About this episode
This week on The Hall of Fame, Booker T isn't holding back. After the latest Wrestling Observer awards stirred up controversy, Booker addresses Dave Meltzer naming him "Worst Announcer" — and let's just say… the five-time ain't smiling about it. Booker breaks down what critics get wrong about pro wrestling, why negativity doesn't help the business, and whether categories like "Worst Wrestler" or "Worst Announcer" actually hurt the industry instead of celebrating it. Brad and Booker also dive into: The difference between fans and critics in wrestling Why commentary is harder than people think The responsibility of wrestling media And Booker's message to anyone questioning his legacy If you love straight talk, behind-the-scenes insight, and Booker T speaking from the heart, this is one you don't want to miss. 🎧 Sponsors 👉 BlueChew – Get 10% off your first month of BlueChew Gold with code BOOKER at BlueChew.com 👉 Mando – Control body odor ANYWHERE with @shop.mando and get 20% off + free shipping with promo code BOOKER at shopmando.com 👉 Lumen – Stay on track with your health this season.
