SmackDown Superstars Batista and Booker T got into a knockdown, drag-out fight Monday afternoon on the set of World Wrestling Entertainment’s SummerSlam commercial shoot in Encino, California. Director of WWE Television Promotions, John Gaburick, tells WWE.com the fight broke out during the filming of a scene in the commercial which will be used to promote SummerSlam later this year. “The fight lasted at least five minutes, it was a brutal, bloody, vicious affair,†says Gaburick. “It took JBL, Mark Henry, Chris Benoit, Finlay and road agent Ricky Steamboat to finally break things up.â€
Gaburick says, “Both men were banged up pretty good, both men were bloodied up.†After the fight, Booker T and Batista went behind closed doors to try and clear the air. Gaburick says both Booker T and Batista finished their required work on the commercial before leaving the set. When asked what the fight was about, Gaburick would only say “it’s a personal issue between two men.â€
The SummerSlam commercial was filmed Sunday using RAW Superstars and Monday using SmackDown competitors.
Note: No word on if this was a shoot or work. We'll keep you posted.
What the hell? I wonder if it's legit beef or setting up of an angle.. A Booker/Batista feud would prolly be interesting..
If it was legit, I wonder who won..
I would guess Batista. That guy is huge.:pipes:
Ive had years of cramped up city life,
Trapped like a duck in a pen.
All I know is its a pity life
Cant be simple again.
Lets look at this seriously. If Batista got hold of Booker he'd crush him in seconds. Total work and the reason why wwe.com will start to lose status again if it keeps up this sort of shit. They should have quietly given the site job to Joey Styles who knows how to package a site for fans instead they shout about giving it to an idiot like Cole.
This report is a little better crafted. Unfortunatly the first one completely killed the angle before it even took off.
“It was simply about respect, that’s all.” Booker T, sporting a swollen left eye, commenting exclusively to WWE.com about the bloody and brutal fight he had with former World Heavyweight Champion Batista on the set of the SummerSlam commercial Monday in Encino, Calif. It took a number of SmackDown Superstars to pull Batista and Booker T off one another in a fight that lasted at least five minutes. “I’m not going to say anything else about it. The fight had to do with respect,” says Booker.
“I have no ill will toward Dave, but I feel like he doesn’t know the history of the business that’s all. Maybe he should study the history. There’s a lot of us who paved the way in this business for men like Batista,” says Booker. “When I started, guys like Greg Gagne, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and countless others were in WCW. I walked in the locker room and had to earn their respect. It took me 16 long years, but I earned it. Respect isn’t a right, it’s a privilege.”
When asked if the two men have buried the hatchet, Booker T pointedly says, “We’ll never be friends. We’ll never exchange Christmas cards. But I will work with Dave in the ring like nothing ever happened. It’s not about us, it’s about the company and more importantly it’s about entertaining the fans. I’ll never do anything to hurt our product.”
WWE.com is attempting to reach Batista for more on this situation.
so they are gonna do a new school vs. old school thing, I take?
wwe.com is getting very strange of late. I'm not sure a site can both be work and shoot.. It can be work/shoot I suppose, but thi is a little much for me.
Why would they start a feud when Batista isent back yet?
I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong? Willie Nelson
