Booker T offers simple advice to anyone who has gotten walking paper, not strangers in WWE’s annual talent reduction.
During his recent episode Hall of Fame Podcast, WWE Legend, explained the latest batch of WWE releases and why it shouldn’t come as a surprise.
“What do you know? No, it didn’t catch me off guard at all, man.” Booker said. “I mean, that’s one thing. And I hear a lot of people, you know, I just know that one comment is odd like the WWE release is strange, they shouldn’t be like this. Comments of any kind.”
Booker said that being released is part of the business and nothing new. “I was part of WWE now. It’s been a very long time, very long. There’s a list that comes up, especially after WrestleMania. Everyone’s going to be cut. He explained.
When it comes to handling WWE releases, Booker T had dull advice on Let Let Go. “You want to be on that list? Of course, it’s not. Of course, it’s not. But this is business,” he said. “And that’s one thing that you always stay behind your head and may let go sooner or later.”
Booker even revealed that he is mentally preparing for the release of the past 20 years. “I’ll talk to you right now. I was going to get that note for about 20 years. When that happens, I say, ‘Man, I’m grateful for all that I did, and I’m going to move on.’ ”
For those who feel bitter about the sudden cut, Booker urged them not to burn the bridge. “And that seems like a lot of bitterness about letting go. I get it too.”E said. “But I’ll have a chance to come to you and say, ‘Hey, mate, it’s time to wrap it up’. It’s just simple. ”
In the final word of advice, Booker reminded him that being released to Talent does not mean the end of his WWE journey. “Just because you’re released now doesn’t mean that it’s the end of your WWE career.” He said. “We’ve seen Drew McIntyre as the best example. Another example of Zelina Vega being released and seeing where she is now.”
WWE’s latest batch of releases was a tough reality check, whether it was a business move that needed to be a necessary batch of WWE’s. Raise your head and don’t burn the bridge. In the end, as Booker said, “There are a lot out there.”
