Swerve Strickland and Booker T will not be exchanging
Christmas cards anytime soon and Swerve made his feelings
known in a post-Dynasty address to the crowd in
Philadelphia.
Swerve and Booker had some difference of opinions lately
over the use of black wrestlers in WWE. Strickland has often
criticized the company for not showcasing enough black
talent on TV but Booker T jumped to WWE’s defense, saying he
has been treated fairly for two decades.
After Dynasty went off the air, Swerve thanked the crowd for
supporting him for the past several years and for helping
him main event five pay-per-views in one year.
“I don’t just speak about representation, I go out there and
prove the f*cking thing,” Swerve told the crowd. “And I only
make it this far because of you people right here chanting
‘Whose house?'”
He then had one final dig for Booker T before he closed up.
“Thank y’all for being here. Thank y’all for the
merchandise. Get home safely. And one last thing, just for
my amusement: f*ck Booker T,” he said.
Earlier, Booker T said that he opened doors and broke down
barriers for people like Swerve.
“Swerve Strickland perhaps would not even be here if it
wasn’t for me. I have to apologize for nothing that I’ve
done in this business,” Booker said, adding that we may not
hear a lot about racial issues with him because he handles
such issues head first.
