Former five times WCW World Heavyweight champion Booker T teamed up with A&E for two new programs – “WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures” and “Biography.” A lot of big names will be featured in the said A & E Documentary’s biography section.
With the likes of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Booker T, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Mick Foley, and The Ultimate Warrior, it will be an interesting movie to have a look at.
Booker T Discusses His A & E Documentary
During a recent edition of the Hall of Fame podcast of Booker T, he discussed this documentary. He said,
“I’m looking forward to letting the world see what Booker T was like as a youngster and where he came from. The foundation I was built on, it was real, being on the streets and seeing it live up close and personal. You’re talking about the bright lights of these big arenas when it’s filled with 50,000 people and people are going crazy.
Bright lights for me was on the streets of The Waterfront back in the day and watching everything go on. It was literally like a fiesta, like a Mardi Gras, every weekend from a perspective. I understand what life is really, truly all about being able to see it up close and personal the way I did.
That’s what the documentary talks about. It definitely doesn’t glamorize what I went through or anything like that, but it definitely shows, as far as, you can see the bottom of the bottom and you can rise above it. You can make it up out of there.
That’s what my story, I think, entails more than anything and that’s the story that I was afraid of getting clouded a little bit just because of the way I did come up, one can think one is glamorizing that, but no, that’s not it at all.”
There was a rumor for quite a long that Booker T is in talks for working on a project with WWE but it was not confirmed earlier. But now, the rumor was only about this A & E documentary.
It would be interesting to see so many legends getting featured in a single documentary. However, it is not confirmed yet if it will be a single piece of video or a full series. But no matter how they present it, fans will be pretty much excited about it.
