CM Punk and Bryan Danielson's surprising arrival at AEW last year instigated every wrestling enthusiast to reminisce about the midst of the 1990s event when Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, who used to go by The Outsiders, left WWE for WCW.
This comparison has received a mixed response from wrestling fans and veterans alike. Booker T, who recently spoke with Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling, also shared his thoughts on the matter.
The WWE Hall of Famer doesn't think Danielson and Punk have made the same impact as Hall and Nash did back in the day. However, Booker T does believe the younger generation sees Danielson and Punk as modern-day versions of The Outsiders today because of their star power:
"I wouldn't say it had the same impact. But relatively to what's going on now to what was going on back then, CM Punk being a big star today. Bryan Danielson being a big star. Yes, in that aspect, it was kind of like that and the young generation today look at CM Punk and Bryan Danielson as their, you know, Hall and Nash today," Booker T said. [3:02-3:31]
