Booker T spoke about the botched RKO spot during the Je’Von Evans vs. Randy Orton match from week two of WWE NXT on CW during the latest installment of his weekly Hall Of Fame podcast.
Featured below is an excerpt from the show where he responds to a question asking if Evans deserves backlash for the botched RKO:
“No, I don’t. I don’t at all, just because that kid was in a high-pressure situation, going out there, working with somebody like Randy Orton, a major player, a guy that’s pretty much giving you the rub. Do I agree with the backlash? No, I don’t. Are you gonna make mistakes in a match? Yeah. Was the finish flawless, like people were expecting it to be? No, it wasn’t. But is that one mistake gonna be a setback for this kid? I don’t think so at all. All the haters online that’s giving this kid hate, they wish they were as talented as this kid. They wish they could do what this young man can do on a nightly basis. It’s easy to have Twitter fingers and talk about somebody else when you’re sitting on your sofa.”
