Booker T feels that former WWE star Ronda Rousey “spat in the face of professional wrestling”

During an interview with The Lapsed Fan podcast, former WWE star Ronda Rousey said the following about her storyline with Alexa Bliss…

“The fact that they had me fighting Alexa Bliss at all was f*cking ridiculous, and you wanna know why they had me against Alexa Bliss? Because she had the most merch sales at the time… Like, what the f*ck!? That’s your decision-making process?”

While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T addressed Ronda’s comments…

“Ronda Rousey is another one man. I think the wrestling world opened the doors to her, and she just spat in the face of professional wrestling. Feels like it a little bit. That’s what she’s done. You know, it’s a reason why people don’t like her, you know? I mean, I don’t hear any of her old comrades in the UFC saying anything good about Ronda Rousey, man… Nobody cares about Ronda Rousey but herself. She’s got a very, very high, you know, self-esteem, as far as you know, looking at herself a certain way. But I don’t think anybody else you know looks at Ronda that way, just because there again, I don’t know why she has so much hate and vitriol for the wrestling business.”

“A business that led her in to go out there and have moments like at WrestleMania, you know, giving her the rowdy run, the Rousey gimmick, you know, right off the bat, making her, you know, something, when so many other people wish they had a spotlight like that. I don’t get it… I really feel like Ronda Rousey was given everything in this business. I really feel like this business opened the door for Ronda Rousey to come in and and have a great time and do a thing and make a lot of money, you know, and I can almost guarantee you this, Ronda probably made more money with the WWE than she did in the UFC, I can almost guarantee you that, you know, and to spit in the face of that it’s just, it’s an insult, it really is.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
