I'm sorry but this guy needs to be taken off commentary asap, he's absolutely fucking terrible. It's bad enough that he can barely string a sentence together, but when he does manage to actually speak the English language he adds nothing to the product and makes no sense whatsoever. What's worse is that there's Matt Striker, William Regal and even Scott Stanford who are all ten times better than this clown. It's clear that the only reason he's on commentary is because of who he is, because he's one of the worst commentators I've ever heard.
Has anyone seen this week's Smackdown? If not, watch the AJ vs. Bella match and listen to him. Fucking terrible.
I'm not trying to be different or anything but completely honest when I say that Booker T is a great commentator that entertains the hell out of me. He comes off as over the top and rarely speaks logically but that's the beauty of his commentary. He has charisma as a commentator and he has that fire and passion that I just love to hear. When comparing him a guy to Jerry Lawler it's just a joke because there just isn't any passion there or excitement for whatever he's saying. I think when you are on commentary it all depends on HOW you say it and now WHAT you are actually saying..especially when judging a guy like Booker T who has an unorthodox style. I think his rants with Cole are the most entertainment you will get out of not only commentary but the entire WWE at times. They are just brilliantly done and it's a joy to watch Cole and Booker bounce off one another with excellent chemistry. I'm not going to sit here and say that you're an idiot if you don't like Booker's commentary because I do understand why some wouldn't really be into him. He is very unique and could easilly come off as annoying or forced with his over the top ranting at times. He's a guy that you either love or hate and I think both ways have logical point of views.
I love Booker T so much that I went as far as saying that he should be on the Raw show but after thinking it over I don't really see that as a good idea at all. Raw is looked at as the 'A' show where supposedly everybodys watching and Booker T could easilly piss off Vince with the type of stuff he pulled tonight during the AJ match. His commentary is much better suited for once a week so it will not get overdone or stale quickly. His commentary is at its best when he is just using his one of a kind voice and charisma to make even the biggest jobbing match with Mahal and Jackson worthy of watching. The type of stuff that comes out of mouth should be during those jobber filler matches instead of ranting on HHH\HBK\Taker angle or Rock\Cena which would totally take away from the angle and drive people nuts. Smackdown is the absolute perfect situation for him and I hope he stays with the company in that position for a very long time.
He's the only guy who puts both heels and faces over.
For so many fucking years all you heard was the same damn Cole/Lawler commentary that was boring as shit. Then when Cole turned heel not a damn soul commentated on the match. They even pulled Matt Striker because he marked out too hard.
Suddenly you have a guy who actually KNOWS the names of the moves inside the ring, and you want him gone because his speech ain't suburban english.
I want him gone for the same reason I want Dusty Rhodes gone whenever he's on commentary. He's shit. Additionally, he has absolutely no chemistry with the guys he's working with. Whatever he says Cole will just rip on him for it and that's just distracting from the match at hand. He's a lot like William Regal, in that he needs a good PBP guy to keep him on track and none of the big shows have that.
This, but I agree with RKOpeep that moment was a "I think I should just stop now" moment, Cole was clearly making Booker look stupid with his statement, and Booker was dead set on proving a lost point. At times he's a mixture of humor and commentary, but for a bit, he's been slipping.
Get used to him he has been on commentary for over a year now. Vince would have removed him by now if he had a problem with him. He also seems to enjoy being on commentary every week. He is constantly smiling and looks like he is having a blast. He's not going anywhere.
I do usually like Bookers commentary but he was all over the shop this past smackdown,He made no sense during the AJ match and was struggling to speak at times.
Everytime Vince feeds Booker T a line, he fumbles it. That's what you are hearing.
For example, when Christian entered, I have no clue what Booker T said. Something about smiling means you're above everyone. It made no sense. Vince fed him that Christian is an arrogant heel but he didn't get it. And the whole AJ vs. Bryan match was a mess. I have no clue what Vince was feeding him.
Re: Can somebody tell me wtf Booker was talking about today?
Booker is getting worse every week. His commentary is cringeworthy and most of the time he doesn't make sense. I wish that they kept Striker on Smackdown.
Re: Can somebody tell me wtf Booker was talking about today?
It's just face commentators being face commentators. Like if a heel attacks a face it's a 'uncalled for assault', but when a face attacks a heel 'it's what he deserves'.
Wow, one week we have a thread praising Booker T, saying he's a great commentator and then the next week get one bashing him, Saying he's the worst. He's the most controversial commentator of all time .
