We've also had Brock Lesnar as a champion multiple times who if you just started calling him the absentee champion, the vast majority of people would know who you're talking about. It's not like the old days, you can absolutely have the champ call in sick if need be.

So Booker T said on his radio show that he’s not sure if he can trust Keith Lee with a big push because of his past incidents. Those past issues being “having a heart condition as a result of getting COVID in one of the disease’s hotbeds and almost dying from it”. Yes, I too would go “maybe he’s not ready for the big time” if I were the head of a company. EDIT: Here are the quotes in context And again, it needs to be said, Keith Lee said he was at risk of death from this condition.Booker T is not a good person at all, is he.

We often talk about how some people have no "filter," but I truly don't believe that Booker's brain processes anything he says before he says it. This, and the comment about how AEW could draw "only 10,000 to 20,000" people, but still be a threat because everyone is "having fun" were just truly mystifying. Like, what the hell is he even talking about?

He’s old, not the brightest and always wants to come off well in the company’s good graces. It is what it is.

Yeah, I like him, but he seriously needs to learn how to stfu. (Which is something you could probably say about the vast majority of wrestling vets. )

With Booker T, once you are willing to degrade yourself, whether it's playing a dumb guy who puts on a lumberjack costume, or acts like a king, or is in skits where the owner says the N word, or look like a chump against HHH in a racially motivated feud, you show how willing you are just to say anything to keep in good with the company.

They are still calling him Keith. I hope they don't make Bearcat his first name.

Putting aside the comment about calling in sick, which is just totally inappropriate, where is the comment about taking daughters to work coming from?
Whose been skipping work to take someone else to work?
Booker T confuses me.

Seeing the full quote... I'd just like to point out that the guy who has had the Universal title for over a year has twice survived leukemia. Well... no one liked Booker's commentary because he was good.Exactly; when we want actual quality commentary, we turn our lonely eyes to Black Snow.

By Booker's logic Roman Reigns should be courtain jerking.
One thing I learned is that many old-timers with podcasts mainly have awful takes.

What if Keith Lee becomes a complete coward and they start calling him Scaredycat Lee?

What if Keith Lee becomes a complete coward and they start calling him Scaredycat Lee? Honestly? Ratings. We can do it FAN. We can will a “Cowardly BearCatLion” gimmick for Lee.

Is Booker pro-child labor? Does he not understand that "Bring Your Child to Work Day" means that you let them visit you at your workplace? This is gibberish by Booker's standards

Imagine if they had just started calling Kofi "Wildcat Kingston" when they were experimenting with that nickname early on in his career. That's the vibe I get from this. Like I get what the names origins are. There's always the shot that he could make this work. But man... everything about this feels like a further red flag for me on the Keith Lee main roster run until proven otherwise... It's like was already said above... Lee and Dijakovic looked like the future of WWE in NXT when they were facing off... now we have "Bearcat Lee" which is like Keith's fourth attempt already at a successful push and well... T-Bar... it's truly disheartening. I'm rooting for Keith but will not be shocked at all if this tanks... I didn't think it would lead to him getting f***ing fired two weeks after I said this. Good f***ing lord. That might have been one of the quickest failed repackages in wrestling history.

Well so much for that. Take your 90 days off and kick ass somewhere else, big man. Somewhere where they may not be ashamed of your bigness.
