Booker T Wants Lio Rush To “Get His Game Right” And Take The Heat Off Himself

Booker T discusses the locker room heat on Lio Rush.

Raw superstar Lio Rush has been in the headlines recently with multiple reports citing his backstage behavior and how it’s earned him heat in the WWE locker room. You can view Fightful’s full recap of the reports, as well as Rush’s most recent statement addressing the reports, by clicking here. 

On the most recent episode of his Hall of Fame radio, Booker T gave his thoughts on Lio’s reported heat.

“(Lio Rush) has been in a good position, working with Bobby Lashley. It seems like he would be on top of the world in that position. But, sometimes, you can start believing in your own press clippings,” said Booker. “One thing about WWE….it’s their show. If you learn how to work inside ‘the game’ and know how to get in and stay in ‘the game,’ at the end of the day, you make a lot of money. I just don’t know when people stop thinking about the endgame.”

Booker continued, “Guys in WCW thought they were really big stars until the doors closed. Then they had to find work somewhere else. A lot of those guys never worked in a major company ever again. You know why? It wasn’t about them. There are so many guys looking to take that spot that you have. If you’re in a position to make as much money as you can and you’re worried about what someone else is doing…it just confuses me. I hope he can get the heat off of him because he’s very talented. Great talker as well as a great worker. There’s money there for this guy to be making for a long time. LIO! Get your game right.”
