While lately he just sits behind a microphone sharing opinions on modern wrestling, while training his students at Reality of Wrestling – Booker T is a locker room leader in the industry. Very rarely would you hear something negative said about Booker, having built a reputation for being trusted and liked by all. The same can not be said about CM Punk, who recently caused some major drama in AEW – by calling out Hangman Page, without that being a planned part of the show. With rumors going as deep as stating Punk could be close to walking out of AEW, many are shocked – but not Booker T.
Booker T Is Not Shocked By CM Punk News, Having Shared A Locker Room With Him
On the latest episode of his “Hall Of Fame” podcast, two time WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T would have a chance to comment on the recent drama between Punk & Page. Booker would be quoted saying the following.
“I’m not surprised. I’ve been in the locker room with CM Punk. Everything that we’re hearing in the news right now on social media, I’m not surprised one bit. I know the fans really love CM Punk. They got some kind of love affair with this guy. I’ve said it before that CM Punk has that ability to make fans feel a certain way about him, and those fans have followed him forever.
It was on that eight-year ride, that eight-year hiatus waiting on him and holding on to that hope that he will come back. Finally he comes back, and now we see that it’s not about the wrestling. Let’s just say that. It’s not about wrestling at all. It’s about being in the right situation.
If Tony can let him have that, great. It’s fine and dandy for CM Punk. But I’ll tell you right now, there’s a reason why we haven’t seen MJF. He falls under the same umbrella as far as, man to hell with that. I’m one guy that doesn’t have to take it. You know what I mean?”
Do you agree with Booker T on this front? Is he a reason MJF is not around in AEW right now? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
