Booker T – ‘I Really Didn’t Appreciate Big E Trying To Steal My Catchphrase’

During a recent episode of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T addressed Big E’s attempt to adopt his “Sucker” catchphrase.

Booker T admitted his lack of appreciation for the move, particularly given that he’s actively using the catchphrase. He highlighted his commitment to originality and playfully alluded to the potential repercussions if he were to respond as sternly as some other wrestling figures, like Sgt. Slaughter. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer said,

“And one thing about Sucker, it is something that’s still going, because I’m still around. I mean, of course Big E tried to steal it, you know what I mean? Which, I really didn’t appreciate that. I really didn’t appreciate Big E trying to steal my catchphrase while I’m still alive and I’m still in the company. I’m still using it. And I’m still wondering, what the hell was he thinking. Because if you wanna step on somebody’s toes, you can step on somebody’s toes real quick doing something. Look at Slaughter. I could be like Sgt. Slaughter man; you know what I mean? I could really be upset. I could stop watching the show, just because of somebody like Big E. The thing is, I was original, I was always original with my stuff… I know who to steal it from [people not in wrestling], they weren’t gonna be complaining about it. [laughs]”
