Booker T Apologizes For Owen Hart Comment On RAW

Booker T has apologized to fans who may have been offended by a comment he made on Monday’s WWE RAW about Owen Hart.

During Neville’s match with Luke Harper, JBL commented that Neville could become the first “high-flying” King of the Ring. “Of course Owen was a high-flyer, but not like this,” JBL said.

Booker T then responded, “He couldn’t defy gravity,” a reference to Neville’s ‘man who gravity forgot’ moniker.

A lot of fans criticized Booker T on Twitter for the comment, noting that it was insensitive due to Owen’s tragic fatal incident. In response to the backlash, Booker T tweeted:

I would never say anything to disrespect the legacy of Owen Hart. If I did offend anyone, I apologize.
