Booker T isnt just going after Dave Meltzer hes now addressing the voters who named him Worst Television Announcer of 2025. After Eric Bischoff blasted Wrestling Observer subscribers on his 83 Weeks podcast, Booker took a slightly different approach while speaking on the February 17, 2026 episode of his Hall of Fame podcast. When the topic of so-called AEW sickos came up, Booker shifted the blame away from the fans themselves. His co-host Brad Shepard said: These AEW sickos, theyre anti-WWE. Booker responded by making it clear he doesnt see the voters as the real issue, stating that he understands Dave Meltzer has a large following and they will more often than not agree with him. Instead of firing back at fans directly, Booker focused on what he believes is the larger problem how wrestling is consumed and discussed. Bookers comments come days after the Wrestling Observer Newsletter released its 2025 Year-End Awards, where he topped the Worst Television Announcer category with 516 votes. While Bischoff attacked the credibility of the voting base outright, Booker framed the issue as a difference in philosophy arguing that wrestling should be fun, not overanalyzed. And he made one thing clear: five years on commentary speaks louder than any award result. Do you agree with Booker Ts take that wrestling should be about fun first, or do awards like this reflect real criticism? Let us know your thoughts below.
