6. Booker T Gets Flak From Hart Family
This past Monday on Raw, Booker T caused unintentional uproar by innocently trying to put a current performer, Neville, over with the fans. The Englishman's nickname is 'The Man That Gravity Forgot', and whilst trying to hammer home that point, Booker accidentally offended a lot of people. After JBL had brought up Owen Hart as a previous King Of The Ring winner and notable high-flyer, Booker remarked that Neville had the edge in the upcoming tournament because Owen "couldn't defy gravity" like he can. Obviously, this wasn't intended as a jibe towards the tragic accident that took Owen's life in 1999, when he fell from the ceiling of the arena at the the Over The Edge show, but it still angered a whole load of folks. Apparently, Bruce Hart isn't prepared to forgive the former WCW World Champion for his off-the-cuff comment, telling fans on social media that it was ill-advised and "insensitive". Going further, Bruce said that Neville was nowhere near being even half the worker that Owen was.
