It's an old school thing as well, earlier and opening matches usually get frowned upon for being the best match and Booker probably could have been nursing an injury and really had to bump hard to match the quality
Please please have Jason Sensation do his Booker T impression again. Paul's is good, but Jason is on another level with that one. It's as good as his HBK's impression.
It always confounds me whenever we hear stories about these decorated veterans getting upset about younger guys going out, stealing the show and getting over with what they're given. There have been stories about Triple H and Shawn Michaels burying the likes of CM Punk and Bobby Lashley when they were starting out in developmental and on the main rosters. And I'm like "Why?" With their positions in the company, why did they feel so threatened by these guys? Back then, guys like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Booker T, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit were made men. They were so over that they were in no real danger of losing their "spots" in the company. The only way they could so was if they fucked up really badly or did something so terrible that Vince McMahon had no choice but to do away with them. It's kind of like how people joke about wondering when shows like "The Simpsons" or "South Park" are going to end. The answer being when the creators get tired of doing it. It's the same with these established veterans. They'll walk away when they're good and ready. It would make more sense for guys like Cena, Orton, Batista and Edge to get upset at something like this back then. They were on the cusp of breaking through to the main event picture but not quite there yet. So, what made Booker T so insecure and threatened about Paul London and Sylvain Grenier putting on a stellar match whereas he as a bigger star could easily go out there and put on an even better match? Did the former five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time, FIVE-TIME WCW Champion really have that fragile of an ego? It seems that professional wrestling is one of the few athletic-based forms of entertainment where your co-workers/teammates try to discourage you and sabotage you from putting your best effort out there. You don't see Aaron Judge get upset at Giancarlo Stanton for hitting a homerun in a game instead of him to get the Yankees a victory. You never saw Rob Gronkowski get upset at Tom Brady for throwing more passes to Julian Edelman than him if it meant the Patriots won the game. So long as the team wins at the end of the day, why should anyone care? If it means more fans are entertained and it makes the show even better, what does it matter if the undercard guys deliver? Sorry about the long rant. It just seems like pro wrestling is a very weird business to get into.
Ego comes before any and everything in wrestling. Some of the biggest stories in wrestling, like the Montreal Screwjob (whether it’s a work or not) comes down to ego. Wrestlers have huge egos and the game to the bussiness is being selfish while acting like your not. It’s a work such as the bussiness itself. Two guys out there going toe to toe over whose the better ‘wrestler’ meanwhile the final pinfall is always rigged…while it takes two to tango, there is only one top guy . It doesn’t matter how decorated anyone is in the biz, people will always have ego issues. Even now I think many vets don’t mind people not being able to get over the way people got over back in the day because the wwe not being able to make huge stars means that the vets become even bigger stars…the previous generation is even more important and vets must love that…a very selfish industry
This story is funny, it’s about some wrestler (who no one found out later who took it)taking his energy drink from the cooler and none are left and booker t making a scene
I believe this is the full video this clip is from. Unless I'm wrong but here's the link. It happened Monday ua-cam.com/users/livebBjP5ckCIII?feature=share
This was a funny story and it actually happened why not talk about it lol Paul just said he was confused but then he told us what Booker and Arn said and they gave their perspective about why they had an issue with it
You only consider it hate more than likely, because you like booker. A lot of us do, but he’s just like a lot of other big stars back then, they were insecure
Booker T was mad that he actually had to take some bumps that night instead of doing spinaroonies 😆
Ay leave my man alone 😂😂😂😂
Instead of bumps of cocaine
@@DjCp3o420 he could still do the cocaine though...lol
You can tell paul hates black people
@@mistermann3225 did Booker do lines?! I’ve never heard a story
This is actually hilarious 😂 and Booker knows damn well he could go out and put on a clinic and get the crowd into it still
It's an old school thing as well, earlier and opening matches usually get frowned upon for being the best match and Booker probably could have been nursing an injury and really had to bump hard to match the quality
@@codesm96 makes a lot of sense actually
There's enough contextual BS you have to work around in that business, suck me sideways if the next problem is your match was too GOOD
@@geedee1264 well hopefully it’s curved if we have to do it sideways…otherwise logistically that’s a nightmare

His Scott Steiner impression is fantastic! 🤣
Yeah it's uncanny if you look closely his eye wanders a little too.

Don't steal the show or his red bulls... Lol I still love Booker. Happy retirement!

@@Billable_Ours were they the bashams?
booker sounds insane
Booker and the britney spears example😂😂
All I can think about now is what if Booker T got a Britney Spears gimmick?! 😂
Jillian Hall killed it instead.
Whenever I hear Stephen King I think of scene about him in Mr Deeds
I'm thinking the same as FIXTREME, was there no live yesterday?
As a Black Man I gotta admit that Booker T impression was funny as hell
"as a black man"
Are your ears different cause you’re black or just the CEO of black?
Tf ? 🤔
You should interview Booker
britney spears😆🤣 ughhhh my stomach
Did I miss something, or was there no episode yesterday?😯
The last episode I watched was number 55, which was the 6th of February. I'm not sure if there was one yesterday. 🤔

Believe this is the video
How is Jason?
This crew plus James would make a good CDR roster
What happened to Jason last week.
Did he get the ride off them two lasses off the street?
It was a weird one.
You should interview Dutch
@@marcbasil because they can
The more I hear about Booker T. The less I feel sorry for him about being buried by the rock and also his TNA run.
Another fat mark KWAB
@Death Adder smart move
Booker in wwe had the same match every time he wrestled. Everyone likes booker but his matches were copy and paste
He was over as fuck. who cares about his workrate
He was the rock on his 2000 run in WCW.
That's an awesome story, great impression
I always liked boomer but even as it a kid kinda seemed like he phoned it in
Booker T stories are so good,
Paul London booked t impression 😂🤣🤣.
4:05
From hearing from Paul London's stories on Book, Booker T seems like a petty guy.
I believe this is the full video this clip is from. Unless I'm wrong but here's the link. It happened Monday ua-cam.com/users/livebBjP5ckCIII?feature=share
You're right, I watched it. Episode 55. I don't think there was one yesterday. Could be wrong, though.
@@MissHardy30 if their was. I didnt get a notification for it
Booker T seems like a diva
This show is all about hate I don’t know why?
Negativity baiting controversy
This was a funny story and it actually happened why not talk about it lol Paul just said he was confused but then he told us what Booker and Arn said and they gave their perspective about why they had an issue with it
