![]() I am just trying to figure this thing out. When you’ve got them all, what are you going to get them? That’s the question. That part right there is the hardest part, I think, in wrestling, creating the show through and having really, really good wrestlers on the show. “With wrestling, there again, when I have just about every wrestler under my banner out there on my programming, which is AEW, why would I try to fuel another roster? That’s what I am talking about. How the hardest part would be Khan trying to fuel a different roster: But maybe here in the future, we will all know exactly what the hell is going on.” Why do something like that when you’ve got a company over here that does shows? I don’t get it, I don’t understand it. Why would you want to do something like that, first of all? There again, it’s just going to be us doing shows. Because you’ve already got a company over here. After his parents died when he was 14 years old, his brother raised him and his siblings. ![]() The 57-year-old wrestler was born in Houston, Texas, USA. “Well, I don’t understand the idea of Tony Khan saying he’s going to book the shows at ROH. Welcome to Celebrity Net Worth website where you will find latest net worth and annual salary of. Also known as King Booker, he won more than 30 championships in the WWE, WCW, and TNA and is credited for creating The Spin-a-rooney. Highlights can be found below.ĭoesn’t understand why Khan would book ROH when he has AEW to worry about: I found Booker and Sharmell to be energetic and fun when we spoke.On the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast former five-time world champion, Booker T spoke about AEW President Tony Khan’s purchase of Ring of Honor, and how he’s unsure why Khan would want to take on the booking duties of another company when he already has a roster filled with talent in AEW. Their wrestling school acts as a feeder to WWE and other ancillary sources. That model is also fascinating. ROW charges a low entry fee to join plus a monthly fee to continue. That gives ROW a continuously renewing source for wrestlers who pay to train and as part of that training participate in filmed events which play on the ROW YouTube feed and other streaming services. For the young wrestlers this exposure, plus post Covid the ability to be seen live in local events builds their likelihood of making the jump to the big leagues of professional wrestling. It is a self-reinforcing loop in which the new students perpetuate the capacity of ROW to produce content which grows everyone’s brand. One advantage held by Booker and Sharmell was they owned all their own equipment. Booker, from the beginning believed it was best to own everything from the lights to the mats to the AV equipment. Over the years they have accumulated enough to make ROW self sufficient when it comes to putting on an event. But, wrestling in cars? That is something altogether different. Booker and Sharmell explained the people came in trucks and set up to party in their truck beds. Everyone wore masks and, like the concerts in cars, they were entertained and happy to be out. I asked Booker how they handled security, as wrestling can draw somewhat more rowdy fans. His answer surprised me. Booker said he was concerned about a lot of things, including the divisions the country was then suffering because of political difference. So, at the beginning of the event he took the stage and made a speech letting everyone know that the pandemic may be the end of Reality of Wrestling, so if everyone there wanted ROW to be able to continue, they had to come together free from conflict and let the event play out. The audience responded and the night proceeded with an audience whose only interest was in watching the event play out. Booker said that was an “awesome, awesome night.” The crowd left the fighting up to the wrestlers.
