Former WCW star crys about AEW Dark

[Moon Bird]

Booker T on wrestlers working on Dark:

“Hell yeah, it’s a demotion,” he said. “I know that’s going to get picked up, but hell yeah it’s a demotion. Damnit, I’m not working on Dark. For me, working on Dark, which is a show that is only on the internet should be for the young guys coming up. I didn’t come from the big how, no pun intended, which I am talking about WWE, I didn’t come from WWE to come to AEW to work Dark.

“I don’t even know what Dark is, I don’t know who’s on it, I don’t know when it’s aired or anything like that. So, for me to be on Dark, it would make me feel a certain way, me personally.”


Can you imagine wrestling because you love to do it? Clearly Booker can't....

There are 3 hours of TV time in the week. Obviously not everyone is getting TV time every week. How do you still stay in peoples minds? Wrestle on Dark! You get to hone your craft in the ring in front of a live audience. You can have fun and try out new things since it's a smaller audience and make any tweaks you have to before taking your ideas to TV... and because it's on YouTube there's a section of the audience who might not watch Dynamite/Rampage (I'm guessing younger people? idk but there are bound to be kids without access to tnt/tbs who like wrestling) so you can build up a fan base in that group of people.

I think Booker needs to put down the crack pipe...

Yet another idiot who thinks Dark is WWE Superstars and how they treat their C shows.

Lol when you're running low on attention all you gotta do is criticize AEW and you'll be on the front page of all the dirt sheets.

Like Booker gives a fuck lmao he worked Velocity

I like that they have big appearances in occasion. Younger talent getting to work with established names can only help them from my POV. Wouldn't say it's a demotion to be on the Darks.

It's like a check box of

1. Too many free agent hirings
2. Women's division
3. Youtube shows

If you got a podcast, pick a random number between 1 and 3, say it, and watch your internet engagements skyrocket for 3 days or so

Followed by the typical AEW response

1. Irrelevant
2. Wants attention
3. Don't actually think this way.

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Those pesky AEW fans having the nerve to actually like stuff is an odd concept in 2022 for wrestling fans I'll admit. Just wish they didn't fall for troll bait so often cause of it

Some of the same people who say being on Dark is horrible, will say being on Main Event isn’t a big deal and nothing to worry about.

 

[Chris]

Creepy twitter algorithm strikes again cause this shit is a week old and I'm just now seeing it

That's cause literally everyone that's picked their side is a hypocrite about something or another between companies lol
