Booker T is excited about WWE LFG.
On December 6, WWE and A&E announced that "WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats),” a new competition series, would debut in 2025. The announcement noted that The Undertaker, Booker T, Mickie James, and Bubba Ray Dudley would be coaches on the show.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T commented on WWE LFG being announced.
“WWE LFG, big announcement went out this week. I’m one of the coaches along with Mickie James, as well as my man Bubba Ray Dudley, and then The Undertaker, who’s someone who’s not the typical guy you would think to be doing a show like this. I think that’s what adds a whole lot of intrigue to this show that’s gonna be airing early 2025 on A&E. I’ve been holding onto this one for a while, I’ve been keeping it secret," Booker T said.
Co-host Brad Gilmore then asked Booker T to comment on how the show would work and whether the coaches would have their own teams. Booker T explained that the coaches would put together their own teams, and it would be a competition.
“Yeah, we’re gonna have our own teams. It’s gonna be a system to share who’s gonna come out at the end of the day with the best team, who’s gonna put together the best team, who’s gonna teach their team the most about this business in a limited amount of time. It’s got a whole lot to do with what the business is truly all about. Even though we want to win, we know it takes more than us to win. Even my team, my team has to make everybody look as good as they possibly can. I think that’s what it’s gonna be about at the end of the day, as far as how this business was formed and what this business was truly built on, and that is everybody going out and understanding what their job is at that point in time. I think that’s what this show is gonna bring to light more than anything. It’s gonna let the fans come behind the curtain just a little bit and see, not just what it’s like behind the curtain, but how hard it is to be behind the curtain, how stressful it is to be behind the curtain, how competition drives you or bends you or sometimes breaks you. It’s got so many different elements to it. I think that’s why, for me, I love it," Booker T said.
