Former RAW Announcer Booker T Says He's Going To "Do Something" To Corey Graves If He Sees Him On The Street

Tell me he didn't just say that! We're not sure if this is a work or a shoot, but Booker T had some very stern fightin' words for fellow RAW commentator Corey Graves on the latest edition of his podcast....

Booker T was recently replaced by the returning Jonathan Coachman on the Monday night RAW announce team, and it looks like Corey Graves might be the reason why.

At the time there was speculation that the former NXT Superstar's constant jabs at Booker's... well, unique commentary style had begin to get under the 5 time WCW champion's skin, and the man himself appears to have confirmed this on the latest edition of his podcast.

Here's the transcription courtesy of Cageside Seats:


“People ask me about Corey Graves. Corey Graves is good at what he does, you know? Corey Graves, he’s thrown jabs at me, I’ve thrown jabs back, you know? And you know, the thing is Corey Graves, of course, yeah, he’s a college educated young man. His vernacular is a little different than mine. You see that word I just used? Threw that out there - just want you people to know, I ain’t studied this, it’s just something that we just threw out.

But I tell you, if I got Corey Graves into a fisticuffs, I would beat him down like he stole something. I would be whooping his ass all day long. Because that’s the thing - my thing is this. I’m a nice guy, until you get on my bad side. Corey Graves, right now, I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s on my bad side, but he’s the reason that I’m not on Monday Night Raw right now. Because, you know what, a lot of people in the company thought I was gonna jump on him, I was gonna do something bad to him, I was gonna drag him, I was gonna take him out to the woodshed, I was gonna beat that man so bad, I was gonna beat him until this man say, ‘Please, please, please, just don’t beat me any more.’ That’s how hot I was getting. That’s how close I was getting. So, they said, ‘Hey, Book. We’re gonna take - step back a second, alright? We’re gonna regroup, alright, we’re gonna press the rewind button. We’re gonna send you back to the Kickoff show of SmackDown, Monday Night Raw pay-per-views and cool you down for a second. Cause we don’t want you to do anything to Corey Graves, because we know what you could do to him. We know Corey Graves could do... he’s sitting there for a reason, man. He’s sitting there for a reason, and Corey Graves knows it.

You know what? I’ll tell you this here. I want all you people out there to know, you heard it right here Heated Conversations, Sports Radio 610, it’s probably gonna make all the dirt sheets like Meltzer and all those guys. But if I catch Corey Graves on the street, I’m gonna do something to him. Alright? I ain’t gonna do it at the office or anything like that. But if I catch him... not gonna do it in the airport, nah, I’m not gonna do that. But if I catch Corey Graves on the street? You see that little bouffant hairdo he got? I’m gonna rearrange it for him. Alright? I’m just saying. I’m just saying... Let me catch him at Starbucks. I’m a tattoo him... He’s one of those guys gonna have to walk it like he talk it... Me personally, everybody knows my reputation... I get mean, when you mess with my green. And right now, my green is being messed with, you know what I mean? So, me and Corey Graves... WrestleMania coming up, right? There’s room for one more match. Right now, on my show, Heated Conversations, Sports Radio 610, I’m calling Corey Graves out to a fight. Not a match. Not a pre-show posedown or anything like that. I’m calling Corey Graves out to a fight.”

Nobody is sure if this is a work of a shoot, but we're leaning towards the former. Booker T is still employed by WWE after all, so it seem highly unlikely that he would, for all intents and purposes, threaten a colleague live on air.

Could this be building towards a match? Graves is officially retired, but you never know.

What do you guys make of Booker's comments?
