During the latest edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T commented on CM Punk’s injury and the recent string of injuries to several top stars in All Elite Wrestling.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On CM Punk’s recent injury and AEW’s current injury situation with top stars like Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole also being sidelined: “I was talking to Paul Heyman about that. He was talking about how CM Punk did the crowd dive and banged his foot on the barrier. I really don’t know how the injury happened. Well I mean, you got Punk down, you got Kenny Omega down, you got [Bryan] Danielson down. I think Scorpio Sky they said he just pulled something, Jeff Hardy, you know what I mean. Well, I’m gonna tell you man, it’s not gonna get any easier over there, okay? The way the matches are set up and designed, it’s gonna be a lot of casualties as far as guys getting hurt until they could pull that back a little bit.”
On the impact of the recent string of injuries in AEW: “You remember how I talked about once you start doing something, you can’t stop doing it? You’ve gotta keep doing it because that’s what the fans want to see. When a promoter books you, he book you for that one reason – jump off something. So from this point forward, they gonna have to figure out how to go out and perform and work and get through a 365-day schedule. Because it don’t stop. It really don’t stop and right now, they got three of their major players down.”
