Speaking on the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T was asked about a potential match at WrestleMania. He revealed that he is not interested in stepping back into the ring after his recent cameo appearance in the men’s Royal Rumble match last week.
While Booker T looked to be in incredible shape, he confirmed that his appearance at the Royal Rumble was just a one-off, and if anything, served as a reminder as to why he needs to stay retired.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the adrenaline rush when he is in the ring: “I’m done this time, I’m serious, man. This Rumble, it let me know. You know, like I said, the adrenaline that I got out of it, the rush, what a rush it was. You don’t get tired of that, it never gets old; that never gets old. But the old body does. The old bod, you can’t push yourself too hard like that.”
On how his appearance came about: “I was sitting at the table at the kickoff show and I got a text message. It was the invite telling me, ‘Book, you’re in the Rumble…’ Something told me to bring your gear. Make sure you are ready just so you don’t have to get ready. Stay ready, and boom, there it was. The text message came through, and I said, ‘Okay, here we go’. I think Rey (Mysterio) went down and I think they had to fill that spot.”
