After hearing what Tony Khan had to say about him, Booker T took to the Hall of Fame podcast to praise the AEW president for his kind words, and that any criticism he's given towards All Elite Wrestling has always intended to be constructive.
"Not one time on this show have I ever disrespected Tony Khan have I? Never, you’re never going to hear me do that, because I don’t talk about this kind of stuff on a personal level or anything like that. Stuff that I’ve said about AEW has never been like to grind AEW make AEW seem like a bad place or anything like that,” said Booker T. [1:13:31-1:14:01].
Booker T even went as far as to say that if he ever bumped into Tony in public, he would have nothing but kind words to say to him there as well.
“That’s a guy I know I’ll see him on the street, see him in the airport and I go up to him and shake his hand and go ‘hey man how you doing? What’s going on man? Hey man, good luck on your success’ and what not. That’s what it would be like if I was to see Tony Khan anywhere, so there again I appreciate those kind words,” added Booker T. [1:14:54-1:15:13].
