7 Ups & 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Backstage (Dec 17)

6. Booker T Brings The Heat

This article hasn't previously been all that kind to Booker T as one of Backstage's anchors thus far, but it's his verbal omnipresence that often makes him so overbearing.

There were moments of his madcap magic throughout, but after acknowledging his testy tête-à-tête with The Revival on Sunday's TLC Kickoff (his flame-like pocket square was a nod to Harlem Heat, so noted Christian) he used his time to heap praise on the stellar clash between "Andrades" (sic) and Humberto Carrillo.

This was, for man, the best match of the night, even if pay-per-view exclusion meant it couldn't steal the show.
