Booker T Furiously Hits Out At Hall Of Fame Critics

Booker T and his brother Stevie Ray are set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2019, but their induction was met by some critics, who claimed that they, Stevie Ray especially, weren’t deserving of the spot.

Booker, clearly frustrated at the criticism, stated:

“That’s what this thing is about, and the, what’s his name? The Dave Meltzers. I can’t even remember the guy’s name. He doesn’t understand that kinda stuff. And I hate even giving him a plug on my show because that’s what kind of dirtbag he is.

“My brother and I, we paved the way for so many other young African-American wrestlers that watched us and said ‘man if Booker T and Stevie Ray can do it, we can do it too’.

“We talk about how there’s not that many black wrestlers in this business, it’s because they didn’t get a chance to see a whole lot of them in there actually doing it.

“That’s why my brother and I, us getting that nod, of course, yeah, we deserve it because we paved the way, not just for so many black wrestlers like Street Profits, but so many young white kids as well. We represented for everyone!”
