“I’m Not Surprised” – Booker T Gives Honest Verdict on WWE Releasing Buddy Murphy

The pro-wrestling world is still feeling the aftershock of yesterday’s [June 2, 2021] WWE releases. In case you missed it, here is the full list of wrestlers who have been released: Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Ruby Riott, Lana, Santana Garrett, Buddy Murphy. Speaking on Buddy Murphy, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T made an interesting comment.

Speaking to his co-host, Brad Gilmore, on his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T talked about the various wrestlers released by WWE. But one of the wrestlers he wasn’t surprised with was Buddy Murphy.

Booker clarified he wasn’t saying he saw it coming. But he’s not surprised because Buddy Murphy did not do much for him as a performer that could make him change his mind. His words were,

“Buddy Murphy wasn’t a surprise to me at all. Not saying I saw it coming or anything, it wasn’t on the radar or anything like that. But I’m not surprised because Buddy Murphy is a guy that can work, but, there again, it was nothing that Buddy Murphy did for me as a performer that made me say, ‘Man, this guy is leaps and bounds ahead of the game, this guy is an extraordinary talent.’ Me, personally – I’m not knocking him or anything like that, guys have to figure out how to actually go out there and do that.” (H/t SportsKeeda for transcriptions)
