Booker T responds to the rumors and reports of WWE potentially buying TNA Wrestling.
On the latest episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, NXT commentator Booker T spoke about the recent reports that WWE has the option to buy TNA as well as the option to prevent others from buying it. Booker said he believes that this report is a distinct possibility.
“I could see something like that being, you know, available for WWE, just because all the work that they’re doing together right now,” Booker T said. “I don’t see TNA being sold anytime soon, because I think they got a really, really good thing going.
“You know, I think it only can get better for TNA right now. It’s a huge upside for TNA to still be in business. Can [WWE/TKO] write a huge check for somebody to just say, ‘Hey, man, let us run this thing.’ And, you know, hey, take this with you and somebody look at that check, and they go, ‘oh, man, I appreciate it.’… because they got deep pockets. Man, they got deep pockets, you know, and money talks, bull crap walks.
“I would imagine, if they wish to buy TNA, they would keep it in existence. I just wish they would have had that same thing around the early 2000s – that same mindset around the early 2000s when WCW came along.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
