Booker T offers his ideas on Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar.
Cody Rhodes completed his chapter with Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam, defeating “The Beast” with three Cross Rhodes to win the trilogy, 2-1. The rivalry began the evening after WrestleMania 39 when Lesnar turned on Cody after initially agreeing to be his tag group associate in opposition to Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa.
Talking on his Corridor of Fame podcast, Booker T gave his ideas on the bout.
“It was an ideal match. It didn’t have an entire lot of leaping off or something. It was simply two guys going on the market, fisticuffs, preventing. The storytelling was actually, actually superior. The Rocky Balboa versus the Russian got here in there for a second, that by no means say die Rocky perspective, you possibly can simply beat on me and beat on me, I’m gonna discover a method to win. It was poetic, it was nice. It was a kind of matches that each man on the cardboard, in the event that they’re questioning what it means to work at a primary occasion degree, have a look at that match, and it’ll inform you all the pieces you’ll want to know as a result of wrestling is the artwork of going out and creating the phantasm of a struggle, an actual struggle, and people guys, they did that for me,” he stated.
Booker continued, “It’s a kind of issues, man, these type of tales, they by no means die. These tales, I believe wrestling followers can respect forevermore as a result of that’s what wrestling is, actually making you’re feeling such as you’re watching one thing that’s actual. You understand precisely what it’s, you realize what you paid to see. However when these guys make you’re feeling like that, you possibly can’t wait to see extra, and that’s the fantastic thing about this factor known as wrestling. It’s the Shakespeare, the Romeo and Juliet, the Phantom of the Opera half for me that makes me go, ‘Man, I like this enterprise.’ Brock Lesnar, what a employee. What a rattling employee. I imply, come on. Brock ought to get the award of the yr, so far as employee of the yr, so far as I’m involved. That’s how good he actually made that match on Saturday evening.”
After the bout ended, Lesnar shook fingers with Cody, in an unplanned second based on Triple H.
Talking on the embrace by Brock, Booker stated, “I understand how good Brock is. It simply tells me how far he’s come. He’s come a great distance. He is aware of what the enterprise is about. He is aware of that it’s not about him. That’s the half that I respect greater than something. He understands about passing the torch and passing it correctly. It was simply actual, it was as actual because it may presumably be, that match, from prime to backside, from the start to the tip. You may’t draw it up like that, I don’t assume, actually. You bought your blueprint so far as the way in which you wish to go, however that was like old-school, with the ability to take heed to the followers and comply with the breadcrumbs like Hansel and Gretel.”
