WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently appeared on an episode of his “Hall of Fame” podcast. He discussed several topics, including Lex Luger being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Booker T said, “It’s a no-brainer for me as far as Lex being in the Hall of Fame. I’m glad, I’m really happy to see him actually get the nod. Because he did a hell of a lot for the business. You know a lot of times, people hold grudges in this business a lot. That may be the reason why a lot of guys get in and don’t get in. But I tell you what; as far as deserving, Lex Luger is definitely deserving. He’s been such a stand-up dude, even going through what he’s been going through. I give him so much freaking credit because he could be bitter, he could be mad at the world. But every time I’ve seen Lex Luger, he’s always had nothing but a smile on his face. I was with him just last year at a convention, and he was right next to me, man. He smiled all freaking day. Big ups to Lex Luger going into the Hall of Fame.”
On wrestling Bret Hart on a February 1999 episode of WCW Nitro:
“We may have gone over a couple of things. I don’t know if that’s the match where we did the figure four on the pole, where he put the figure four on me. And that’s the one thing that I went through with Bret, was how to do that, that figure four in the polls in order for him to actually be safe. And I remember him talking to me about that more than anything, if that’s the match, if I recall. But it was so cool for me as a young guy, getting a chance to work with a guy that I really admired coming up as a wrestler. He was a guy that I watched and emulated in certain aspects. And then to find myself in the ring with Bret Hart, it was one of those eye opening, you know, lifetime moments.”
