On a recent episode of his weekly ‘Hall of Fame’ podcast, 2-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T spoke about the current title reign of World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
Booker T won the predecessor of that title, best remembered as ‘The Big Gold Belt’, 5-times in Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling and once in WWE.
Here’s what Booker had to say about Rollins:
“Seth is in a good place. For how long, since he’s been off that title run picture? 4 Years, he’s been out of that title run picture. And I’m going to tell you man, when you’re out of that title run picture, you get a lot of time to rest. You get a lot of time to heal.
Right now over this last year, I think Seth has been doing the most work he’s been doing. And of course, he will be banged up. He’s going to be bruised up. If he’s not injured, he’s going to be out there in the middle of that ring, though. That’s just part of the game. Seth Rollins knows that. He would tell you that firsthand himself. It’s no time to be sitting around, watching the parade go by.
I don’t think that’s the type Seth Rollins is. So no, I don’t think he’s going to go as, like this business, you know, recommends more than anything. You’re going to go as long and hard as possible for as long as you can. That’s just part of the business.
Even though the work that Seth is doing. He’s not killing himself. No, he’s not doing anything you saw Seth Rollins do when he first came into this company. Unless he has to go out there and give you a little bit extra, just to make you guys know that, ‘Hey, I’m still the same guy.’
So nah man, he’s doing his best work, and he has placed himself a whole lot better than a whole lot of guys in this business daily I watch, seriously.”
Seth Rollins joined NXT in June 2012 and made it to the WWE main roster by November, when he debuted as a member of The Shield, alongside fellow NXT Wrestlers (at that time) Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose.
