WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently discussed All Elite Wrestling and their demographics of fans, believing they have much more to do.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker revealed that he believes the company needs to “expand” its audience.

“They’ve got a long way to go, alright. AEW definitely has got something, they’ve got a good feel. The fans definitely seem like they’re off into it” Booker T began.

“But when you look in the audience, you don’t see any kids at all, okay, that’s one thing you don’t see. And you don’t see a whole lot of women. Just look at the audience. So, they’ve got a lot of building that they’re going to have to do in order to stretch that audience out in order to cater to everybody, not just the ones who want to watch a thumbtack match or something like that” Booker continued.

“They’re definitely going to have to widen their appeal to not just that, I wouldn’t call it a hardcore audience, but you know, somewhat” Booker concluded.
