Booker T has offered his thoughts on the controversy currently brewing between Jordan Myles and WWE.

The NXT star voiced his displeasure online following the company's designing of a shirt that admittedly puts them in a bad light, and WWE's official explanation only managed to get him even more upset.

Booker addressed the issue on his Hall of Fame podcast and it appears he's bewildered at the fact that the t-shirts were printed and placed on the market without the wrestler knowing about it.

The WWE Hall of Famer added that most company merchandise is printed on black clothing and people are blowing the whole thing out of proportion.

“I don’t know how this t-shirt got out without him knowing about it,” he said. “It’s not our job to step up and defend Jordan Myles over his t-shirt.

“A lot of negative people on social media that’s looking for anything that they can possibly find to make racial. It happens all the time.”

Booker would also suggest that Myles should have handled this privately.

“I never complained to social media about any racial situation that I’ve been in and I’ll tell you right now if anybody knows me, anybody in this wrestling knows Booker T, they know exactly what I have gone through and how I’ve handled every situation," he continued.

“There’s never been a racial issue that has gone over my head or that I’ve swept under the rug. Every single time someone has said anything racial around me, I’ve handled it. And to hear this Uncle Tom crap … I’ve known Jay Lethal. Jay Lethal’s put in almost 20 years in this business, he’s no Uncle Tom.

"Ive heard people call me an Uncle Tom and if they do it, I wish they would do it to my face. Don’t do it behind those characters, don’t do it behind social media, don’t do it behind a cloak of anonymity. Do it in my face because I will show you what an Uncle Tom really looks like.”

Not Touching This With A Bargepole

Myles probably isn't going to want to hear this from Booker and we'd rather just provide Booker's take as opposed to offering an opinion given the sensitivity.

We do hope that the parties could come to some sort of resolution soon enough. But, one thing's for sure: that shirt should have never made it out there.
