WWE has severely scaled back on doing live events over the last couple of years, but Booker T believes this could cause a serious issue.
On the latest episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, NXT commentator Booker T spoke about WWE’s recent decision to scale back on live events and how less time in the ring for the roster can lead to more injuries.
“Yeah, it’s a double-edged sword. It’s good and it’s good and bad in so many different ways,” Booker T said. “Giving guys and girls a little bit more time off, I think that’s a good thing. Being able to spend a little bit more time with your family, that’s a good thing. But the boys are gonna have to still be able to balance… that time off. Time off is your worst enemy.
“That’s what they’re gonna have to balance more than anything. I was listening to one of the girls just talk just last week… talking about that they need more reps. They need more reps because they’re not… they’re coming out there on television and they’re not prepared to go out there and perform at their highest level because they’ve been sitting at home.
“Preparation is the only look you’re ever gonna have. For me, I think from that perspective, it may hurt them… the injuries are going to rack up when you don’t have as much time in the ring.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
