they are having a whole lot of fun, it’s got fuel to get bigger. That’s the one thing that you cannot discount as far as AEW goes.
“You know what it feels like, it feels like when The New Age Outlaws came out back in the day. The signs, everybody wanting to be a part of the show. In some way, shape, or form, or fashion, they want to be a part of that show, and I noticed when Adam Cole walks out, when he does the ‘boom’ and ‘Adam Cole bay bay,’ you can feel that. No matter what happens after that, that right there is something when you’re watching it and you see it happen, you say, man, that was pretty cool. That right there for me is fuel, and that’s something that you really got to pay attention to.”
