Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has questioned whether fans in the United States will actually care enough about New Japan Pro Wrestling to tune in to the upcoming AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door event.
During the latest episode of his Hall Of Fame podcast, Booker T spoke about the upcoming event. He said,
“I do not think the majority of people here in the United States are clicking to go find Japanese wrestling. I just don’t believe that.”
“They’re going to love it, I get that. The AEW fanbase, they’re going to love it,” Booker expressed. “But what I am saying is, outside of the AEW fanbase, there aren’t a whole lot of people are going to look at this like it’s a forbidden door because don’t too many people know about it but the AEW fanbase.”
AEW/NJPW: Forbidden Door will take place on June 26th in Chicago, Illinois.
