WWE NXT Commentator Booker T has clarified recent comments made about HOOK which stemmed from Tony Khan’s online outburst.
After Khan lashed out at the booking of Jinder Mahal, the WWE RAW Superstar asked “who tf is HOOK” in a since-deleted post.
Booker T would also get involved, questioning if fans could remember five wins from HOOK. On a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T clarified his point. He said,
“I don’t remember five of Jinder’s wins. I know that’s been the story out there when I said that about HOOK, but I didn’t say that about HOOK in a negative way, I was talking about Tony Khan.”
“When he [Mahal] won the world title, I don’t remember a match he won before that and I don’t remember a match he won after that. But when he won the world title, there was a moment for him, and that’s what this business is about: moments.”
“Why would I — me personally — want to say anything negative about a young kid getting into this business? That’s not me.”
On last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, HOOK unsuccessfully challenged Samoa Joe in the first title defense of the reigning AEW World Champion.
