Booker T has advice for The Revival: Take the money

Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has some advice for The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson).

It was recently reported that the duo turned down a massive money offer from WWE, and once again requested their release from the company. Both men were reportedly offered more than $700,000 a year to remain with the company, but with that being said, the team simply is โ€œjust ready to go.โ€

Recently, Booker took to his podcast, โ€œThe Hall Of Fame,โ€ to offer Wilder and Dawson some advice. The Hall Of Famerโ€™s advice was simple โ€“ take the money. (H/T Fightful)

โ€œIf I could give them any advice, โ€˜Take the money. Take whatโ€™s behind door number one.โ€™ If they came to me and said, โ€˜Hey Book, weโ€™re going to give you a million dollars a year. Youโ€™re not going to win any titles. Weโ€™ll give you TV time. A 15-year contract.โ€™ Iโ€™m gonna shut the hell up. I donโ€™t give a damn about no titles.

โ€œLegacy and all that is okay. But if I had the choice of getting the money, and not working, Iโ€™m taking the money and Iโ€™m not gonna care about the legacy. Iโ€™m gonna take that $15 million and parlay that into 45 or 50. For me, it was about getting paid and parlaying professional wrestling into what Iโ€™m doing right now. If they wouldโ€™ve said, โ€˜you can take the money and work sporadicallyโ€™ or โ€˜take the money and stay at home.โ€™

โ€œYou would have never saw me again. Iโ€™m serious. I love the business. I got a school. I love watching these young guys going out there and live their dream. I loved living my dream as well. When I first got into the business, I had never left the state of Texas. And I was on a 15-hour flight to Japan. Iโ€™m on a flight to Germany. Iโ€™m on my way to The Islands.

โ€œI went to North Korea. If I had to give it all back? No, I wouldnโ€™t. But, if they would have gave me $1 million a year, I couldโ€™ve taken all those trips anyway and got a chance to enjoy them instead of going to the building and then to the airport.โ€

As it stands, Dawsonโ€™s deal with WWE is up in April, while Wilderโ€™s runs through to June. All signs point to the pair jumping ship to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) where a lot of their friends currently work.
