In a recent installment of Booker T’s “Hall of Fame” podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer provided his commentary on the notable Hell In A Cell showdown between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre, held at WWE Bad Blood 2024.
Noteworthy highlights from the podcast are available below:
Booker T expressed his excitement about having a front-row seat for the Hell in a Cell face-off involving CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. Noting his longstanding professional rapport with CM Punk and McIntyre, he said he wanted to witness the confrontation up close. He applauded the intensity both participants brought into the match, mentioning the significant injuries they sustained during the harrowing bout.
Discussing the graphic nature of the match, Booker T emphasized that it was inevitable in such high-stakes encounters and predicted more such ‘blood and guts’ style wrestling in future WWE matches. According to him, this trend closely imitates the old-school approach to wrestling.
In another recent episode of his “Something To Wrestle” podcast, Bruce Prichard stated his aversion towards scaffold matches pointing out their problematic visibility and high risk of injuries. He went on to lament the boredom such matches create and their notorious history of causing athletes’ injuries.
Unmasking the worst match gimmick in his eyes, Prichard designated the “King of the Hill” match as the poorly-conceived concept for a wrestling match.
