Booker T On His WWE Return – ‘I Was Like, Oh Heck Yeah!’

During a recent episode of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T openly discussed his experience in TNA and admitted to behaving foolishly when he realized that the company did not meet his expectations. He also revealed that he had no intention of coming back to WWE when he left in 2007. Booker said,

“When I left WWE, I wasn’t expecting to ever go back. It wasn’t a thought process in my mind as far as I’m leaving WWE, I’m gonna go over here, and maybe I’ll find (my way back). I literally thought that was the end of my WWE career, my WWE run, and totally had no expectations of going back to the company or anything like that.”

Booker also shared that when the opportunity to return to WWE eventually arose, he was more than happy to oblige. He said,

“But when the opportunity came, I was like, oh heck yeah. When they asked me to do Tough Enough, I was like, man, I’m all in. It’s something I could do. It’s something I could transition from the ring to actually coaching and what not. I already got a school, so I’m already known for coaching, so this is perfect. That led to the commentary thing and analyst and whatnot. I’ve been there ever since.”
