Booker T “Prepared” For A WWE In Ring Return

With all these legends returning for matches and whatnot, it’s not surprising other stars from WWE’s past are getting a bit restless.

The latest legend to express an interest in returning is Booker T, who most recently appeared on SmackDown 1000 as a guest commentator.

The last time we saw him in the ring however was in 2012, and hasn’t wrestled for any promotion since 2015.

Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Booker admitted that if WWE came knocking, he’d jump back into the ring in a heartbeat:

“I can tell you, if WWE asked me to come back and do a match, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Preparation is the only luck I’ve ever had in my career, and if they asked, I’d be prepared.

“My thing has always been preparation. When I was a performer on the roster as one of the guys on a weekly, full-time schedule, I was always prepared. When the Television title came my way in WCW, it was all because Rick Martel didn’t bring his boots. And then I heard, ‘Hey Book, we need you to step in and do this match.’ Then, when I stepped in the ring with Jeff Jarrett to win the heavyweight championship [at Bash at the Beach 2000], it was my time, and I was prepared for it.

“So, if WWE was to ask me to do a match today, I would be prepared for it. This is my life, this is what I do. I’m in a good place right now. My Reality of Wrestling is going really well, my school is doing really well, my Heated Conversations radio show is doing really well, so I’m in a great place right now, but why not do it if you still can?”

Booker recently posted on Instagram, showing that at 53-years-old, he’s still ripped. He also wrestles regularly at his wrestling school in Texas, meaning he’d be free from ring-rust.

He said his dream would be to return for a WrestleMania programme, but as far as we know, he has not been approached with any kind of proposition.
