TUNE IN: Booker T’s LIVE ROW Seminar Tonight At 7:30 PM CST On WrestleZone’s FB Page feat. Fan Q&A
On ROW’s booking team of Booker T and Bruce Prichard and what the two of them are like as bookers:
BG: A lot of the times they see things similarly. Booker has this great phrase, “There is no wrong way to do something as long as you do it right.” To me, it’s almost the same with Bruce but he spent like 20-30 years with Vince. I think a lot of the time Bruce sees things through “Vince eyes” and Booker sees it through the eyes of, “I was a wrestler and this is how I would do it.” That’s the biggest difference between them. Bruce has produced some of the greatest segments in the history of wrestling. I think he looks at it from a producer standpoint and Booker looks at it like a performer and what he would like to do in a match. Like, “if this was me this is how I would lay it out.” They’re on the same plane but at the same time, this is Booker’s company.
On the recent controversy around the comments Booker T made about Corey Graves on Heated Conversations last week:
BG: Who knows? Who knows what’s going to happen? I’m going to let Booker address it tonight. It’s his situation. I was just in the room at the time. Hey, I’ve met Corey, Corey is a great guy. Obviously Booker is my guy, he’s my mentor and my everything. We’ll see how it plays out. I’m staying away from it.
