What did Booker T think of the in-ring return of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to the squared circle on "The Grandest Stage of Them All" this past Saturday night at night one of "The Most Stupendous Two-Night WrestleMania in History?"
Let's find out straight from the horse's mouth.
The horse dropped a new episode of his Hall Of Fame podcast following the special premium live events held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas over the weekend, during which he gave a review of "The Showcase of the Immortals" like only Booker T can.
Featured below is an excerpt from the show where he touches on the return of "The Texas Rattlesnake" for an impromptu unadvertised in-ring comeback for the first time in many years.
“Kevin Owens man, he deserves an Oscar for the work that he put in on that night. Seriously. Kevin Owens, and I’ve said it for a long time now that he is one of the best guys on the roster. He is what professional wrestling is. He is what a professional wrestler does.
“When I watched the beginning of that thing, and I don’t want to give any of our tricks away or anything like that, but when I watched the beginning of that match, I just watched the magic of Kevin Owens. Stone Cold Steve Austin definitely played his part. He played his part very, very well. But for me, if I was coming back to do a match, it definitely would be a guy like Kevin Owens or a guy like Seth Rollins.
"I need one of those types of guys that knows what this business truly is. I can’t speak highly enough about that veteran Kevin Owens going out there and taking care of business the way he did and Stone Cold Steve Austin for sucking it up and giving that crowd in Dallas, Texas where he started his career. He went out there and did it like a champ and I commend him for it.”
