He continued,

“People always got comments and whatnot, but my opinion. I was just making an opinion about Impact. AEW World champion Kenny Omega going over to Impact, went in the Impact World Championship. I just did not think it was a good idea beating Rich Swann. I just did not think it was a good idea from a company perspective.

“And now, not only do I think ‘that wasn’t a good idea’. Chris Jericho was talking, the question was asked about an invasion angle between Impact and AEW. He [Chris Jericho] said he didn’t think that would be a good idea at all, due to some of the same reasons. I did not think it was a good idea to put the title on a guy from another company. I just did not think it was a good idea. Now am I wrong, or is Chris Jericho wrong now?” 

Booker T gives his opinion

“Just muddies the water. More than anything. I need you focused on my show, my stars all the time. Nobody else ever. That’s just my opinion.” continued Booker.

He explained it was a talk show, and this was what they did in a talk show. He pointed out that if something is newsworthy, they are going to talk about it. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion concluded by stating,

“The thing is, you should want us to talk about it because we actually know we’re talking about as opposed to somebody who don’t know what they’re talking about. So that’s just my opinion on that.”
