Booker T Responds On A Potential In Ring Return
During the 90s, when the Monday Night Wars was the hottest thing in the world of professional wrestling, WCW mostly trusted on readymade stars. Only a few names that were actually created by WCW in that time, such as Goldberg and Booker T.
Booker remained with WCW till the very last date of the promotion and he became one of the biggest stars of it. After the death of WCW, he joined WWE and went on to become one of the biggest legends for the promotion. In 2001 he came to WWE and he won his fifth WCW World Heavyweight Championship reign during his first year in WWE.
At first he was treated as a main event star, then in 2002 he was turned to an upper mid card. He challenged Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania XIX but he failed to win it and he remained a mid card star.
In 2004, he joined Smackdown and turned heel and that was the beginning of his main event push. It all started with his King of the Ring win in 2006 and on the same here he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
That was his only reign as a World Champion in WWE. In 2007 he joined TNA Wrestling. He was treated as a main event start in TNA but he could never win the World Championship in TNA. After leaving the promotion in 2010, he never wrestled regularly for any promotion.
Of course he made some sporadic appearances every now and then but he was out from regular professional wrestling action. In 2013 he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and in 2019 he got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame once again as a member of the Harlem Heat.
Booker T who is a former five times WCW World Heavyweight champion recently spoke to D-Von Dudley’s Table Talk podcast where he talked about a potential in ring return. He revealed that he would never return to action and he explain why he does not want to. He said;
“Yeah, forget about it. I stay in this kind of shape because I stay away from the wrestling ring. Even when I do the [WWE] Kickoff show, right? You will not find me within 50 yards of the wrestling ring.
“I haven’t been in a WWE wrestling ring since 2014 and I got a phobia about getting back in the ring. That was a great life for me, but I don’t have any itch to scratch anymore man. Life was good then but I’m embracing where I’m at right now in life, being a boss, you know what I mean?
“And taking charge and trying to create, you know, memories and moments for the next generation but you know man, we had our time in the sun man. We had our time. It’s no reason to try to go back and rehash greatness and touch that. No reason.”
