Later in the broadcast, Booker said that there are not a lot of promoters in the history of wrestling that operate like Khan, believing that Khan has talked his way out of every fight or called his father, once again reiterating that he doesn’t think Khan is the kind of person that can take control of a volatile situation. Booker cited the Executive Vice President roles of Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks as an example.

“Giving all these guys positions other than just paying them to do their job and do their job to the best of their ability, that totally messed everything up from the beginning,” the former world champion said.

Booker believes that Khan should stay backstage, and not try to become a regular presence, or worse a character, in the wake of the firing, providing Vince McMahon’s on-screen role as the exception to that rule.

“[Tony Khan is] not per se an actor,” Booker explained. “Vince [McMahon] was a really good actor, and that’s where the difference is.”
