WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently addressed several topics on an episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, including the criticism surrounding fellow WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg’s upcoming match against World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” GUNTHER at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Booker T said, “I want to reach out to all the guys of that era of Goldberg, and the guys of that era that are complaining about Goldberg. ‘Why does Goldberg get the shot? Why is he in this match, and this guy is not in the match? One of the younger guys’ — I want to reach out to those guys. Because dammit, the reason why he’s doing it? Because it’s the same thing your ass would have did if WWE called you to be in a final match with GUNTHER in a primetime spot. That’s why. So anybody out there complaining can just shut the hell up, seriously.”
On doing it himself:
“I know if they would have called me, I would have done it. And I know just about anybody that’s in that position that’s able to actually walk to that ring, they would have did it too. And to the young guys who may have a problem with it, you better hope and wish and pray that you’re of the caliber of a Goldberg one day to where the company feels that you have that much to bring to the table still at that age to bring you back, to give to the fans one more time. You better hope and pray that you’re in that position, just one day. And trust me guys, time flies. Time flies, it goes quickly. I’m serious. So Goldberg, go out there and represent. Represent like the OG can do just one more time. Do it for me.”
