On the latest episode of his “Hall Of Fame” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T analyzed the progress that women of color have made in the wrestling industry, while also giving special praise to Bianca Belair, Athena, and Jade Cargill.

Cargill and Belair lost the TBS Championship and RAW Women’s Championship this past weekend at AEW Double Or Nothing and WWE Night Of Champions respectively.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On black females being pushed as top stars: “I think times are just changing, man. That’s all time just changing that it happened, you know, and just like, say, for instance, football, we had no black quarterbacks. I mean, right now, black quarterbacks are being produced at a very, very high rate. I just think, you know, given a chance to go out and produce. I think that’s all it is.”

On Bianca Belair, Athena, and Jade Cargill: “Bianca Belair, she’s done a hell of a job. You cannot question Athena’s talent. You just can’t do it. Jade Cargill, she’s special. She’s different, and she’s got a hell of a career in front of her.”
