Charles Barkley has been watching WWE recently, and he has some thoughts.
Barkley is an 11-time NBA All-Star and a former MVP. He is a two-time inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Barkley also made the All-NBA First-Team five times.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, Charles Barkley noted that RAW commentator Pat McAfee was just in Montreal. He then noted that he has been watching WWE in recent months, and he has been impressed by The Rock.
“I’ve been watching y’all for the last few months, and let me tell you something, man,” Charles Barkley said. “Has The Rock got the best personality, charisma on television? Obviously Roman and Cody and all those guys are fantastic. But The Rock has the best, like he got that thing. When you see a player, you’re like, oh yeah, he’s different than everybody else. When you see The Rock perform, you’re like, damn, he’s good. His personality, when he’s talking, you’re like, ‘Oh yeah, I gotta watch this.’
“I love Cody, I love Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins. I love Roman Reigns and…Uso. But Rock, man, when he’s on television, he’s got that, he’s always had it, but for him to come back and do his thing like he did for all this stuff the last couple months, I’m like, damn, man. He got the charisma bug.”
Charles Barkley On Chad Gable
Charles Barkley went on to reiterate that he liked watching The Rock. He said that he played the heel perfectly. McAfee asked him if he saw Sami Zayn’s entrance on Monday. Barkley noted that he was ready to “whoop” Chad Gable for attacking Zayn in front of his family.
“I was impressed. I’ve known him, we’re not great friends, but I’ve known him for a long time,” he said. “When I saw him, I was like, yo, man, he’s got that thing. When he’s working, I want to watch. He played the heel perfectly. But his charisma, man…I’ve been watching a lot lately.
“I was gonna fly up there and whoop Gable’s ass. That man whooped his ass in front of his wife and parents, man. I didn’t like that at all. You can’t kick a man’s ass in front of his wife and parents, man. I didn’t like the ending. You can’t kick a man’s ass at his house, man. That’s bad karma.”
