"It's different, but it's still a war"- Booker T weighs in on AEW vs WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has had his say on the modern-day promotional war between AEW and WWE.

Many have likened the current competition between Tony Khan's AEW and Vince McMahon's WWE to the fabled Monday Night Wars. Those days produced some of the best television wrestling ever seen, and Booker T was heavily involved in this era.

Speaking to Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling, the six-time world champion stated the following:

"It's different, but it's still a war," said Booker T. "It's all about the competition. And when you're on one side looking at the other side, you're always trying to do your checks and balances. 'OK, what do I need to go out and do to make this side a little bit more special? What do I need to do to make this side a little bit stronger? Or sometimes you're anticipating jumping to the other side. That's what's so unique about the wars even back then." (2:06)

Booker T chose AEW's MJF as his Promo of the Year for 2021

Booker T is one of the legendary panelists in the first-ever Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards. He's joined this year by WWE Hall of Famers Rob Van Dam and Diamond Dallas Page as well as Vince Russo, Al Snow, and Bill Apter.

Booker was asked to choose between MJF, Paul Heyman, Britt Baker, CM Punk and Edge for Promo of the Year, and went with AEW's Maxwell Jacob Friedman. The six-time world champion showered praise on the former MLW star, but made it clear that he wouldn't want to get in a verbal joust with MJF, even in his prime.
