Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently took to his "Hall Of Fame" podcast, where he spoke about a number of topics such as how Baron Corbin stepped up during his WWE NXT Championship Match with WWE NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes and made Hayes shine and put Hayes in a position to rise up. Booker T also spoke about how being in the ring with someone like Baron Corbin is knowledge that you can't learn in any wrestling school and how Baron Corbin and Carmelo Hayes left everything in the middle of the ring last Tuesday and it was beautiful.
Booker T said:
“Let me tell you, man, that boy Carmelo Hayes was taking a beating in that match. I tell you, Baron Corbin, he stepped up. He went out there and made that young man shine. He really did put Carmelo in position to rise up.” “And I always say, when you work with a guy like a Baron Corbin, a Finn Balor, a Seth Rollins, when you’re a young guy, man, that’s like on-the-job training right there. That’s knowledge that you cannot learn in any wrestling school or anything like that.”
“So for that young man, Carmelo Hayes, him to be in the ring with Baron Corbin, that ‘Lone Wolf’ persona seems to be coming back.” “I loved it, man. I love actually sitting at ringside watching those kinds of matches, man, because those guys went out there and left everything in the middle of that ring. And it was beautiful.”
