Next year will see the reunion of two wrestlers from AEW and WWE.
Booker T, a current WWE NXT commentator, was a successful singles and tag team star who held Tag Team Titles in all significant promotions. He did this over the course of several decades while working for a variety of promotions. While working in WWE in the early 2000s, he was a part of a run with Dustin Rhodes, who wore The Goldust gimmick at the time, during which they became World Tag Team Champions.
The WWE Hall of Famer mentioned that he’ll be doing a tour with the AEW wrestler in 2024 during a Q&A at For the Love of Wrestling that was recorded and posted to YouTube by Monopoly Events.
“Me and Goldie (Goldust), I had a great time working with Goldust. It was a night off, like every night. We came out and performed because we were normally just coming out to do something stupid. That’s what wrestling is. You gotta be able to laugh at yourself. You gotta be able to make fun of yourself, and when it’s not fun, it’s time to check out and do something else, so those were some of my fondest times working with my man Goldie. We’re gonna be doing a tour next year too, so make sure you check it out,” Booker T stated.
Despite his prior accomplishments as the World Heavyweight Champion in WCW, Booker T was also questioned about when he felt he made the transition from being a tag team star to a main event level singles wrestler.
“As singles wrestling goes, you know it’s one of those touchy moments because you know he’s not here. Chris Benoit, I wouldn’t be where I am as far as a wrestler as a performer if it wasn’t for the best of seven series [for the United States Title in 2004] that I did, and that’s when I really knew that I could actually do this on the next level. It was a great seven. Some of the greatest. You guys haven’t seen the best of seven series. You gotta check it out,” Booker T stated.
