He obviously did not say this maliciously. We all say stupid things, but Booker seems to say stupid things a lot. Is this the part where I say swerve, sucka? Bro...

It was an honest slip up so I won't attribute that quote negatively to Booker's persona.

They should've just went all out. Booker T: "Gravity didn't forget Owen Hart, dawg!" Michae Cole: "Neither did the turnbuckle." JBL: "You're trollin', Maggle! HAHAHAHA I LOVE IT!"

It is a poor choice of words, but I understand what Booker was trying to do. He was putting over Neville, but just made a mistake. An unfortunate slip that he apologized for.

Yeah I hope there is no real ill will towards this. In no way was he trying to make a joke or be "controversial". Just a Wicked poor choice of words. Hopefully he doesn't get too much backlash because his intent was pretty clearly not to make reference to that. But damn.

I hate to replicate my posts since I just put this video reaction in another thread for another topic....
HOWEVER, when Booker said it this was (with the same tone and inflection and an added facepalm) exactly what I said. So, I'm going to break my own rule.
Anyway...my reaction?

On one hand, I don't blame Booker because I know he didn't mean anything by it. Every announcer has a slip like this. Remember JR's Heath Ledger comment? Or how about Zombie Eddie?
On the other hand, much like the Zombie Eddie comment, what a horrendous way to phrase your thoughts.

To be honest, if the commentary team just threw all decency to the wind and said horrible things like that pretty much 24/7 they'd be a lot more entertaining. My sense of humour tends to be very black so I'd probably giggle at it like an idiot. Especially if they said it as if they were consummate professionals calling a big sports event or something.

Yeah, I had to rewind just to make sure I heard it correctly.
You know, sometimes I think Booker T may not be a very intelligent man.

And that's how Booker T kicked Owen Hart's legacy outta his legacy.

dont see the harm of this. people are over reacting.
we all know booker t and we know he wouldn't joke around in that fashion. Think for a second, could you see booker t say ' haha owen fell to his death' especially on tv.

Think for a second, could you see booker t say ' haha owen fell to his death' especially on tv. Oh yeah, there's no way he meant it, and as such I'm not offended by it. My comment was only based on him not really thinking it through.

This is why I hate twitter/the internet sometimes. Stories like this just snowball out of control beyond anyone's ability to ground it in any kind of reason.
This was a completely innocent comment with awkward wording. Nothing more. Let's move on.

I'm more offended by that "I'm sorry YOU were offended" apology.
"I made an unfortunately phrased comment on a live RAW broadcast, for which I apologize. I did not mean any disrespect to the memory of Owen Hart."
How hard is that?
