Earlier this month, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T claimed that his Royal Rumble 2023 appearance in San Antonio, Texas would be his final match in the squared circle. Now, on the latest edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, the two-time Hall of Famer confirmed the statement. He said,
“I just retired and I just put my retirement gear up on eBay. We looking for a stiff, stiff penny for the retirement gear of Booker T and I did that because I’m done. I’m finished. I don’t want to see tights, I don’t want to see those boots, knee pads. Everything is going, one, one lump … that walk to the ring at the Rumble, that blew me, okay? I was done after that. They could’ve just threw him out of the ring as soon as I got in.”
Booker T, lasting less than a minute, was eliminated by Gunther in the 2023 Royal Rumble match.
