WWE Hall Of Famer Says Rising WWE Star Is ‘Something Special’

WWE

A WWE Hall of Famer has heaped praise on a rising WWE star, believing that they are ‘something special’ and a Hall of Famer.

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T serves as the colour commentator on the NXT brand, where he commentates alongside Vic Joseph.

Booker is the mentor of former NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez, who he trained at his Reality of Wrestling promotion prior to her signing with NXT.

Roxanne is set to return to ROW this weekend, and Booker discussed her upcoming return on his Hall of Fame podcast, as well as working with her in NXT.

He said:

“I’m like a proud dad to be honest because I’m still in her head, still in her ear at NXT every week. Every time she’s got a match, I’m watching, critiquing it, trying to see exactly what she’s doing well, what perhaps she needs to work on. I’m always trying to make sure I’m that third, fourth, fifth eye, you know what I mean, and try to make sure…I really got a lot invested in Roxanne making it all the way through this thing and becoming a Hall of Famer one day.

“I really see her as something special. We don’t just call her The Prodigy to be throwing around another phase, another term or anything like that. But no, I’m loving being able to a part of her career, as well as to see her come back and pay it forward.”
