Should not sign with All Elite Wrestling #2: Active Wrestlers booking themselves usually leads to trouble.

When Kevin Nash was named head booker for WCW, he quickly ended Goldberg's unbeaten streak and captured the WCW World title from him.

It's a story as old as wrestling; A popular star winds up wielding backstage power, either officially or unofficially, and uses that power to advance themselves rather than the company or other wrestlers.

It happened in the NWA during the 1980s, when Dusty Rhodes booked himself into major venues while shuffling the Rock and Roll Express into tiny arenas--despite the fact that Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson were outselling shows headlined by Dusty.

It happened again in the 1990s when Kevin Nash was given a booking job and made himself world champion, sabotaging the career of WCW's hottest property, Bill Goldberg, in the process.

With the Young Bucks being in charge of the tag team division, there's no guarantee they won't book themselves to be unstoppable and give little chance for teams like the Usos to ascend the ladder or be champions. The Usos would be well served to re-visit the past before making any major decisions.
