During a recent episode of his podcast, “Hall of Fame,” Booker T shared his thoughts on a variety of subjects including the recruitment of Motor City Machine Guns to WWE and his initial reservations about Joe Hendry.
Here’s a summary of the main points that Booker T made in his podcast:
Regarding Joe Hendry, Booker T explained that he didn’t harbor any ill wills towards him as some believed. He said, “Contrary to popular belief, I don’t despise Joe Hendry. However, I did demand that he ‘show me something.’ I needed Joe to demonstrate his potential beyond just the hype. What swayed me was not solely his performance in the ring, but his ability to connect with the audience. Here on ‘Hall of Fame,’ it’s all about engagement with the fans. When Joe Hendry displayed this ability with striking effectiveness, I was convinced that he had something special. With his potential, he could become a dual threat, wrestling on Friday evenings and filling venues with his concerts on Saturdays.”
When speaking about the addition of The Motor City Machine Guns to WWE, Booker T noted, “Indeed, these guys have earned the right to have an opportunity in WWE. They deserve a chance to create a WrestleMania moment. They boast a commendable level of commitment towards each other which reflects in their performance as a tag team. In terms of blending in with the current roster, I believe they are the perfect fit. Their years of experience have provided the acumen necessary to capitalize on this opportunity. Their recognition of the transient nature of this profession indicates their readiness to extract maximum benefits from their stint in WWE. I’m excited to see them climb the ladder in WWE.”
