Booker T on Calling Raw This Monday Night, Current Tag Team Scene in WWE, Why He Likes The Club, Talents in His ROW Promotion and More

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently spoke to The Roman Show, as he will be calling WWE Raw this Monday night, filling in for the absent David Otunga. Below are some interview highlights:

On calling Raw Monday night:

“There’s always pressure,” he said. “WWE is a machine. Being on Smackdown or RAW, I wouldn’t say it is not the same because they are two totally different brands, two different entities, but I am looking forward to working with Michael Cole and Corey Graves and giving it my brand of commentating. I bring my own style. I don’t speak like they do. I speak for the people. I think it’ll be refreshing. I am going to be there for six weeks for now, but you never know.

He also voiced his opinion on tag team wrestling and praised a current team:

“Tag teams aren’t made; they are born,” he said. “Seriously, I look at the Nasty Boys, Steiner Brothers, Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, Midnight express, Harlem Heat, Gallows and Anderson, these are two guys who have watched each others backs for years. They are the true blood brother tag team. They’ve been together in Japan and other places.”

He also said there are several names the world of professional wrestling should look out for from his promotion, Reality of Wrestling, which could possibly land on the WWE Network:

“It’s something that we want to do.” he said. “It’s a process. We’ve been doing it for 12 years that I’ve had my school and for about four years we’ve been on Houston television. It’s one of those things a lot of young kids are trying to get to the business. Wrestling has been that underground sport and for me I wanted to show them on how to create our own. We want to be the triple A of professional wrestling.”

Booker T was part of the Florida Supercon Retro in Miami. Florida Supercon Retro last day is April 16. Florida Supercon will take place July 27-30, 2017 at the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center.
