2 Cents: Booker T on Commentary

[yourcrapsweak]

I personally actually like him. What do you think?

[kiel297]

I love him for the mere fact that he's trolling the shit out of everyone. He clearly pays attention to the internet. Every saying of his that I've seen turned into a meme on Reddit (See: Sidewalk slam, hip bone connected to the leg bone), he keeps on using, and we keep on laughing. It's at the point where I've created the Booker T drinking game!

At first he seemed a bit rough but now i find him entertaining.

[Big Red Machine]

Can't stand him. His comments rarely make sense in context, and he doesn't seem to know when to be quiet.

[badnewzxl]

he's hilarious with his vocab (and lack there of, in some ways) and his analysis is believable bc he was/is an AWESOME wrestler. His timing could become better if they'd let him work with just one other guy for a while, but he's better (more entertaining) in his first year at the desk than most others have been (Cole, Taz, Shane, Grisham, etc)

AWWWWWW yeah, I was talking to my boy D Bryan earlier today...

I personally don't like him that much, he's kinda like Taz, I'm expecting some amazing insight from the old days of wrestling, but i usually get nonsense...

[Bob-O]

I have trouble understanding him. I like Booker, but I don't think Color Commentary is his niche.

This.

Sometimes he says half of one sentence, but finishes it off with something totally irrelevant, y'know things like, "Hey yo, I was talking to my man D Bryan earlier , he said he's as confused about this Sin Cara situation as anybody and after that she cooked twins some waffles & made me a sandwich"

I usually don't mind wrestler-turn-commentators, because they provide extra little pieces of information like psychology & what certain holds do to which body parts. It makes you think "Shit he's ripping his neck out". But, with Booker T... no insight whatsoever.

I'd prefer Regal in the Smackdown seat over Booker. Regal DOES give that insight and let's you know the psychology.

[Verdun]

He's incoherent at times. I get too distracted when he starts totally going off his rocker.

He's got the energy and the persona, I just think he needs to pay attention to what's coming out of his mouth.

[Serujuunin]

He's become kind of an inside joke with my friends and me after Night of Champions. He didn't seem capable of saying anything but "WHOA!", so we started saying it to each other in the most random circumstances, just like he does.

Sometimes he annoys me 'cause he's SO random, but some of the things he says just cracks me up.

[badnewzxl]

he's basically EXACTLY what Dusty Rhodes was in WCW during the mid and late 90's. I think once he realizes what the audience enjoys from him, he'll capitalize on it. He's getting better....
