Booker T gave his thoughts on various topics on his latest Hall Of Fame podcast.
During it, the WWE Hall Of Famer talked about the mass round of talent cuts on Thursday. Here are the highlights:
On Mustafa Ali’s WWE release after he asked for it:
“Did I see it coming? No, but I’m not surprised by anything that happens when it comes to guys getting released. Yeah. It’s just like Mandy Rose didn’t see that coming. When it happens, it happens quickly, and it’s always been that way in this business as far as guys being on that list of guys getting released. You know and it’s always a really, really touch-and-go time of the year. It’s not a it’s not a fun time of the year at all, you know? So I get it. I totally understand it. But I didn’t see Mustafa’s name come up or anything. It wasn’t like, this guy rocking the boat didn’t see that or anything. But you never know what’s going on behind the scenes as well as with this merger.”
On WWE making the cuts:
“They’re going to be looking to trim a lot of fat. They’re going to be looking to. Hey, do we really need these guys? So that’s why I say I don’t take myself out of that category when it comes to, when guys get released when a merger happens because it’s business. And if you look at this thing as anything other than a business, you can find yourself out in the cold wondering what happened. That’s why for me, I have several jobs. That’s why I’m Hustlin all the time. I’m like Nipsey Hussle Grindin’ all my life sacrifice, hustle. Paid the price. Yes, that’s what I’m all about.”
