WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently appeared on Rasslin’ with Brandon F. Walker, where he spoke about who for him is the best wrestler in the WWE right now. Booker T said the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, but he has been saying that for the last three years as well.
Booker T said:
“Roman.” “But I’ve said that for the last, maybe, three years easy. Roman is the best guy in the business. Just because he’s a guy that goes out and performs at a very, very high level. But everyone that works with Roman, they have their best match [with him]. They come up to another level. They may never have a match like that ever again. But when they’re in there with Roman, Roman goes out and does everything he needs to do from a professional’s perspective, from a general perspective, to make everything about the match and give the fans what they want. So, he’s my guy. He’s the number one guy in the business right now.”
Booker T then talked about who he thinks is the future of the pro wrestling industry and who will the top star be in a few years time.
Booker T said:
“For me, I’m really looking to see how far Adam Cole breaks out.” “People always compare him to the Shawn Michaels’ type of worker. I really think a guy like Adam Cole, even being a small guy, is going to be able to work so much bigger than his actual size. He is [so much] like a Shawn Michaels. I saw the match with [Adam Cole and Keith Lee] and he was wrestling a big guy and performed well with him. That match that those two guys had, I was blown away! [I was blown away by] the size difference, and how it still looked like it was really competitive at the same time.”
Booker T then talked about what for him is the greatest match he has ever had.
Booker T said:
“Chris Benoit vs. Booker T, the best of seven series.” “Those matches were undeniable. [They’re] some of the greatest matches in the history of the business that anyone could ever see. Any young kid can go watch the matches and say, ‘Wow!’ When I was coming up Steamboat and Savage, I always wanted to imitate that match and go out and duplicate it. I got a chance to do it seven times with Benoit and it was really great stuff.”
Booker T then talked about who for him was his greatest opponent in the WWE.
Booker T said:
“Maybe Christian.” “Me and Christian had a really, really good chemistry. Of course, working with Kurt Angle was a really, really great time.”
