#3 Booker T commentary

What
What are you talking about Book'?

This one hurts me to say, but it's true. As an in-ring performer, I was and am a big fan of Booker T. His commentary, however, is not nearly as spectacular. I frequently go back and forth with myself on this. Booker brings a lot of energy to the announce table. As well as a wealth of experience to draw on as a someone who has practically done it all as a performer.

Despite all the positives Booker T often struggles to convey coherent thought. He occasionally says things that are factually wrong. The most frustrating thing is how he constantly contradicts himself during a broadcast; sometimes even during the same segment. Bobby Heenan (one of the best announcers of all-time) often flip-flopped during a match, especially battle royals, but when Heenan did this it felt like it was by design.

When I hear Booker T do it I just think he is not keeping proper inventory of what he is saying. When he is called out on it, he often doesn't have a response. At least not one that makes sense.

Maybe Booker T could be moved down to NXT or have some other role in WWE. Removing Booker from comentary would open up a space for Nigel McGuiness or the return of Mauro Ranallo.
