WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has reacted to the controversial cocaine spot from the NWA that has reportedly landed the promotion in hot water.
The spot in question saw NWA Samhain pay-per-view host Father James Mitchell snort what appeared to be cocaine, which reportedly caused issues with the CW Network.
On a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T shared his reaction to the spot and gave a plug to his own promotion. He said,
“Putting on shows is not easy, trying to fit into what’s going on now, always talking about, you know, if you don’t know how to change with the times, the times pass you by. Everything is like shock TV to them, you know, it’s like jumping off something and taking a bump. You know, then the fans going, ‘This is awesome.’ Everybody’s looking for that instant coffee, that one thing that is going to make their show pop, you know, more so than the next show.
“I just want to let … just in case CW is listening, we have a small little show called Reality of Wrestling that would love that spot, and we ain’t doing no cocaine angles.”
Booker T added that he would not have done an angle like this as he has seen the effect cocaine has had on people.
When the NXT commentator learned that Billy Corgan had reportedly green-lit the segment, Booker T suggested that he may have partaken in the drug.
