Booker T isn’t a fan of WarGames matches.
The two-time WWE Hall of Fame legend spoke on the latest installment of his “Hall Of Fame” podcast about how he has never been a fan of the two-rings system, while also reflecting on capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Rey Mysterio at WWE Great American Bash several years ago.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the episode where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title from Rey Mysterio at Great American Bash: “Yeah, that was my final World Heavyweight championship reign versus the Rey Mysterio as King Booker. One of my favorite matches, man. One of my all-time favorite matches. I actually do film study, and I use that match sometimes to show how the big guy is working against a smaller guy, how one could still make this thing look very poetic, you know? As the big guy, I always say I had to keep up with Rey Mysterio. I didn’t have to be faster. I had to keep up when it was my time. And timing is everything in this business. And that match, the Great American Bash was definitely one of my greatest, greatest triumphs.”
On why he wasn’t a fan of WarGames: “I just don’t like the two rings system. That just throws me off. I’m not looking to be diving through the ropes or over the top or do any of that kind of crazy stuff, you know? So it wasn’t set up for someone like my wrestling style. That’s why I wasn’t a big fan of it, even though I was in the first one.”
