Booker T Praises Carmelo Hayes, But Says Something Is Missing

While Booker T has high praise for Carmelo Hayes, he does admit that something is missing.

Speaking on the latest edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T commented on Hayes’ future in WWE, what the reigning WWE NXT World Champion is currently missing, and more.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On what Hayes is missing: “He is him, he is him, the dude is good, man Carmelo’s good. I can agree with you as far as something being missing as well. I don’t know, maybe it’s just having that ability to go out and just beat up somebody flawlessly. Wrestling someone is one thing, but going out and beating the guy up is something totally different. Carmelo maybe needs to think about raising his game as far as that goes, as far as really knowing how to go out there and tattoo someone and really make the fans feel like that person is really being tattooed.”

On Hayes’ potential: “And I can’t really, you know, get too deep into about that kind of stuff. Because there again, I’m like a magician. It’s all about, you know, keeping your tricks real close to to the bag. Carmelo is next-level talent but that’s one of the reasons why I’m happy he is still in NXT. Because he’s a work in progress, but he’s a diamond in the rough that just needs to be polished.”
