Booker T hit back at Hulk Hogan for his remarks on Covid-19 vaccines. Hogan had said that celebrities like Betty White and Sidney Poitier died after taking the vaccine. Booker T did not take kindly to those comments and said that people who lack information should refrain from commenting on such vital issues.

"It's amazing some of the stuff people say when they just don't know. I really don't have a whole lot of respect for someone saying something like that, especially when they have no idea what happened to this person or not," said Booker T.

He also urged his co-host, Brad Gilmore, to stop him if he ever starts saying something "stupid and radical" because of his age.

Kurt Angle recently weighed in on the comparisons drawn between WWE RAW Superstar Robert Roode and veteran Triple H. Angle feels that the parallels between the two superstars are justified as they both have similar builds and move in the same way.

"They are identical in a lot of ways. They move the same way. You know, they are built almost the same way. I think they have a lot of things in common with each other," said Kurt Angle.

He also said that he never doubted Robert Roode's success in WWE. Angle feels that the latter's mannerisms and work made him look like a star right from the beginning. Roode currently works alongside Dolph Ziggler in RAW's tag team division.
