Booker T recently sounded off on some news and notes stemming from the world of pro wrestling on the latest edition of his Hall Of Fame podcast.
During the show, the two-time WWE Hall of Fame legend spoke about Cody Rhodes being a free agent, the possibility of Cody appearing in the Royal Rumble match, his past Stardust gimmick and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the show.
On Cody Rhodes being a free agent: “I just thought it was another news site printing something that perhaps wasn’t true. Or was true in a certain aspect but, like you just said it might be a technicality or something like that. But the first thing I’m thinking, ‘Cody is not going to leave AEW, not right now. I think I heard Cody talking about his injuries not too long ago, and of course, he doesn’t have a lot of years left in the business. But I would suspect Cody would have at least, three to five left if he wanted. Even if it was just him pushing himself to actually do it, I think he could pull that off.”
On Rhodes most likely not appearing in the Royal Rumble: “Let me tell you something, that’s wishful thinking, that’s not going to happen. That’s not going to happen in a million years. Let’s not get people hyped up. I just don’t see it happening, I don’t see any AEW activity in the Royal Rumble or anything like that. There again, I could be wrong. But I just don’t think something like that is going to happen at this time. AEW is out definitely on their own wing right now doing their own thing. I just think something like that would muddy the waters like crazy. The fans would lose their minds more than anything.”
On the Stardust gimmick: “I don’t know if you know what Cody really thinks about Stardust. But he wanted to get that gimmick off of him in the worst way. He went as far as leaving the company to actually get it done. So I don’t think you would want to backtrack and try to recreate that thing, because you can back yourself in a corner.”
