What does Booker T think of Austin Theory's recent name-change?
The pro wrestling legend sounded off on this subject during a recent edition of his "Hall Of Fame" podcast.
Featured below is an excerpt from the episode where the two-time WWE Hall of Fame legend touches on Austin Theory's ring-name in WWE being changed to simply "Theory."
“We got Steve Austin coming back. Then you have Austin Theory, you know, it’s a mix up there a little bit. I don’t see anything wrong with it, just calling him Theory. I do understand why we don’t want to have two people walking around with the same name, even though Steve Austin is not going to be around on a regular basis or anything like that. I get it. I understand it. Is it something that I would have done as far as changing the name? I don’t know. I doubt it. I don’t know, perhaps, it’s one of those things. But I don’t think it’s going to hurt that guy at all because Austin is talent. Just watching what he does on a weekly basis, for me, I’m watching a young kid who understands the game. There’s not very many that understand the game. People can say what they want to say. They may not even think I know what I’m talking about. But when I watch Austin Theory go out and do his thing, he’s learning the ropes. He’s trying to figure this thing out. He’s trying to figure out, how do I get to that top position and stay there?”
