10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Nov 12)
10. Booker T Thinks James Ellsworth's Act Is Getting Old
Since acting as enhancement talent for Braun Strowman on the July 25 episode of Monday Night Raw, James Ellsworth has blossomed into a cult-like phenomenon in WWE. Now appearing exclusively on SmackDown Live, the diminutive jobber has been aligned with Dean Ambrose and even holds a few victories over current WWE Champion AJ Styles.
On this past week's edition of SmackDown in Glasgow, Scotland, Ellsworth was handed one of the biggest pops of the night by the live crowd. That's something WWE Hall Of Fame inductee Booker T just doesn't understand. The multi-time World Champ can't comprehend why Ellsworth is still around.
Speaking via his Heated Conversations podcast, Booker said that he didn't have anything against James Ellsworth. He does think it's awesome that an unlikely wrestler bagged himself an opportunity. However, it has went on too long for the WWE ambassador.
Straight up, Booker T shared his belief that the James Ellsworth saga is 'getting old' for him now. Booker thinks there are trainees from his own school and promotion that are much more deserving of the screen time.
