Booker T Admits He Was Harsh On Hank Walker Before Tag Team Success With Tank

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T discussed various topics, including the WWE NXT Tag Team Champions Hank and Tank (Hank Walker and Tank Ledger), during an episode of the Hall of Fame podcast.

Booker T said, โ€œThey won their first independent championship at Reality of Wrestling. We believed in those guys. I believed in them. And Iโ€™m gonna tell you right now, when Hank and Tank first came on scene โ€” especially Hank Walker โ€” I just dogged him, man. I drove him in the ground every week. I talked about him from top to bottom. Iโ€™m serious. I rode him on a weekly basis. And then Tank ledger came in, and then seemed like something clicked between Tank and Hank. I mean, they just went out there and they just thought, โ€˜All right, letโ€™s just go out here and have some fun. Letโ€™s have some fun, but letโ€™s keep it serious at the same time,โ€™ because thatโ€™s what wrestling is. And then I can see the entertainment value in both of those guys. They are so good together in the ring as well as out of the ring.โ€

On their future:

โ€œThose are two guys thatโ€™s going to make it in this business because at this young age, they understand it. So Iโ€™m proud of those guys, to be coming to Reality of Wrestling to defend their NXT championships. This is huge, man. This is huge. This is history-making. This is a history-making moment for Reality of Wrestling.โ€
