5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Feb 9)
1. Writing The Book On Bizarre
This Corey Graves and Booker T business is harder to parse than the latter's commentary. To briefly summarise:
Booker, and who knows what the f*ck he's trying to say, let alone attempt to explain what he does say, allegedly blamed Graves for his removal from the RAW commentary booth - which isn't strictly true. If Booker hadn't unleashed so many streams of pure insanity, Graves would have no reason to constantly question his own sanity. Booker, and it was difficult to gauge his tone, threatened to beat Corey's ass. Graves in response put Booker over as one of his favourite people in the business - while also fanning the flames by quoting Sun Tzu on Twitter and incinerating Book, via Coach, on this week's RAW:
“You better be careful, Coach, or you’re going to be doing local radio too.”
That was a cut just deep enough to cast shred over the mendacity of the "beef". Poking fun at loss of income is well below the belt. There are certain things friends don't joke about. Is this whole thing a shoot, or a work? It's more likely than not a work.
Corey probably thinks it's a work.
Book probably thinks that Jason Jordan hasn't earned his opportunity yet.
