As noted, WWE has announced Booker T as the person who will be inducting his wife, Sharmell, into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
Prior to the announcement being made, Booker T spoke with Mike Johnson of PWInsider last week about his wife possibly getting honored as a WWE Hall of Fame inductee this year, as well as his thoughts on being the person to induct her.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the discussion where he touches on these topics.
On his wife being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame: “Man I tell people all the time, Sharmell has definitely been underrated for what she’s done in the business, for the business. I tell people all the time there would have never been a King Booker run if it wasn’t for Sharmell – that thing was created around her. My career was definitely furthered with Sharmell by my side. I don’t think we would have ever seen that character if it wasn’t for Sharmell, as well as you know, the small things that one does for this business. We have Reality Of Wrestling – we’re definitely thinking about the next generation of professional wrestling. Definitely I think she’s worthy of being in the Hall of Fame, plus she’s my queen.”
On possibly inducting Sharmell after previously paying tribute to her during his own Hall of Fame induction: “I tell you, having that moment for me, it was a heartfelt moment. It was true – it was from the heart, and for me to be able to flip the script, it would really be awesome because she deserves it, not just because she’s the mother of my kids, but she’s been a true warrior to this cause for so long, and to have not gotten that recognition…to be recognized that way, I think it would be pretty, pretty cool."
