Booker T Thinks Danhausen Could Be Used In AAA and As a ‘Merchandise Machine’

On the latest episode of the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T talked about Danhausen’s WWE debut at Elimination Chamber. The AEW alumnus debuted on the show, and Booker is curious to see how the character translates to the WWE product. You can check out some highlights below:

On the Character’s Potential:

“I’m not going to try to sit here and speculate or anything like that. Other than — you know, we definitely know he could be used on AAA shows. Those guys, because they got a lot of gimmicks over there. A lot of guys are like gimmick wrestlers over there. So he’ll fit right in to the AAA mode. How far are you going to go on the main roster? And you know, who you got to match him up with? What are we really trying to get out of the Danhausen character? I know it definitely could become a merchandising machine.”

On the Importance Of Comedy In Wrestling:

“Wrestling is wrestling. And when you take Danhausen characters and funny stuff out of professional wrestling, you kind of like lose the real meaning of what wrestling truly, really is in my book. Because wrestling is to be funny sometimes, sometimes it’s serious. You got so many different elements. So I’m not gonna preconceive what we’re trying to get out of Danhausen. I’m gonna sit back and watch and let this thing play out.”
