Booker T has had a level of success in wrestling that most grapplers could only dream of, but he knows the importance of having a backup plan.
On a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T explained why wrestlers should have plans in case things in the ring don’t work out. He said,
“You could be on top of the world one day, you know, just say, for instance, a Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy was on top of the wrestling world, you know, came in as Mr. McMahon’s son. You couldn’t get a better spot than that, and then the next thing you know, boom, something happens, and it’s all over… You could get injured, and boom, it’s all over, just like that.”
A series of injuries and suspensions would derail Kennedy’s career in WWE, and the man once poised for a World Championship run was released from the promotion in 2009.
Booker T currently serves as a commentator for WWE NXT alongside Vic Joseph. He has commentated on RAW and SmackDown in the past and is a former SmackDown General Manager.
