The following are highlights from a recent interview with WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T:<\/p>\n
On whether or not he has interest in a return to the ring: “I wouldn\u2019t call it a comeback (laughs). I\u2019m semi-retired and to work around these schedules that the younger wrestlers and the divas (applies to the female talent, whether as wrestlers, managers or ring announcers) is rough. It\u2019s a young man\u2019s sport. I don\u2019t want to be one of those wrestlers who still holds on to the past, hearing all the roars from the crowd. Royal Rumble is cool, I can do it once a year but to do it every day or week is tough. It\u2019s time for me to step aside.”<\/p>\n
On what he misses most now that he’s “semi-retired”: “I don\u2019t miss wrestling, but I miss performing. You know, going out and amazing everybody and feeling that adrenaline rush. I performed in front of soldiers in Iraq in 2003 and the temperature was 40\u00b0C. And when you strap on your gear and with the adrenaline pumping, it feel more like 80\u00b0C. I\u2019ll miss that. If it\u2019s not for the exhausting travels, I could do wrestling for another 10 more years (laughs).”<\/p>\n
