Matt Riddle has responded to Booker T\’s comments stating how \”The Original Bro\” shouldn\’t be wrestling in his bare feet. During a recent episode of Booker T\’s podcast, The Hall of Fame, he suggested how Riddle is doing himself a disservice by not wearing wrestling boots.
According to Booker T, the lack of footwear was one of the first things he noticed about Riddle. It didn\’t leave a positive impression, as he stressed how \”that\’s not the look of a world heavyweight champion.\”
The Hall of Famer argued how \”There is a protocol there\” in what makes a Superstar World Heavyweight Champion material. \”How many World Heavyweight Champions were bare feet [while wrestling]? How many of them were greater than Superfly Jimmy Snuka?\”
Booker T continued, \”I\’m just saying if you\’re trying to get to the World Heavyweight Championship or Universal championship, there has always been a certain look that you must have. When I\’m talking Matt Riddle, I\’m thinking from a promoter\’s perspective. That\’s all I\’m thinking about.\”
Word of Booker T\’s comments clearly made its way to Riddle. The Raw Superstar took to Twitter to share a photo of himself alongside a caption reading, \”My face whenever Booker T speaks, also my face when I\’m not on the raw survivor series team, congratulations to Sheamus #stallion #wwe #raw #bro.\”
Matt Riddle recently lost to Sheamus on Monday Night Raw. Sheamus\’ victory means he gets to represent Team Raw at WWE\’s upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view.
