    I watch most of the clips they post on Dutch's channel and, whenever he talks about his time in TNA, he usually says he doesn't remember and he was probably in catering. Dutch has a great mind for the business but, I'm going to talk in code here, it doesn't surprise me that he and Booker never "broke bread", so to speak. I believe what Booker said much quicker than I would believe Dutch.

    90% of the young talent didn’t question anything or the older guys didn’t care and just collecting a check. Booker would ask questions! There is a big difference from being hard to work with and asking for direction and wanting clarification about why we are doing things when no one can give you an answer. Like “What does the Legends mean and will it be defended or just something to carry around” and no one could answer. Or wanting him to lose a match while Legends champion for no reason…. wouldn’t that mean the person that beat him gets the belt 😂 Could never get an answer in TNA

If all of these guys are saying the exact same thing about Booker T (who is my favorite male wrestler of all-time by the way) there just might be some truth to it. These guys can't be making it up, they have nothing to gain.

    @@RealityOfWrestling Nonsense. In 2006 "King" Booker headlined the 2 lowest drawing WWE PPV's thar year and furthermore, No Mercy (it only did a pathetic 197,000 buys worldwide, which would remain the lowest buyrate until Cyber Sunday 2007, which did just 194,000 worldwide) was the lowests drawing WWE PPV since Taboo Tuesday 2004. Already the PPV he entered as contender, Great American Bash, did bad. In fact it remains the second worst drawing Great American Bash for the WWE. On top of that, he only averaged a crowd of 2,630 as Champion headlining domestic House Shows, which currently puts him as the 4th lowest Champion to do so (After Eddie, who's the worst drawing WWE Champion of all time, Kofi and Reigns) and the Smackdown Rating also declined during his reign, even hitting a 1.9. This isn't surprising, as he also was a rating killer in WCW. Whenever he had the World Championship in 2000, the Nitro rating would take a dip. Every time he lost the belt back to Nash or Steiner, the rating instantly climbed up. And lastly, in 2000, WCW had a research firm analyze all quarter ratings for Nitro and Thunder, including channel switches for the year 1999. Booker ended up as somebody who actively drove people away, for the entire year a total of 704,064 people changed the channel when he appeared. All of this shows that he was a miserable failure, completely overpushed to a fault. A big mistake overall. I know the truth hurts, but try to deal with it 🙃

    If Dutch Mantel believes Booker T was difficult to work with in TNA, that's his subjective opinion which he is entitled to based on his experiences. Booker is entitled to disagree. If Booker dislikes people stating their opinion or speculating on what happened during certain points of his career he can be irked all he wants & there's nothing he can do about it other then put across his narrative of the events. I was a TNA fan during that time and fan of Booker T. But there has always been rumblings he was difficult to work with during that time. Meltzer and Keller probs reported on it weekly at time in their newsletters which i could look at now if cared enough and had time. Of course two sides to every story.

    Bookers biggest issues mentioned later is hearing now about being hard to work with and not a single person ever brought it up at the time. Booker is very straight to the point with people so if Dutch felt that way about Booker would have been easy at the time to say something or at least ask.

    If asking questions about the booking when it legit makes zero sense is being hard to work with then yes 😂 Most of the wrestler in TNA were young kids that were just happy to be there so did whatever they were told so without question. Which is why a lot of TNA angles were all over the place 😂

    No lie, Booker is such a nice guy that at times I wish he would speak up for himself & be no BS at his big bro. Well on this video, I saw him trying to keep that inner Stevie Ray on the inside & not come out. Booker kept it professional but u can still tell Texas almost came out of him when he felt disrespect from Dutch.

    There is a big difference from being hard to work with and asking for direction and wanting clarification about why we are doing things when no one can give you an answer. Like “What does the Legends mean and will it be defended or just something to carry around” and no one could answer. Or wanting him to lose a match while Legends champion for no reason…. wouldn’t that mean the person that beat him gets the belt 😂 Could never get an answer in TNA

AJ even worked some ROW events and have interviews where AJ talks about Booker teaching him. It’s interesting to see how people’s perception changes when they aren’t frustrated like AJ became with TNA :)

    I don't always agree w/ Booker T's opinions but I do here. A lot of the wrestlers who are older than him have trouble remembering things correctly. Booker using 'The territories ' show is a perfect example too. I thought the exact same thing King Book and his co-host said when I watched the show. Fugazi, can't trust it. Entertaining show but it's blatant that the old timers are both streching and taking some liberties w/ the truth regarding telling it the way it went down. 6:32
