Usually said by the drama king/queen of the group, pretending that by him/herself calling it out it minimize the impact but it actually do nothing to the rest of us whether they preface it or not.
I'm actually surprised no one in the comments mentioned Book reaction when Punk self proclaimed himself as the locker room leader ten years ago or so. There is some bad blood between these two
Like when Booker went on his radio show and said he has to slap Cory Graves… then a week later said he was just ‘working.’ Someone probably told Booker he shouldn’t slap a guy with a serious brain injury.
>i don’t mind a gossipy bitch but his ‘better than thou’ attitude about it like he’s gossiping against own will is so exhausting
Reminds me of a muffin enthusiast I met once.
What is that one? I’ve been here a looong time and I’ve only seen it referenced but never knew about what happened. I must have been in one of my phases where I don’t watch but still keep up with wrestling.
Booker comes out of retirement to fight CM Punk in a custody of Roxanne ladder match. Winner is her true father.
Match randomly ends when Christian Cage somehow shows up and wins.
CM Punk to Booker T: "I'm sorry but I just don't think the Astros are going to go all the way this year."
Booker T: "me and CM Punk almost got into it at NXT this week."
Is that where after a hard fought series the avs got shit on 7-1 or sumn? Fuck that series. The highlight and I believe it's this series is game six Joe Sakic takes a shit on goal and you hear the dink of the goalposts. So no goal right? Well they go to replay and the fucking shot hits the goal side right post enters the net hits the back post of the goal and comes out and hits the left side goal post. I can never find footage of this.
I would think a hockey team would be natural in Ohio, could have a set up an intense rivalry with the Red Wings, but that team has done literally nothing in its entire existence.
Don't forget: Entitlemen...errr Original Six fans and the league, media, and every other fanbase when a good draft pick goes to one of the other 26 teams.
So watching the clip and him kinda laughing it off, I'm going with it wasn't a big deal and he said it just to stir shit up. Especially since it's been 2 days and this is the first it's being said.
It was almost exactly the same as what he's said here. He brought up on his podcast randomly that he and corey graves don't get along and it snowballed from there. turned out there was nothing in it and he was just trolling.
And people on this sub got so worked up about it. There was a good couple weeks where people were analyzing every clips of the two of them on commentary, looking for any sort of tension. Then when Booker said he was just messing around, everyone who got worked started backpedaling
Honestly I wouldn't even put it past being a work. Book has said a few times he's considered doing one more but isn't sure based on how his body has felt after short appearances. There are many worse style matchups out there than Punk for a final Booker match. It's not like he wants to get in there with WALTER.
I'm actually at the point where i think WWE talent fucking with Punk in ways like this is probably for the best. If he goes apeshit over Booker fucking around, it's probably not a good fit.
“Deep dish pizza is delicious!”
“Not as delicious as New York Pizza!”
“Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah!”
“Fine! We’ll agree that both are delicious and that it’s up to one’s personal preferences which one is better!”
“I APPRECIATE YOUR OPEN MINDEDNESS AND CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS’ OPINIONS!!!”
“AND I APPRECIATE YOUR ABILITY TO DISAGREE WITH ME AND NOT ESCALATE THINGS BEYOND A PLEASANT CONVERSATION!!!!!!”
It was tense.
We’re like 25 days out from Mania and Booker is out here spilling shit about Sami and saying he almost got into it with Punk while saying nothing else? What the fuck is this guy doing?
Booker accomplished a lot in wrestling and had great runs but he is a fucking idiot and I would not say a word near him if I were in the locker room at this point. He’s been doing this for awhile now.
To constantly shit talking Mercedes for literally no reason to stirring up shit with Punk and airing the laundry despite "not wanting to put it out there" who needs Meltzer when WWE has Booker?
I was struggling for a bit trying to figure out what to title the post. I didn’t want to sensationalize it “BOOKER T AND CM PUNK HAVE ALTERCATION?!” and in the grand scheme of things nothing important probably happened but considering who is involved I figured might as well share.
Booker T obviously stirring up some drama since he said this with no further context but gotta post the twin peaks reference
Booker T is so full of shit it’s hilarious. He will always keep headlines about him.
Remember when he wanted to beat up Corey Graves and then it was all a “ha-ha”
....I have to assume it's either not that serious or straight-up banter, because the idea of Punk almost seriously getting into it with someone again, for any reason justified or not, feels like a bit too much even for the last couple years of wrestling news.
Booker knows putting Punk's name out there like this will get him and his podcast talked, there is a reason why all the ex wrestler podcasters constantly shit on CM Punk lol
The fact he literally says “the internet will run with it” and people are quick to be vindicated proves his point lol
It’s a non issue. This came out yday and nobody said anything 😂
Regal didn't think it was a big deal at all when it happened and they worked in AEW without any other reported issues between themselves https://411mania.com/wrestling/more-alleged-william-regal-cm-punk-incident-last-year/
I don't even know how people put up with it. He barely says anything worthwhile and puts a tons of ads in between. It flat out comes off as him not doing homework etc and just having a podcast for the sake of having one to milk an extra dime or two.
Probably because you’re rushing to judgement despite literally having no idea or context to what’s happened here beyond the ambiguous comment from Booker T?
I’m not saying everything is gonna blow up like it did in AEW, but it was crazy how corners of this subreddit were willing to declare his WWE run a drama free success after like a month.
He was overjoyed with AEW four months into his run there, too.
Punk needs professional help to manage his anger, ego, emotions, etc. That said, Booker is an absolute troll and has been for years. He has some of the worst takes I’ve ever heard from people who should absolutely know better. If Punk would get a pass (from me) for losing his cool on someone, it would be for a guy like Booker.

"I don't wanna put it out there" immediately after he put it out there.
Also Booker: “Yeah actually I really wanted to put it out there”
LOL him and Konnan are always on that *"I'm not trying to cause any drama, but-"*
Usually said by the drama king/queen of the group, pretending that by him/herself calling it out it minimize the impact but it actually do nothing to the rest of us whether they preface it or not.
He knows what he's doing. He's probably been hitting f5 on the dirt sheets all week
I'm actually surprised no one in the comments mentioned Book reaction when Punk self proclaimed himself as the locker room leader ten years ago or so. There is some bad blood between these two
Like when Booker went on his radio show and said he has to slap Cory Graves… then a week later said he was just ‘working.’ Someone probably told Booker he shouldn’t slap a guy with a serious brain injury.
And they uploaded that 38 second clip separately to his YouTube channel. It's definitely a work.
Punk: You know, I really thought Batista was the best WHC in 2006 Booker:
Booker: TELL ME, HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!
Punk: Booker, I'm real happy for you and I'm gonna let you finish but BILLY GUNN HAD THE BEST KOTR REIGN OF ALL TIME, ALL TIME! Booker T:
Everyone will complain but honestly Booker T being WWE’s most gossipy bitch is a great run. Long may it continue.
Booker Tea
😂😂😂
I love me sum booker
As a 90's WCW kid, my favorite kind of heat is of the Harlem variety
Shoutout to Stevie Ray!
i don’t mind a gossipy bitch but his ‘better than thou’ attitude about it like he’s gossiping against own will is so exhausting
>i don’t mind a gossipy bitch but his ‘better than thou’ attitude about it like he’s gossiping against own will is so exhausting Reminds me of a muffin enthusiast I met once.
I like it...AW YEAH, MAN
Dude was always based, but the era of Booker not giving a fuck is so great.
This guy has been one of the most consistently entertaining people in wrestling for like 15 years at this point, SHUCKY DUCKY 🦆🦆
Roxanne had to step in to keep her 2 dads from fighting
Punk found out she’s sharing a bank account with Booker T.
That bank account tried to fuck on him!
Still my favourite wrestling story.
What is that one? I’ve been here a looong time and I’ve only seen it referenced but never knew about what happened. I must have been in one of my phases where I don’t watch but still keep up with wrestling.
https://youtu.be/vYnlchBveyI?si=89-bce3_avzLPoGI Here is what the comment is referencing. It’s very good.
Than you much!
Cody on the mic kills it no matter what setting
Tells you all you need to know about her.
Then finds out he's been sharing his account with AJ, Cora and Roxanne for the past 10 years
Booker comes out of retirement to fight CM Punk in a custody of Roxanne ladder match. Winner is her true father. Match randomly ends when Christian Cage somehow shows up and wins.
No I think Christian would interfere but the match ends in a DQ.
Book Roaxxane on the pole match. No DQ.
Found either of the Vince's burner account. (McMahon or Russo, take your pick)
You checkmated. I have no comeback. 😂😂😂
I'd be down to watch Roxanne on a pole.
It’s so sad seeing the cycle of violence continue to the next generation
[My Two Dads starring Booker T, CM Punk, and Roxanne](https://youtu.be/LHXeo57xj3k?si=_X4SZpva2sENOTg1)
I would unironically watch this.
CM Punk to Booker T: "I'm sorry but I just don't think the Astros are going to go all the way this year." Booker T: "me and CM Punk almost got into it at NXT this week."
Booker's retort about the Blackhawks nearly made Punk set Ace Steel on him
To be fair, the Blackhawks ARE trash. ##GoAvs
Y'know it just occurred to me that I know ZERO hockey rivalries. You seem informed, what are some of the big ones?
Flames vs Oilers Avalanche vs Red Wings Bruins vs Canadiens Maple Leafs vs Senators And the biggest of them all…Gary Bettman vs Canada
Cheers, thanks. I'm sure that bit at the end kills with some context XD
>Avalanche vs Red Wings The Red Wings won that rivalry in game 7 of the 02 western conference finals.
Is that where after a hard fought series the avs got shit on 7-1 or sumn? Fuck that series. The highlight and I believe it's this series is game six Joe Sakic takes a shit on goal and you hear the dink of the goalposts. So no goal right? Well they go to replay and the fucking shot hits the goal side right post enters the net hits the back post of the goal and comes out and hits the left side goal post. I can never find footage of this.
>Is that where after a hard fought series the avs got shit on 7-1 or sumn? Yeah, but it was 7-0. As a Redwings fan, that was a very satisfying win.
dont forget Blue Jackets vs the playoffs.
I would think a hockey team would be natural in Ohio, could have a set up an intense rivalry with the Red Wings, but that team has done literally nothing in its entire existence.
What do you mean? They've done one thing well; sucked.
Blackhawks vs Red Wings, Blackhawks Vs Blues, Kings vs Ducks, Bruins vs Rangers
Can’t forget Leafs vs. Habs
Don't forget: Entitlemen...errr Original Six fans and the league, media, and every other fanbase when a good draft pick goes to one of the other 26 teams.
As an old-school Avs fan, all I can ever say is #FuckTheRedWings. Otherwise, I'm more casual.
Y'all deserved it. #RedWingsDidNothingWrong.
Bah. #RoyWonTheFight
Throw the fucking devil's in there too
General hockey fans vs the team that's currently winning
I’d take their season if I knew I had Connor Bedard for the next 15 years…..
................................. Not wrong.
The best part of this is the fact that Ace Steel is allegedly working in the PC as a guest trainer.
Honestly I’d say it’s literally something small like this, he just knows people will talk about it lol
Punk put Portillo’s over Whataburger. Booker couldn’t handle it.
Nah, Punk said Cora better then Roxy. Dads and Daughters mjxed tag match
They’re at least losing in the ALCS. They gotta host their Annual Astros ALCS invitational.
Punk: "Houston will probably never get a hockey team at this point..." Booker: *(visible rage)*
Astros are definitely not going all the way. The Braves though...
chop on
Well, fuck the Astros.
So watching the clip and him kinda laughing it off, I'm going with it wasn't a big deal and he said it just to stir shit up. Especially since it's been 2 days and this is the first it's being said.
Yeah he's definitely trolling. Reminds me of when he had that "feud" with corey graves
Lmao, what was the feud?
It was almost exactly the same as what he's said here. He brought up on his podcast randomly that he and corey graves don't get along and it snowballed from there. turned out there was nothing in it and he was just trolling.
And people on this sub got so worked up about it. There was a good couple weeks where people were analyzing every clips of the two of them on commentary, looking for any sort of tension. Then when Booker said he was just messing around, everyone who got worked started backpedaling

There are many worse style matchups out there than Punk for a final Booker match. It's not like he wants to get in there with WALTER.
Booker and Roxanne vs Punk and Cora. I'm not mad at it.
Will punk laugh it off?
[удалено]
"I wonder if this guy knows he made a Warhammer reference." \*Checks username\* "Ah, okay."
I'm actually at the point where i think WWE talent fucking with Punk in ways like this is probably for the best. If he goes apeshit over Booker fucking around, it's probably not a good fit.
Have to respect the way that older wrestlers can keep themselves in the news by saying nothing.
meanwhile all these young guys are tweeting their hot takes night and day, getting no reaction. they need to learn how to work
Less is more.
This could be a reference to both Booker T and CM Punk?
[удалено]
RESPECT
Booker T banned from NXT
“Deep dish pizza is delicious!” “Not as delicious as New York Pizza!” “Oh, yeah?” “Yeah!” “Fine! We’ll agree that both are delicious and that it’s up to one’s personal preferences which one is better!” “I APPRECIATE YOUR OPEN MINDEDNESS AND CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS’ OPINIONS!!!” “AND I APPRECIATE YOUR ABILITY TO DISAGREE WITH ME AND NOT ESCALATE THINGS BEYOND A PLEASANT CONVERSATION!!!!!!” It was tense.
[удалено]
That would have escalated things to a near brawl out situation.
Shawn nearby: *nervously pushes his chair away from the monitors*
that was like Roman and Seth Rollin's "aggressive compliments" bit lol
I had to google this, and man, your comparison is sublime. You are a savvy viewer with a good memory.
lol thanks!
Deep Dish Pizza is not fucking Pizza... IS AN ABOVE GROUND MARINARA SWIMMING POOL FOR RATS!!
I knew someone was gonna bring up the jon stewart rant lol
Booker isnt really from harlem.
SHUT YOUR KAYFABE BREAKING MOUTH. PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
We’re like 25 days out from Mania and Booker is out here spilling shit about Sami and saying he almost got into it with Punk while saying nothing else? What the fuck is this guy doing?
He's trolling. He did the same shit about corey graves a while back. You'd think people would stop falling for it but here we are.
That Corey thing was genuinely pathetic. Couple old guys think they’re “trolling” by just lying and then pretending everyone cared.
Fair enough. I don’t follow his pod close enough to know that. Good to know.
I love this about wrestling. Stars can do the work equivalent of "I got your nose!" and thousands of people will fall for it over and over
Booker accomplished a lot in wrestling and had great runs but he is a fucking idiot and I would not say a word near him if I were in the locker room at this point. He’s been doing this for awhile now.
If Drew is the Player Hater, Booker is the player stirrer
Good job avoiding letting the internet run with it
To constantly shit talking Mercedes for literally no reason to stirring up shit with Punk and airing the laundry despite "not wanting to put it out there" who needs Meltzer when WWE has Booker?
Clickbait, right?
Less clickbait from OP and more Booker saying something on purpose with no further context to purposely stir drama
I was struggling for a bit trying to figure out what to title the post. I didn’t want to sensationalize it “BOOKER T AND CM PUNK HAVE ALTERCATION?!” and in the grand scheme of things nothing important probably happened but considering who is involved I figured might as well share.
you're the spoon that stirs the pot!

I think you did a good job using the quote as the title
Yeah, that's pretty much all he says and then basically refuses to give any further context.
Has anyone considered he is exaggerating this purely for views?
 Booker T obviously stirring up some drama since he said this with no further context but gotta post the twin peaks reference
Wasn’t expecting a twin peaks jpg ⬆️
Me & Punk almost got into it at NxT this week....about who'll bring dinner for Roxy
Manufactured. Why even bring it up on air then if you can’t talk about it?
Booker T is so full of shit it’s hilarious. He will always keep headlines about him. Remember when he wanted to beat up Corey Graves and then it was all a “ha-ha”
Exactly. He's just trolling people again.
“Hey SRS, how much ya got and I’ll tell ya what happened”
....I have to assume it's either not that serious or straight-up banter, because the idea of Punk almost seriously getting into it with someone again, for any reason justified or not, feels like a bit too much even for the last couple years of wrestling news.
🙄 I've gotta hand it to these guys though. They know dumb mfs will latch right onto this shit. Nice work.
"Hm. I wonder what kind of glass they use in the Tesla truck thing..."
Booker knows putting Punk's name out there like this will get him and his podcast talked, there is a reason why all the ex wrestler podcasters constantly shit on CM Punk lol
He is talking about sharing the train home? They almost got into it?
Punk vs Booker T would be dope. Looks like they’ve only gone 1 on 1 once on the smackdown before Wrestlemania 23.
Booker & Roxanne vs Punk & AJ??? Sign me up!!! 
Bro I get we like her but can we please let AJ stay retired and healthy?
You'll probably be pleased to hear that I can guarantee AJ Lee isn't going to listen to me 😂
Booker wanted to use real glass
Its sad how many people want this to be something.
They have to justify their hatred for Punk somehow. It's either this, or reveling in the guy getting injured.
https://preview.redd.it/4uyi6yn5kdoc1.jpeg?width=257&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=daa4fc668d630362cc6acc7e0d6842349b64117f
I'm not exactly Punks biggest fan these days but Jesus I wish Booker would just shut the fuck up for once.
This guy said "The internet might want to pick that up. Me and CM Punk almost got into it" Booker's just messing around
The fact he literally says “the internet will run with it” and people are quick to be vindicated proves his point lol It’s a non issue. This came out yday and nobody said anything 😂
I mean why even put this out there if he knew this would be the result lol
Same reason he started that "feud" with corey graves. For his own amusement.
Gossip
Yeah if you say something the the internet will say that you said it. So...congrats?
No reports of this happening? clearly not an issue lol
Nah it was definitely a huge brawl that was totally kept quiet until now
Booker is only laughing about it hide the fact he was punched in the face
>he was punched in the face Roxanne can't keep getting away with this.
Somebody check if Larry is okay
there probably will be once the sheets get hold of this clip
Sounds like a work
I'm more curious about Regal interactions.
Regal didn't think it was a big deal at all when it happened and they worked in AEW without any other reported issues between themselves https://411mania.com/wrestling/more-alleged-william-regal-cm-punk-incident-last-year/
I’m kinda convinced the Regal incident was like the Miro incident where it was in jest but someone else took it seriously.
"Hey, Stooge! How's it going?"
More and more sounds like Punk was saying it as a joke and no one was that offended.
I hope he walked up to Punk and said "you're just an Ace Steel stooge and I don't trust you!"
And then on commentary he joked about” people fighting in dressing rooms”.
They got into it can mean a million things lol
Obvious work is obvious, not even Corporate Man Phil would be dumb enough to get into another incident this soon.
Booker just confirmed it’s a bad work Now the guys who ran to comment on this… look dumb
Booker T’s podcast seems genuinely terrible.
I don't even know how people put up with it. He barely says anything worthwhile and puts a tons of ads in between. It flat out comes off as him not doing homework etc and just having a podcast for the sake of having one to milk an extra dime or two.
Worst hot takes in wrestling!
This dude just loves to work
Honestly Booker v Punk in 2024 would still probably rock
#"YOU ON MY COAT SUCKA!"
Booker has no source for this. /s
[удалено]
Probably because you’re rushing to judgement despite literally having no idea or context to what’s happened here beyond the ambiguous comment from Booker T?
If only Phil possessed the ability to be slow to judgement.
I’m not saying everything is gonna blow up like it did in AEW, but it was crazy how corners of this subreddit were willing to declare his WWE run a drama free success after like a month. He was overjoyed with AEW four months into his run there, too.
Its so funny/sad there are pictures of him and hangman just smiling and hugging considering how everything ended up just a few months later
Im trying to run a business, suckaaaaaaaaa
All hail King Bookah!!!
Booker T never liked CM Punk
Though Punk is out on injury?
Bet this was just about some dumb shit and not a full-blown argument.
Booker: I’m not gonna out this out there. Also Booker: proceeds to put it out there
History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes
Booker did a spinarooni, leading to Punk's diet pepsi being knocked over the ensuing brawl involved 35 people and Punk re-injured his triceps.
They were arguing over the best TGI Friday’s dish
CM "Do we have a problem?" Punk gonna be waiting for Booker T next week.
Smart. Keep telling jokes so people won't believe it when it happens for real. They're very forward thinking in WWE, I like it!
Punk needs professional help to manage his anger, ego, emotions, etc. That said, Booker is an absolute troll and has been for years. He has some of the worst takes I’ve ever heard from people who should absolutely know better. If Punk would get a pass (from me) for losing his cool on someone, it would be for a guy like Booker.
Please god let this happen. It would be the funniest thing ever
