Two-time WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T took to his podcast, “The Hall Of Fame,” to discuss several professional wrestling topics. Booker offered his thoughts on Bray Wyatt’s “fiend” character, not believing it’s a repackaging of Wyatt, how far he has come since being the leader of The Wyatt Family, and his prediction for the King Of The Ring tournament.
Here are the highlights:
Not believing Bray Wyatt’s “fiend” character is a repackaging of Wyatt: “I don’t think it is repackaging with Bray Wyatt. I think Bray is one of those guys that he knows how much to give you,” Booker said. “He is not going to give you all of his full body of work. Some guys, literally, in 10 minutes, you see their entire resume. I’m talking about everything from top to bottom, but in those same 10 minutes from Bray Wyatt, you may see a tenth of his full capabilities. And that is the art of a true worker.
“I was one of those guys that I would do something and I wouldn’t do something new for 3-6 months, and then drop something else,” Booker continued. “[I would] keep working and then 6 months later, drop another thing on them, and the fans were like, ‘Man, how does he keep coming up with all of this stuff?’ It was stuff that I had in the bag that I didn’t use, and that is what Bray Wyatt has mastered. Being able to go out there and give you what you need in that point of time. I totally understand that you have to totally work certain levels and Bray Wyatt has mastered the art of working at different levels.”
How far he has come since being the leader of The Wyatt Family: “The fans want to be totally drawn in. The fans want to be able to feel that moment and say, ‘Wow!'” Booker said. “You remember when Wyatt came back and they did that 3-D thing? That was the talk of the town, and that is what evolving is. When you have the machine behind you, and they are able to create those special effects, and then you have the capabilities of a Bray Wyatt as far as how his mind can go – I am looking forward to seeing how far we can really take it with Bray.”
King Of The Ring prediction: “I was watching Drew McIntyre earlier when they announced The King of the Ring tournament,” Booker said. “I see Drew McIntyre as The King: The Scottish King coming out with the robe, which is my opinion.
“There are a lot of guys in the tournament, but I see Drew McIntyre ascending to another level which is why I say that the fans are going to win at the end of the day, because the locker room is about turning it up right now and seeing how far we can push ourselves, and how far we can really go as far as a unit. That is the love of the game that I love and miss so much.”
