Didn't Booker also once say when Punk was challenging Chris Brown to a fight that "Punk needs to watch out or Brown will put hands on him".

I'm sure Booker wasn't mocking Owen for flying to his death. This topic is stupid. Thanks for bringing your stupid opinion into this "stupid topic". Didn't realize you were made a moderator and can judge what is and isn't thread worthy I do happen to be a mod, and we don't call other posters here "stupid" - I realize calling a thread stupid is baiting and possibly trolling, but we do not call other posters stupid.

I'm not offended by what he said.I appreciate that he did apologize for it, but I don't think it should cost him hid job.

High flyer from JBL was bad enough and then Booker T just finished the job.

Very poor choice of words but he apologized and I think he was trying to honor Owen. No big deal, honest mistake.
Wish situations were different as I would like to see Owen honored more.

Almost nobody's really calling for Booker's head or really even all that offended by it, most people are just either saying it was poorly thought out or are cracking jokes about it.

Classy response. Mod well paid. its the best response to it, the usual response for when people go into threads just to crap on it. you've made your point about not liking the thread now take the advice of stop reading the thread if it bothers you so much.

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is. It'd be different if he was talking about Justin Gabriel or Tyson Kidd, y'know.. people who's gimmick wasn't "The Man Gravity Forgot." Honestly, when I heard it, that's all it sounded like. Owen was a great high flyer, Neville is a better high flyer... it's a fact. Sure, if you want to look deeper into it... yes, Owen fell to his death, therefore yeah... totally not defying gravity there. But, I had see the backlash on it before I even considered that as an option, had it been someone who has never been associated with gravity itself, my mind may have drifted to Owen's fall much quicker... but it just came off as a phrase used to put Neville over, not to disrespect Owen.
Granted, I think the damage control was necessary just because people enjoy finding things to be offended by, but I really hope Booker just shrugged it all off. It may have been a poor choice of words, in retrospect, but I completely understand the meaning behind it and can acknowledge its innocence.

Man, this hairstyle looks SO out of place for a guy today. I mean, that is the hairstyle of a cute 20 year old girl these days. I loved slicked-back hair Owen, but this hairstyle...man!

I was just thinking: Maybe stupid commentary like this is the reason why WWE has decided to not mention Chris Benoit anymore. Imagine someone f***ing up and saying something: "Flying headbutt! Now he got him in the Yes Lock! He's choking [Tyson]Kid out!" "Shades of the late Chris Benoit here, Maggle!"

I'd like to think that Owen would have thought it was a rib...

It was quite sad that JBL said "Owen wasn't this much of a high flyer"
I mean he yes he wasn't a spot monkey and I'm not saying Neville is but Owen was a damn good wrestler.

Man, I hate booker on commentary, but this kind of super awkward foot-in-mouth moment makes him more endearing. What a maroon.
