- Join Two-Time WWE Hall of Famer and six-time World Champion Booker and "The BOAT" Brad Gilmore for the most compelling and entertaining conversations about the world of sports entertainment and beyond.
Recorded at South Texas Jungle Room studios.
I was front of the line to meet Jericho at a convention and Booker walked past heading backstage. Famous people will usually look straight ahead to avoid interactions so they don't get caught up by every single fan they pass. For some reason Booker looked at me and I nodded. He nodded back. It was the tiniest moment between two people but I really respected he didn't just cruise past, and it means a lot he chose to acknowledge me when he could have pretended not to see.
Heard a lot of similar stories about him going out of his way to interact with fans, even that simple gesture of acknowledgement shows how classy he is, especially a star of his calibre
Booker has always been big on respect. So by nodding to him, you showed respect and by nodding back he showed that he acknowledged it.
Tony Khan out there puttin some RESPECT on his name! 👏👏 even though he defends AEW all the time from critics almost to a fault, I think we all know that Tony Khan would treat Booker T like royalty in AEW, whether he was in the ring showing everyone that Sting is not the only one who's still got it or if he was backstage helping Tony Khan improve the quality of the shows via his own experience. The talent especially would benefit from it. Hearing all that admiration and respect for Booker T from Tony Khan, a businessmen who's also a super fan of pro wrestling and a student of the game, is a great time for fans like me! 😎👍
It would be cool to see him on AEW, even as a 1 off Dynamite, as a representative for some handpicked talent by Booker against AEW talent & have him do a little commentary & introduce his wrestlers & explain why he chose the wrestlers, he did, to face the spefic AEW star, just let Booker be Booker & let him run the show a bit for the night.
@@Grandpa_Grinch especially since he runs his own indie promotion (ROW) I think that could be really cool actually
🤔
Respect for kissing ass? Lmao
Sting infact no longer has it. Booker T might though.
Khan is a fan, I don't agree with him business wise and other things, he is a fan. But FTR said first, "guys like Booker T and others, earned the right to give their opinion in this business and people need to respect that and respect them".
Booker T is too professional to show up on an outlaw indie promotion.
a billionaire fan with his father's fortune,so theres that.
@@toddpace4588 yeah, no. It's not really an Indy promotion.
@@nickdogg7320
Its run like an indie promotion
@@toddpace4588 Indie promotions are not on tv
Booker only talks about AEW from a show perspective. Anyone who takes it personally, that's their problem.
Shut up
Thin skinned, narrow minded people like Tony Khan will always have this problem.
@@Intheknow12 Vince McMahon is so self centered and doesn’t think about anyone except for himself hence those releases that occurred from 2020-2022 but wanna complain that they’re are barely any stars but you have constant rematches between The Beast Incarnate and Tribal Chief or unwanted returns of former WCW legends.
@@tehjboney4249 what does Vince have to do with this?
I love book but he definitely looks at it with an I am paid by WWE perspective lol
Booker T is highly respected...never heard about him doing or intentionally saying anything hurtful to anyone. His honesty and energy is always great.
Yeah
Yea he never called hulk the N word or anything
@@MediCali951 maybe you should be more concern with hulk calling people the n word.. you know something that didn't happen over 20 years ago
Random
@@claycowartisamazing how is that random when Tony Khan and FTR are stating how Booker has earned the right to say whatever... Which mean he is highly respected.
Booker T to wrestling is what Busta Rhymes is to hip-hop🏆
Booker T, Chris Benoit, and Taz were my favorite wrestler's as a kid because they were "purebred pro wrestlers to the core". The first I saw Booker T was against the Ultimo Dragon on WCW Worldwide. I automatically fell in love with the dude when he did that scissor kick. One of thee coolest moves I've ever seen in my life.
Heard taz was bitch 😂
Booker is wcw/wwe legend he can say w.e he wants publicly
BOOKER T, you are one of a kind and just a class act all around. You were always one of my brother and I FAVORITES and we felt you never got enough air time. Love having you on this format because now we can see you OFTEN!! Street smarts and talent are great, but WISDOM comes from experience as well as the mind and body being in unison. That part is crucial, because that is the only way experience can be conveyed as genuine and sincere.
BOOKER, you are one WISE GENTLEMAN!!
You keep sharing and we’ll keep learning. And that’s THE FINAL WORD.
Booker, you that dude in the business my guy✊🏾. Keep up the great work!
@M M 🤷 idk, still trying to figure that out😁. I’d advise you to stop looking for 11 year olds though!
Booker T was ready to fight taking that durag off
Love Booker! Much respect to this legend and King
Wow I was expecting Tony to make an ass of himself there, that was a good look. Need more of that Tony.
I didn't know what Tony Khan was going to say about Booker t but that was really really nice hopefully Booker t's reality of wrestling and aew could work together a partnership or something.
TK really is a hardcore wrestling fan. The first time I ever watched Booker T was with Stevie Ray as Harlem Heat and Sherri as their manager in WCW. Didn't know anything before that unfortunately.
You mean you missed him as GI Bro
I remember global wrestling but I only saw a little honestly. It wasn't always in the channels I had at the time. So it was kinda hard to find depends on your area
@@JuniorRodriguez-nk6rq he brought that back recently no?
@@rudebwoytroy yea he did lol
Wow, respect to Tony for saying that.
I absolutely respect Booker T and I also like Tony Khan and I wish him nothing but the best.
Tony is a nutcase little mark.
Tony Khan definitely helped the Wrestling business. Gotta respect him for that. Thank You Tony Khan. Booker T is the Best. I love his radio show. It's fun to listen too
Booker T is one of my favorite pro wrestlers of all time
“Don’t hate the playa, hate the game”.
Respect to Tony khan .. above all he’s a wrestling fan at heart and as much as OTHER wrestling fans like Tony, like to talk shit about him! If any of us were in his shoes, we would probably be doing the same thing 👌
But a lot of us wouldn't be align ourselves with the bucks or kenny omega and grant them the position of EVP like they are some kind of expert which they arent
True I’d rather have someone like jr or arn Anderson or tully Blanchard they should listen to those guys also I wouldn’t have made sting look weak in his first appearance
@@jimbowlan5804 wait how was Sting made to look weak in his first appearance?
Ppl hate on Tony cuz hes young and successful
Literally nobody cares about the fact that he’s successful. Don’t make stuff up.
@M M lol speak for yourself…the man is being himself. You gotta respect it. He is not trying to be someone he is not
@M M I guess.
@@Ma-kf3fg Thismisnt the type of thing people are aware. Its more subconscious and its definitely true.
@M M I think he is very likable, agree or disagree w him. Sure he is a bit of a spazz, but its just enthusiasm.
Booker T should check out the Forbidden Door.
Tony Kahn actually looks good when he’s not all happy so lucky. 😂🤣😂
The most aggravating thing about AEW is there is some good talent there and Khan is willing to listen and learn. They just need to streamline their storylines and character development.
Punk getting hurt really messed up their overall plans
@@billsinthehouse
People easily forget that. AEW is held to such a different standard online.
@@billsinthehouse AEW was stagnant before Punk got hurt. Him winning the title didn't increase their ratings or viewership.
@@rleonardgreen78 their viewership is always the same based on that old Nielsen ish
@@billsinthehouse so what are you saying exactly? Even AEWs web traffic is down tremendously. The product is on the decline and the product is stagnant. That's just the reality. No interesting stories, no hot feuds, no can't miss talent. If Impact could get a big money backing and better tv slot, they would overtake AEW because it's a much better booked product. Khan isn't a good booker, he has no original or innovative ideas. He needs to hire a booker to breathe life back into his product.
Remember when the marks were in the audience? Now they own the company!

Theirs a great philosophical question that has been pondered by every great mind from Socrates to Albert Einstein
And that question is
CAN YOU DIG IT
SUCKAAAAA
tony gets respeck for this one
Alot of aew wrestling fans don't like it when people critics aew, that's why they don't like konnan and Jim Cornette podcasts
Cornette is corny
@@sethrollins3940 go away Seth 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣burn it down
I hate it when people critics me
There is just not enough floor-routine choreographed gymnastics outside of AEW, performed by TINY…so can you blame them??
…TINY individuals that would be used to wipe down the bathroom stall floors by 85-90% of ANY decent weightlifting gym.
But boy-oh-boy can they ever prance around for their fans!!
I’m a lot like Booker when it comes to AEW. I have never disrespected them or said anything disrespectful. The reason I don’t watch AEW is because the product couldn’t get me emotionally invested and most importantly their fan base is truly toxic. Everything Vince did was wrong but, everything Tony does is right. Cult like behavior at its finest.
To be fair there is toxic on both sides
@@josiah1218 true
That certainly goes both ways. When there are Marx to be had... Marx will mark tf out. That goes with anything. From Coke to Pepsi... Apple to Microsoft. Nerds dweeb out, which may come off as toxic. Can't you simply like all of it??? The way I see it, more wrestling is a good problem to have.
aew is about team fights its what it does best but you should watch adam cole vs orange cassidy
Will see how much hardcore fans hate on hhh and steph
I can see Book & Khan doing some great business in the near future
I think Booker T resigned as WWE legend recently, so not in the near future
The old school wrestling give Constrictive witch it’s not a bad thing the new generation should learn from it
Booker T. In my opinion… is one of the best black wrestler to ever step in the ring and that’s just my opinion
🙏🙏
God, Tony can talk...
I thought that was a Jonas brother interviewing Booker?
TK is really a Hardcore Wrestling fan huh?
He is.
Booker T in my opinion was the best As a Heel!! 👑
Booker T can say whatever the hell he wants...he has earned every bit of it!! Now can you Dig that????? SUCKAAAAA!!
Booker T disrespected me. He called me a n*gga.
U EARN EVERYTHING I WATCH GWF WHEN U WAS THEIR, U WAS MY FAVORITE WRESTLER THEN U MY FAVORITE WRESTLER NOW. LOVE TO SEE HARLEM HEAT GO OUT BEING UNDERSPRITED TAG TEAM CHAMP. DO IT FOR THE LATE SISTER SHERLY!!! MADD LUV BOOKER T.
Booker only gives constructive criticism and never comes from a place of hate. People like to give Booker a bad rap but he just speaks his opinion on wrestling.
You dont have to agree with Tony but I think its close to impossible to dislike the guy
I dislike the guy.
@@christopherchuauhang4829 most likely you're just petty, what did he do to you? Or do you get the man and his company confused with each other? My point is I think the dude carries himself very well and seems really respectable..what's not to like? Did he hurt you? Or is it because he runs a company that isn't wwe? I don't like njpw but I don't dislike their promoter lol tf?
@@shredda3165 I don’t owe you an explanation. Lol I just dislike the guy. He comes off as someone I’d never trust. The way he treated Cody and MJF for example. I don’t hate him I just dislike the way he does things. Also, didn’t he say his haters are paid drones? Lmao that was the dumbest shit I’ve heard all year.
@@christopherchuauhang4829 maybe thats what he believes idk, I guess he has as much right to believe that as you do to dislike him...I haven't heard Cody complain about Tony I heard Cody say he respected him and he had a great time working for tony but guess they had difference in direction and he had "unfinished business" in wwe anyways which im pretty sure he wants to fill his dads boots and get that title...and mjf did have a problem with tony as far as i know with pay but when you get into contracts and stuff those are very thin lines...but it can't be that bad since they worked together to turn it into an angle I guess there was enough respect their between the 2 to work that out wether its more money or a giant pay off push idk but something was worked out...we all have opinions I guess..there's plenty of things in that company that I don't like how they're being run i believe tony has too much control over creative i think hes trying to overfill his plate by dipping his hands in every aspect and should regulate some responsibility to vetrans of the business..I just believe that Tony really believes he's working in best interest of his company, wether it is the best interest or not is yet another matter of opinion but I do respect him because I think he truly believes he is, thats all i just respect it and no you didn't owe me any explanation, just curious as to where others opinions come from thats all
@@christopherchuauhang4829 MJF is unreasonable and you have no idea what happened w Cody.
Respect for TK… but he can sure talk A LOT.
Very well said .
Still hasn’t spoken on Vince McMahon…..
Just look at him.
How come you’ve never had any constructive criticism towards WWE? A promotion that hasn’t been any good for decades, with an owner that spit on the fans, made us feel embarrassed to be that, banned terms like wrestling and wrestler. And let’s face facts, only made money recently because of selling his library to Peacock for $8,000,000, 000.00, and the Saudi Arabia tours. I know the reason, because you, Eric Bichoff and Jim Cornette are all WWE guys, you won’t point out the obvious in why we are seeing Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns for the 150th time, Hell you were even commentating on WWE TV. I mean Booker, who destroyed NXT so badly that they moved to a different day, who was that.🤔 I’m tired of the praise for WWE, it’s a horrible product, I only hope Triple H can save it and make it worth watching again. I’ll take an actual wrestling product like AEW any day, over a product that made me feel ashamed to be a wrestling fan.
Lol agreed 💯 percent. Lol like the WWE is perfect…when it comes to AEW everyone has a herds mentality they will bash it even when the product is good.
LOL Booker T called AEW "Gay" AEW 3:23
Booker is a WWE guy and always will be...even when he tries to remain neutral on AEW it comes off as minor slight or shade bc he is so loyal to wwe....it is what it is...
Shut up mark
I'd like to see Serena deeb and Charlotte put on a classic
That’s kinda of hypocritical from Tony khan he listens to Booker but not listening to Eric Bischoff
Tony Khan has to be the most unlikeable person
Nobody rushed home to watch CWF……..lol
But it's clearly Tony Khan doesn't care about women's wrestling. He only does one woman's match on a show
Mercedes hasn’t brought anything to AEW
RESPECT…
You know it's hard to rip on tony Kahn . Because you know he's a old school wrestling fan. A lot of people will bash him but he also seems like such a. Cool guy
I'm an AEW fan and I don't have any problem with criticism if it's something AEW needs to improve. When Booker says CM Punk didn't make a special moment in AEW I don't have a clue what he is talking about. That AEW debut he made was probably the biggest most memorable moment in AEW ever. I've seen ppl who aren't AEW fans praise that moment. I don't understand what Booker means by that still. I been a Booker T fan as long as I have been a wrestling fan too.
Also his died with mjf was the best in the past decade
I was shocked when punk came back if I knew he was I would have seen it live I think it’s a great moment in wrestling but for Booker T I guess he wanted punk to talk more about AEW / winning the big gold and I’m just guessing but I think he did not want punk to say any thing about wwe
Booker didn't like any shade being thrown wwe's way but in punk and the fans eyes, it was justified and did get huge pops.
BOOKER T is a legend of professional wrestling.
While Tony Khan is the dork dweeb nobody "son of billionaire" Money Mark who is certainly NOT a serious person.
Khan is a fan he also doing a good job for aew now it's the future it got me feelings the way I did when I was a kid watching WWF so yes he doing a good job people just mad because a different business is out doing wwe
Damn rumors aren't rumors. It's true. CM Punk is dislike by a high percentage of pro wrestlers and that's not good at all...🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
That's the epitome of being a long time employee at Walmart and being disliked by 80% of your coworkers; all because of a certain bad taste your personality spreads onto people around you...
And this explains Jim Cornettes question about August 10, 2022 AEW Dynamite main event. CM Punk returned from injury to save Moxley from being jumped by Chris Jericho and his new posse, and Moxley was making weird unprofessional faces at Punk without looking, but he new Punk was there. And flicked him off and walked away to ruin the build up for them 2. The crowd was louder for Punk than Moxley and Mox got butthurt over it...
It all makes sense after hearing Booker confirm his dislike for Punk. But yet Booker stays mature and professional about it. Respect 🙏🏾 🤲🏾 🙌🏾 🔥🔥💯
Yes MERCEDES!
Shockmaster made you give up at wargames
Soy un Rey, Campeon, Booker t
I don’t mind the criticism. The bad thing here is booker still a payed talent by wwe. So n some AEW fans mind they think wwe is paying booker to talk shit about AEW.
booker T is a typical wwe employee. criticizes everything non wwe and then denies being a hater
Booker T does talk some nonsense & sucked up to Vince McMahon the last year or so,that Jon Moxley comment was ridiculous
Lol agreed
Tony kahn trying to be Eric bischoff
THAT A FACT BOOKET T NATHAN JACKSON WINSTON-SALEM NC
Booker trying his hardest not to bust up laughing at the Tony Khan clip.
Aside from the Dancers being trained the same to get into the ring, what killed wrestling was Oversaturation, wrestling should be on once a week maybe twice hour shows, and too many youtube baby fans all wanting to talk and too many out of work broken down good wrestlers willing to spill their guts and talk. if they were really that smart, they would have started a successful company
Tony Kahn takes a little too much ADD medicine. Jeez
Or something else cause he always looks like he's so wired because of something he took(not to say what everyone else is implying)
Booker went from “let’s see what this sucka has to say” to “ohh damn he got me blushing” really quick haha.
Tony kahn is a weirdo
Tony Kahn just needs fall back and do the show
Problem is Tony Khan signs too many ex wwe talents overshadows the NJPW and not seen talents. I see the big stars is Kenny Omega , Moxley , and MJF. Jade Cargil is probably their best women wrestler and tag team the acclaimed, He has a core there but it seems he strays off the path and tries to do too much. The other issue I have with him is his tweet on being the longest ceo im sorry just because you had one good PPV last year doesnt make you a long running ceo. Like Booker said he does a good job in keeping ppl employed
How many times in one day does Khan change out his knee pads?
He doesn't take them off. His mom says he showers in them.
Not nearly as often as Booker.
No comment!!
Someone needs a book end
Take a breath Tony..Jesus christ
My problem with Booker T it's always criticism with AEW don't sound like constructive to me.
Rarely do I hear anything positive out his mouth about AEW. I don't think I ever heard anything positive maybe I missed it. Can anyone post anything positive Booker T has said about AEW.
Search through out videos. I’d bet you can find 50-100 articles :)
Named Brit Baker his 2021 female of the year and CM punks return best moment of the year... Websites just like to pick out negative stuff 😂
@@RealityOfWrestling I stand corrected then I will search.
I don't agree with everything that tony khan does when it comes to aew but I respect what he has done for the wrestling industry. At the end of the day he is a old school wrestling fan. Booker T probably appreciate tk showing him the respect he deserves
Booker T has been over and successful in every single company he's worked for. Now he runs a wrestling school putting out quality talent. AEW turds hate him because he critiques AEW, but everything he says is true.
Booker should Book for AEW
No
Aew should sign Booker T and make him champion.
With AEW becoming like a really cool Sunday Night Heat and Triple H taking over WWE , wrestling could be on the verge of an explosion
Tony Khan is still immature. He hasn't handled criticism of AEW very well at all. He's the same guy who blamed anti-AEW comments on social media on a conspiracy of bots hired by WWE. He can't wrap his head around the fact that every wrestling fan isn't buying what he's selling - only a small portion of them are. I like watching movies or TV shows made by people who know what they're doing - not fans.
Tony means well where I differ on him is he put the wrong people in Bo position also what he did with sting when he first showed up in aew is unforgivable
He's right about the bots tho

There’s nothing more ridiculous that one fan calling another fan a “mark.” Unless you’re a wrestler or promoter - you’re on the same level as anyone else. Tony, at least, is IN the industry. Not just watching it and bitching online.

I was a fan of Booker T in WCW but all that went away when he joined the WWE/WWF and became an eye bucking Clown including getting buried by the big noise son in law 🤦🤦🤦
Tony is really good at putting people over with his words but overall any criticism AEW has gotten over the past three years has not been taken seriously. His product has suffered tremendously and it hurts because he has a lot of talented guys but has no direction. Maybe he should invest in some real wrestling bookers instead of his indie EVPs 🤷
Because Tony can't handle it. He cries like a baby every time he gets criticized.
@@chriskay1449 agreed. He cant see the difference between when someone wants to help and when someone is shitting on him, they are all the same in his eyes. But I can't help but feel if didn't surround himself with crybabies, like the Bucks, he may have a different outlook on things.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 how has his products suffered tremendously??? Yea lol we don’t AEW being like the WWE
@@mackdaddy2153 considering their ratings are nowhere near what they use to be, the lazy booking, and their lack of development for their homegrown talent, they might as well be a one legged WCW that is TNA at best. AEW will never be WWE and that is not a good thing pal.
@@captaineasyman lol u can’t compare their ratings to when it first started dude. AEW will never be as good as when it first started rating wise because when they first started everyone was curious so people tuned in….AEW is no where close to WCW and they are not going no where. And honestly accept for rampage which is in a terrible time slot the rating aren’t bad for dynamite. If it was so bad how come Warner media bros are giving TK a bigger TV deal. You see the problem with you guys is that you think AEW is suppose to average 2 million viewers a week, that is not going to happen lol because nobody watches wrestling anymore this is not the 90s. Lol if the wwe is struggling to average 2 million viewers what makes you think AEW will get that much. That’s just because people don’t really give a damn about wrestling accept for the hardcore fans. Now I know u don’t watch the show. They do have plenty of home grown talent lol
I look at tony as a guy never had to work a day in his life or struggle in his life he's a rich boy that needs to get punched
@Keep going man! Tony khan is being used by the aew roster and doesn't even realize it. He should be more of a boss instead of trying to be everyone best friend
Booker t should focus on his wrestling school in creating better talent , except the Usos ...he didn' t do much.
I feel like his stay on the McMahon side for the money.
Sometimes AEW his better then raw and sd.
