Anyone who has tuned in for a two-hour pro wrestling show on Tuesday nights on the USA Network has noticed one thing, if nothing else.
Booker T is a larger than life personality, even as a commentator.
The WWE NXT color-commentator addressed the heavy criticism he receives for his commentary style on NXT on USA shows during the latest installment of his “Hall Of Fame” podcast.
“You know, I get a lot of praise, you know, for my commentary on NXT, but I get so many people that kill me on a regular basis, you know, they’re like the worst commentator in the history of the world, you know,” Booker T said. “But for me, I just say, man, they just want my job. They just wish they were me. That’s the way I look at it. You know?”
Booker T continued, “People are gonna be cruel, man. I just think I guess I’m just glad I didn’t have to grow up in this social media world. But when I was a kid, I used to get in fights all the time because kids would call me Booger instead of Booker. You know? So I can only imagine what, you know, they would call me if I had social media, you know? So it’s crazy, man. Young people, man. Try to get past this, man. It’s life. Seriously.”
