As previously reported, WWE legend The Rock took to his Twitter to respond to Shane “Hurricane” Helms saying that while he was watching WWE legend The Rock face WWE Hall of Famer Booker T in a match from the 2001 WWE SummerSlam PPV, he was doing cardio and he wishes they would have more matches together.
The Rock agreed that he and Booker should have had more matches together and not doing that is one of his biggest regrets in WWE. The Rock then called Booker one of his favorite workers and the best pure athlete he's ever wrestled.
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently took to his Hall of Fame podcast and thanked The Rock for what he said about him on how The Rock and Booker should have had more matches together and not doing that is one of his biggest regrets in WWE as well as how Booker is one of The Rock's favorite workers and the best pure athlete he's ever wrestled.
Booker T said:
“That’s cool that The Rock put me over like that. I really appreciate The Rock saying those kind words as far as me being one of the most athletic guys, and pretty much being a damn good worker. I get props like that from a lot of guys like that, like Bret Hart. Bret Hart is one of the guys who said he really enjoyed working with me in WCW.”
“I really think he enjoyed working with me because there was chemistry. There was intensity. There was a realness about being in the ring with him. So hearing that coming from The Rock, it means a lot, him saying that he wished our feud would have lasted a whole lot longer. In actuality, it should have, me being the guy from WCW coming over, and me always being questioned, The Rock, Booker T, I felt that could have been a six month or a year marriage with the Rock if done properly. The reason why it wasn’t done? I can’t answer that question. I always said when WWF bought WCW, they raised a flag, they planted it, and said, ‘We won this war. It’s over.’”

Thank you, brother. I do too actually. One of my biggest regrets was not having a long run w Book. He was one of my fav workers and the best pure athlete I’ve ever wrestled. Fluid, sharp, believable movements and work style. I always say his moves had a rare swagger.
