Alicia Fox = Female Booker T? (HEAR ME OUT)

[knocturnal]

Now I know that there the only true similarities between the two are that they are both in the WWE. But it hit me recently that Alicia does two variations of Booker's old finishers. She does the Axe kick and she does a flipping leg drop a.k.a The Harlem Hangover (well not from the top rope not like Booker T but you get what I mean). Do you think this was done by design or is it just a coincidence?

 

[Big Papa Santo]

And that makes her the female Booker T how? Bobby Lashley did a spear does that make him the black Edge? Chavo Guerero does the Frog Splash does that make him the Mexican RVD? And i'm slowly starting to think that if she was white then you wouldn't say this

Of course not and I'm not truly serious in the comparison so calm down. I just found it interesting that two of her signature moves are two of his as well. But if Lashley started doing a spear AND an edgecution ddt then yeah I would think that was weird. If Chavo did the frog splash AND rolling thunder then yup I would say the same thing.

All of those people you mentioned above did ONE move done by many other people but not two moves done by the same superstar that they are known for (except for chavo who does the frog splash out of respect to Eddie not RVD and the three amigos as well). If someone started doing the punt AND RKO/Diamond cutter or the second rope DDT as their signatures/finisher wouldn;t you think Orton. If someone started doing multi german suplexes AND a diving headbutt in their moveset wouldn't you think benoit.

I just found it interesting to see another Superstar use TWO variations of signatures that were used by someone else.

Wow lol this is funny.

There is a possibility that "My girl Alecia Fox" may have decided to adapt her in ring moveset to be more like Booker T and may have done that to ither please a Legend who helped her out, or Please the idiots in the crowd ( like you ) who may put black and black together and get a Booker T nostalgic erection whenever she does an axe kick.

But weather or not Alecia Fox has absolutely anything to do with Booker T, is not even worth discussing. The Axe Kick is a move made famous by Booker T... and that is where the similarity ends.

John Cena does a top rope LegDrop... is he Matt Hardy in disguise?
Ziggler does a Fame Asser, is he Mr Ass incarnate?
Ziggler does a sleeper hold.... is he every wrestler who ever wrestled Hulk Hogan?
Kane does a Chokeslam... is he Undertaker and Big Show rolled up into the same being?
Need I go on?

Need you go on, No, first off her name is Alicia not Alecia. Second she does an Axe Kick AND she does a flipping leg drop and if you saw Booker T during his younger years in WCW (and his mania match with HHH) you know he used to do a flipping leg drop from the top rope called the Harlem Hangover. I thought it was odd that two of her signature moves/finishers were also two of his as I stated in the TWO above posts. I don't know why you bring the race thing into this equation since I'm black my damn self I don't think their race has anything to do with the comparison. Again as I stated ABOVE TWICE, it is weird to see a wrestler take TWO signature/Finishing moves from a wrestler that they are known for.

In all your examples you used Wrestlers that used one move that others may be known for not Two so pay attention to full posts before trying to be a smart ass. The only other wrestler I can think of that do something like that are usually wrestlers that are paying honor to others that have passed like Chavo doing the Frog Splash AND the Three Amigos in honor of Eddie, not just one.

Like I said above if you saw someone do a twist of fate and a swanton bomb regularly that wasn't name Jeff Hardy in the same move set on a consistent basis wouldn't he come to mind.

Need I say more...

Nah. Save for Beth, Natalya and MAYBE Eve, noe of the divas can compare to even Booker T. They just can't. They all do something some superstar has done in the ast.

Prime example: Eve. She from time to time obviouslly uses someone else's move by finishing with the Twist of Fate. Does that make her the female Jeff or Matt Hardy? Of course not. (just as an example) Just because I know how to do the Walls of Jericho doesn't make me the youbg, female Jericho. It just means I can copy moves well and get them riht. Alicia is no Booker T. She's just kind of annoyingly sweet.

 

[Paralyzer Z]

Due to the fact that she has a some-what similar move-set to Booker T you assume she is the next female reincarnation of the man himself?

It doesn't matter what move-set you've got for one. Batista had the Powerbomb, does that make him a Vader knock-off? Cody Rhodes uses the Alabama Slama, does that make him a carbon copy of Bob Holly? No it does not. Move-sets are not relevant in the decision of another Superstar is so similar to another that they can be considered "The next (insert name here)". That depends on personality. You know why there are many comparisons between Hulk Hogan and John Cena? Cena does none of the moves Hogan did but they share a similar personality . They both catered to the younger demographic when they were the top stars in WWE/F, so they can be deemed similar. The same can be said for Punk and Austin, while not as large of an extent as Cena/Hogan. Both Punk and Stone Cold have a Bad-ass type, Anti- Authority characters. They don't share practically any moves, yet they are still deemed similar. Fox has a bland Diva Character, Booker T has the character of.... Booker T (whichever way you want to explain it). Fox is not the next Booker T plain and simple, their personalities are nothing alike.

...

So having said all that... apologies for a name misspelled but other than that the rest of your argument.... proven by other members of this forum is INVALID.

I watched BOOKER T in Harlem Heat in WCW all those years ago and I did indeed see him do a Harlem Hangover.... the fact still remains that by using a few moves from the moveset of another wrestler still does make you the next THEM.

Is Floyd Mayweather the next Muhamad Ali because he uses his left AND right hand to punch with?

Need I say more?

 

[Paralyzer Z]

And add to that the fact that on the mic she talks like a female Booker-T.

Alicia foX speaking for a bit in this video:

They don't really sound alike. Fox sounds more a generic female (similar to the Bellas) with her voice. Booker on the other hand sounds like a loudmouth ass kicker SUCKA!! He shows much more emotion and charisma than Fox can dream of showing in his promos, thus they don't sound alike.

 

[Unsold Bacon]

Really? Really? If you actually believe this your a fool. Superstars share finishers, accept it. Now go and proclaim that Michelle McCool is the female AJ Styles.

 

[XXJJ]

IMO Alicia is awful. She botched her finish with Natty and they had to shoot it again on SD, and she gave Beth a swollen face tonight on Raw.

The entire diva division is trash. I know people like Beth but I find her extremely boring and dull.

 

[One to Remember]

so what if ur Black your basis for the comparison was trash.. She shares none of his demeanor, his intensity, his mannerisms, his charisma, or his accolades. When she starts proclaiming shes a five time, five time, five time, WWE World Divas Champion then we will take another look at this topic. If anything she reminds me of Rhianna not Book.. Based on your logic I GUESS Razor Ramon was the forerunner to Sheamus because they both use a Razor's edge..

 

[Mustang Sally]

I don't see similarities between Alicia and Booker, except that both are long and lanky in build, which is what the OP might be basing this theory on.

As for Alicia; she's coming along. Her moveset is better than it was, and the timing of it might correspond with Goldust taking over the diva's training. He seems to have coached her in the method of taking a spill. Earlier, she seemed to fall in sections, not knowing how to cushion the blow by absorbing the bump with her whole body. It looked painful, and probably was.

Still, she has her botches and they always seem to stick out. Last night, Alicia looked really bad in trying to sail over Beth; she lost balance and fell on her butt, missing Beth as she went by. Then, that forward somersault which kicked Beth in the head was really awful. If she can't master that move, she'd better abandon it before someone really gets hurt.

I love that you mentined this because I posted somewhere a few months back that Alicia Fox is the BEST move-seller in wrestling today. lol That's how painful every hit she took looked..I actually cringed watching her take punishment from other divas. So like you said, either she was not yet skilled enough to know how to lessen the blow of an attack (i.e. anticipated reaction) or she's really awesome at it. haha

As for the similarities between her and Book, other than both being Black, I don't see any. She's not "weird" like his character is, she doesn't have a string of face paced attacks, and she isn't deep enough in whatever her character is supposed to be to carry a meaningful promo on the mic. That said, I really do enjoy her improvement.

 

[One to Remember]

how is booker t weird to u..?

 

[JohnJohnson]

Why does everyone that tries to refute the comparison bring up examples of superstars using one signature move when the OP clearly emphasized the usage of both signature moves, not one! Again that's two(2) signature moves not one(1). Which considering that Divas only use about 4 moves a match is half of her moveset. I think half of her moveset being Booker T's signature moves qualifies this comparison. As far as her personality goes, try this: Remove Natalya and Beth from mind and name me a diva that does have character and personality? Hell a generic slender smiley face diva is the divas division equivalent of an athletic charismatic face performer. By those guidelines I'd say yes she's comparable.

.....oh and she's black.

 

[sanefan_har]

Wow so that was your conclusion????

Mark Henry uses a splash and a bearhug, that definitely doesn't make him a modern day Ultimate Warrior.

Just realise that it is impossible for WWE or any other wrestling industry to create individualistic signature moves for every wrestler/diva. There will be variations of the same move but never an entirely new move.

 

[boywithbluehanger]

how is booker t weird to u..?

He often rambles on when asked a question without really answering it, he often makes himself the butt of a joke, and he's an overly-enthused loud talker. I've certainly met people with these qualities in life but most of the many people I come across do not share these qualities while sober. This is why I find his character weird instead of normal. (And it should be noted that I enjoy it)

And Alicia Fox doesn't share these qualities. Hope that answers your question. However, given the fact that your whole post was just based on one thing I said, you probably didn't just ask me for my opinion but more so to express your disagreement of it.

 

[D-Man]

They must be completely alike!! They're both black. EUREKA!!

 

[ABMorales787]

Well I'm listening but I can't hear anything. Must be because this is all in text.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

But Booker T isn't shit so...

 

[knocturnal]

So for all of you that called me an idiot if you watch smackdown tonight after Alicia wins her match Michael Cole calls her BOOKER T JUNIOR!!!!!! As I was trying to say before a billions times before, I'm not saying that she is in the same league as Booker T when it comes to skill, I was saying that the WWE was trying to make her into a female Booker T and the fact that she was called BOOKER T FUCKING JUNIOR proves the point I was trying to make several weeks ago. Now can you dig that....

 

[#hamler]

Who cares? Like seriously? Why on earth does a comparison between Booker T and Alicia Fox mean anything to you? Alicia clearly isn't over as Booker, she isn't as good as Booker, and she's complete shit. Sure there are some similarities but the differences definitely out weight them. I'm not sure why you're so hung up on this. They aren't alike.

She still doesn't share much of his personality.

As for the "BOOKER T JUNIOR" line, it's just another one of Micheal Cole's lines that are intended to annoy you.
