Booker T Reflects On The Great American Bash’s Legacy, More

During the latest episode of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T emphasized the significance of the Great American Bash theme to him, reflecting on his 2006 World Heavyweight Championship victory over Rey Mysterio and discussing the recent NXT version of the event.

Discussing the show’s nostalgia and legacy, Booker T expressed,

“One thing about the show, man, is, you gotta keep that thing moving and try to have fun with it. And as you said, the Great American is that nostalgic feeling, that Dusty Rhodes feeling. That stage was so cool, the star. I was like, ‘Man, we gotta steal this. Look right here for our new arena.’”

Regarding the meaning of the Great American Bash in his career, Booker T stated,

“I work my ass off to be in the position to be one of those guys that these young guys look up to and to aspire to be like one day. And that aspiration is to be the best performer, the best entertainer that you possibly can be. Be the best entertainer on the roster. Are you? Perhaps not, but that’s your ultimate goal. And for me to be put in that position to where they’re showing me win the World Heavyweight Championship in one of my most shining moments, it really was. Later on in my career, it was great. And, I tell you, I cherish those moments. I’ll cherish it to the day I die because I tell you, greatest moments in, in perhaps my wrestling history, other than my first world title.”
