Russo and Gilbertti talk about the recent drama between Corey Graves and Booker T. Gilbertti thinks Graves was very disrespectful towards Booker T on television. He points out that Graves’ tactics didn’t appear to be a work; he was semi-shooting on Booker T knowing full well that Booker T couldn’t really come back the way he’d like to because they were on live television. Gilbertti adds that Graves is also empowered by the dirt sheet writers who love him, when in reality he’s not that good.
Russo points out that McMahon probably doesn’t want Booker T speaking out about Graves the way he did this past week, but Booker T has a lot of rope given his history in the business and his years of service to WWE. Russo thinks that Graves is a young punk who disrespected Booker T one too many times.
Russo doesn’t think this is a work, and he’s sure if Booker T had a minute alone with Graves he’d teach him a lesson or two about respect. Russo says he’s pretty sure that Graves doesn’t even know his role as an announcer on WWE programming.
That sums up today’s episode of Vince Russo’s The Brand. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya tomorrow for another recap!
