Booker T speaks candidly about Corey Graves
 
This isn't a Kenton Lane post. So no Mickey Mouse business. Here's the scoop.

Whatever this is I'm betting it's lame.

GD 02-05-2018 05:08 AM

I guess that's what your mom said when she was pushing you out.

(He has me on his "ignore List" so he isn't going to read this)

Swiss Ultimate 02-05-2018 05:12 AM

Probably also lame.

Racism is lame Guru, stop being racist.

GD 02-05-2018 05:13 AM

My disdain for you knows no boundaries. You are a pathetic human being irl. I hope you quit this forum and never post here again.

Anybody Thrilla 02-05-2018 05:16 AM

I love Booker T.

Booker T is amazing.

Anybody Thrilla 02-05-2018 05:18 AM

Corey Graves is dope too, though. He's just become a bit of a mark for himself as of late. As far as I can tell.

Yeah, reeks of work.

Evil Vito 02-05-2018 08:25 AM

It's a work.

Evil Vito 02-05-2018 08:25 AM

Then again, when you're in wrestling as long as Booker has been - everything is a work and I'm not sure you can ever switch that off completely.

slik 02-05-2018 09:05 AM

Booker T working da masses and da masses fallin 4 it

Simple Fan 02-05-2018 09:13 AM

Booker was my favorite commentator after JBL left. Fuck Corey Graves and I hope Booker finds him on the street somewhere.

yeah probably

Destor 02-05-2018 10:38 AM

Life is a work.

Destor 02-05-2018 10:40 AM

However Book would absolutely do this (unless he got his payday back)

My Final Heaven 02-05-2018 12:22 PM

Has anybody noticed Graves and Becky Lynch haven't been in the same place at the same time since either got called up? ;)

Anybody Thrilla 02-05-2018 02:08 PM

What would the benefit of this work be if Booker T has indeed been relegated to pre-shows and such? It's not like there's money to be made there.

Ol Dirty Dastard 02-05-2018 02:12 PM

May just be having fun.

Anybody Thrilla 02-05-2018 02:24 PM

It's possible. He didn't really sound that legitimately angry.

Sepholio 02-05-2018 02:25 PM

I agree. He was basically giggling the whole time.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-05-2018 02:36 PM

When did Mark become everybody's name?

Anybody Thrilla 02-05-2018 03:06 PM

Shut the fuck up. We're posting on a message board about wrestling. We're all marks. You're definitely no better than any of us.

Ol Dirty Dastard 02-05-2018 05:48 PM

Besides having some fun like others mentioned, probably a way to weave a possible future storyline for his own wrestling promotion in Houston. If he was really threatening Graves, WWE likely would pull their connections and support for his promotion.

Anybody Thrilla 02-05-2018 07:00 PM

Thinking about it, if Graves could actually ever work safely again, I think they could have had an interesting feud, culminating at Roadblock or something.

Corey called SD last week and she had a match

And lol people would be bitching if Corey Graves got cleared for a match before Daniel Bryan

I dunno, I think only a douchebag would draw a parallel as such. So yeah, maybe.

– As one might expect, the reported “heat” between Booker T and Corey Graves isn’t what it appears to be. There’s been a fair bit of speculation around apparent issues between the two after the WWE Hall of Famer said on his podcast that Graves was responsible for his being taken off the Raw commentary team and detailed his dislike of Graves. That was followed by Graves taking a shot at Booker on Raw this week, when he told Jonathan Coachman, “Watch your tongue or you might be doing afternoon radio locally.”

Well, it’s all a work according to Sports Illustrated. The outlet cites sources close to WWE who have confirmed that Booker did the podcast specifically to give Graves some extra heel heat on his way out of Raw commentary spot.

The site notes that with Booker campaigning for the Houston mayoral spot next year, if a candidate asks why Booker threatened harm upon graves by saying, “If I catch Corey Graves on the street, I’m gonna do something to him” then Booker can reference the fact that it is a work.

BOOKER T WORKED EVERYONE FINALLY INTERVIEWS COREY GRAVES
 
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nzPj_VZe1kA" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T noted on his radio show on Saturday that his comments about wanting to fight Corey Graves got blown out of proportion with major publications.

Booker T mentioned that he was actually happy to be moving to the pre-shows. Graves noted that they weren’t try to accomplish anything and they were “goofing off” and “just having fun.”

You can check out the entire video of the reveal above from Booker T’s radio show as Corey Graves joined him to clear the air. This is yet another lesson learned to anyone who jumped to conclusions thinking there was legit heat there. It was noted Booker T might not appreciate everything Corey Graves said to him while the two were a part of the Raw announce team, but it turns out this was all in fun and both have a deep understanding of the business. Therefore it looks like we’ve been worked again while Booker T and Corey Graves had a great time in the process.
