Next week: Cole: "Seth Rollins should be on the way to the ring. Wait, where is he? Where are J&J Security? His attack dogs?" Booker: "Maybe he's put his dogs on the enclosed pool area… …Oh f***, I did it again didn't I?" Next week - someone screws up an elbow drop, he says, "You'd never see the Macho Man crash and burn."

Ok I think saying he should be fired etc is a little bit of an over reaction.
Yes I agree it was a very poor choice of words that could have been phrased an awful lot better.
But no way do I think he would have said something like that on purpose, just be a bit more careful in future with your choice of words.

I'm going to point out that this isn't something that only happens in WWE.
Paul Steigerwald of ROOT Sports Pittsburgh has said something just as insensitive during a hockey broadcast ("He went down faster than Hobey Baker!").
Hell, in Steigerwald's case, it was worse, because he thought he was making a joke, and was perplexed as to why his color commentator didn't laugh at it, even adding in after over a minute of awkward silence, "Because he died in a plane crash!".

Calm down, calm down. Booker T is just a poor poor buy from Liverpool that has a poor command of the English language. He didn't mean anything by it.

Didn't read through the thread because I feared the consensus opinion on this.
However, obviously a honest mistake. It happens, slip of the tongue. I didn't even notice it while watching.

It be 16 years in a few weeks and they were clearly focused on Owen being a ground breaking superstar with his style but not on Neville's level. Sooner or later, you just need to get over it or stop letting Booker T. on the mic. Either one works for me.

It was pretty obvious what he meant, he just worded it poorly.
It was an honest mistake and he apologized for it.

stupid choice of words, but I can forgive it. at least he apologized, which is more than can be said for others.

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!" I just CANNOT stop looking at this gif.

It's not like it's the first time a questionable comment has been said on commentary before and I'm sure Booker meant nothing by it.

It's not Booker's fault. He's still learning English.

This will lead to Booker's new gimmick of saying more things in increasingly specific ways that eventually can in no way be construed as accidental.
*During Jimmy Snuka appearance*
Booker: "Did you know that this guy probably killed a woman and Vince talked the police out of arresting him?"
Cole: "What?"
Booker: "Um...He's a legendary HOFer!"

Nah, they'd never take shots at him on their shows...oh wait.

It was an awful thing to say on TV
