Booker T is the latest WWE Hall of Famer to chime in on WrestleMania 43 taking place in Saudi Arabia.
On the latest episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, NXT commentator Booker T spoke about the announcement that WrestleMania 43 will take place in Saudi Arabia. Noting that a lot of people in the industry aren’t happy about it due to events like Wrestlecon.
“No WrestleCon, that’s what a lot of guys are really ticked off about,” Booker T said. “That WrestleCon is going to be preempted for two big shows, so there’s a lot of upset people out there right now. I get it. It’s about dollars and cents at the end of the day.
“It is about the talent and creating a lot of revenue to pay these guys. Hopefully, they’re making the most money they’ve ever made in their lives. It doesn’t last forever; you want to make as much money as you possibly can and be ready to parlay it into something else. For me, I get it. For the people that are upset, I understand their gripe, but for me, as a businessman, this is what I say — what would you do?” [H/T: WrestlePurists]
