2. Booker T Says WWE Wrestlers Should Work Smarter & Think About Psychology
During a recent appearance on The Roman Show, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T talked about undergoing elbow surgery due to 20 years of spinaroonie, WWE wrestlers getting injured more often, Ember Moon & more. Below are the highlights:
On WWE wrestlers getting injured more often:
“The bar is higher. The guys want to one up each other. Wrestling for me the way I trained is of doing the art of watching nothing. These guys raise the bar so much. It’s inevitable. It’s not a matter of if, but it’s a matter of when it’s going to happen. I think they should work smarter, think about the psychology a little more drawing the fans from a Shakespearean, Phantom of the Opera perspective. They can do it a whole a lot safer.”
On his former student Ember Moon making her NXT debut at Takeover: Brooklyn 2:
“She’s everything I expected. When she first came to me she was already talented she had the tools. She had to be polished. She had the hunger. She was willing to travel the miles. She was way ahead before she got her. Now she was able to show the world.”
On his elbow surgery due to Spinaroonie:
“Injury caused by doing the Spinaroonie for 20 years. I didn’t realize how much pressure this elbow was taking until that night when I did the move on the hardwood floor.”
