The WWE Hall of Famer addressed Ricochet’s response on the Hall of Fame podcast:>“Personally, I wasn’t looking for a fight with Ricochet or anything like that, but Ricochet came back, and people were saying, ‘Ricochet fires back at Booker T.’ I think Ricochet was just stating his opinion on what he thinks about wrestling.”>“As far as—what was it—Dragon Ball Z? I’ve got the video game, okay? I’m that kind of gamer. I can tell Ricochet likes to play a lot of video games, everyone can. I know all about Dragon Ball and all that stuff. But I get where Ricochet is coming from as far as this generation and what those guys go out there and do.”>“My opinion is not going to change one bit as far as the way I see pro wrestling. Now, do I think there’s a place on the show for certain things to be done a little bit more than other places in the show? Yes—because it’s called trying to get the way a show begins, the middle, and how it finishes.”>“For me, I need to start off the show properly. Me personally, I won’t say, ‘Hey guys, I need you guys to do dives over the top, chair shots, bring the trash can out,’ because we still got a main event. That’s what I’m talking about as far as a crescendo, as far as where we’re trying to go. Do I understand where Ricochet is coming from? Yes, I get it. I understand it. And these young guys see this business different than what I do.”
>>20632330>I know all about Dragon Ball and all that stuff.nigger please.
>>20632330>Dragon Ball Z>I’ve got the video gameKek what an Uncle Tom.
>>20632338Bros never heard of budokai tenkachi
>>20632330As far as—what was it—Dragon Ball Z? I’ve got the video game, okay? I’m that kind of gamer. I can tell Ricochet likes to play a lot of video games, everyone can. I know all about Dragon Ball and all that stuff.Interesting development.Black anon of /pw/ what say you?Is Booker T still black? I know DBZ is like the bible for you guys. He clearly doesn’t know it at all.
>>20632330>I can tell Ricochet likes to play a lot of video gamesbrutal burial
>I know all about Dragon Ball and all that stuff.>I’ve got the video game
Not reading all that but I assume Ricochet said his matches look like shit cause he’s trying to be an anime and not a wrestler.
>>20632341It’s more so the series known for it’s manga and anime only gets (poor) recognition from Booker through it’s games which see far less investment or interest.100% Booker glanced at his kids or whoever playing the game in passing and that’s his knowledge of the series. He could say he doesn’t know it, but he is clearly embarrassed by his age in not knowing that or vidya.
>>20632338>>20632356It's just the boomer way of speaking. It's like older boomers calling all games "Nintendo." There's no reason to doubt he's played one of the plethora of DB games.
>>20632330>I can tell Ricochet likes to play a lot of video games, everyone can.BURIED kek
>>20632330>black guy>doesn't know Dragon Ball ZNot buying it
>>20632330>DRAGONBALLS, I'M COMIN FOR YOU; NIGGAS
>>20632345Booker's just a funny unc at the cookout who can't let the kids get one over on him. "Yeah I know dat Dragonball, Pikachu n sheit".
>>20632330I knew, these faggots were using anime fight psychology for modern wrestling. anons here would always say it's a pleb take. Shits lame in American wrestling context.
The problem is that today's finishing moves don't look devastating at all. The Steiner Screwdriver, the Ganso Bomb, and the Shaker Heights Spike are real finishing moves.
>>20632330The funny thing is if you watched DBZ it didn't actually have finisher spam and had a lot of build up and psychology in between the big moments.
>>20632800>Here’s My Kamehameha in this form>Now in this form>Now in this formBuy my toysThis show absolutely relies on finisher spam. It’s either Puncha battles or beam spam.
>>20632816The battles literally took weeks to finish.
>>20632823>It’s finisher spam AND the matches drag on foreverNot helping your case.
>>20632789I think that's part of what sold the Mask vs Mask EGA match so well, even the finisher felt serious. EGA used a spiked headbutt in the months before, hiding a metal plate under his mask. Here he was hurt and channeled his last fighting will into a self sacrificial headbutt to win.
>>20632330
You guys do know DBZ is also a video game right?
>>20632373you think it's more embarrassing to not know about dragon ball Z? Jesus zack
>>20636401Yes.Clearly Booker thinks so too.
>>20636394YesBooker does not know it comes as an anime or manga.
>>20632789Post a shoot worm.
>>20632341I Hate Myself rips
>>20632816Pretty much
>>20636462Everybody knows that, he has kids as well.>>20632373>>20632707Booker does multiple playthroughs of games and watches lore videos on them. He is surprisingly into it, he said the first time he came across a lore vid he spemt hours watching them
>>20632335Black people love dbz and yugioh
>>20632330>I can tell Ricochet likes to play a lot of video games, everyone can.Popped me
>>20632330>As far as—what was it—Dragon Ball Z? I’ve got the video game, okay?I fucking hate boomers.
Here's the things boomers refuse to accept. The genie is out of the bottle, everyone knows this shit is fake and even when you're wrestling the slow WWE style it still looks fake and retarded. So the natural progression to all of this is making it be faster and more action packed.
>>20632330Whatever happened to Ricochet? He hasn't been on tv since Bron took him out on top the hood of a car.
>>20636768based
embarrassing
>>20636816Everyone knows le genie is out of the bottle. We have unlimited evidence that going too far with the action and speed draws a few times then regular people get tired of it. Booker isn't even saying to slow it down, he says the card should be structured with variety and whatever do should foremost not step on the main event. He even says he understands why young guys do it.
>>20636680>Post a shoot worm.I don't think I can post gore on this board. The best I can do is a worked worm.
>>20632800>spends an episode squatting and yelling to power up>spend an episode punching and kicking>break episode, monologue at each other>spend the last episode doing beam spam
>>20632832I don't think you know what finisher spam means.
>>20636878
>>20636889Yeah this is an accurate depiction of DBZ fans.
>>20636892I salute (you) doubling down on your bait. But you're coming too strong and picking DBZ to be contrarian about is too much of a stretch to be believable. Welcome to 4chan and we look forward to seeing your growth and development as a based retard.
Classic case of two retards fighting
>>20636904>contrarianImagine coming to 4chan and thinking DBZ is anything other than retarded entry-level slop. You zoomers have lost your minds and this place needed to be gatekept harder.
>>20632330>Dragon Ball>Dragon Ball ZBut what about Dragon Ball GT?
>>20636914>DragonballA Classic>Dragon Ball ZA Toy Commercial>Dragon Ball GTA zombie soulless husk the creator isn’t involved in that exists because they didn’t want to stop missing out on DBZ money.I am not surprised that as soon as the creator died(was killed), They started on DBZ babies.Buy more toys>Look at Goku’s hair! It’s another color now! Buy the merch!
>>20636913This, anime is for serious people like myself
>>20636798>He is surprisingly into it, he said the first time he came across a lore vid he spemt hours watching themThe visual of Booker T sitting in his living room, in a big ass chair, huge bowl of cereal watching a 6 hour Nobbel video about the fall of Arthas just nodding along is amazing
>>20636942Hence he was on the frozen throne turning into a necromancer>Then booker stands up due to excitement and does a spinaroonie
