Booker T has high praise for Oba Femi and Moose.
NXT Roadblock was a huge proving ground for Oba Femi, as the NXT Champion was able to defeat Moose to retain his championship in a match that could have went either way.
The match was universally praised by fans, with some even calling it the best match of Femi's career.
While speaking with co-host Brad Gilmore on the latest edition of his Hall Of Fame podcast, Booker T praised the match and said he could see the two stars having a trilogy of matches.
“Two guys went out there, like you said, throwbacks. That was a throwback match. Back in the day, when you saw two guys that was 250+ pounds in the middle of that squared circle, [they would] throw down some shakespeare, some Romeo & Juliet, Phantom Of The Opera, they had a really good feel to that match. When it was time for Moose to actually do something spectacular, boom, he actually came out the trick bag and did it. Everything was right as far as that match goes between Oba Femi and Moose. I feel like that match is going to be like [Muhammad] Ali and [Joe] Frazier, a trilogy. We’ve got to run it back somewhere, we’ve got to run it back. After we run it back, we’re gonna have to run it back again. We gonna get three paydays out of this thing, at least three paydays. As far as my perspective, those guys went out there and they had a hell of a match and it couldn’t have been in a better place, Madison Square Garden theater. Man, goosebumps thinking about it. That’s the kind of stuff you think about, ‘Man, do you miss it?’ I miss those moments. Heck yeah, I miss those kind of moments right there. For those guys to be able to experience that just one time, hopefully they can do it again, but just one time — even on a big WrestleMania stage, can you picture that? So much more left to be done with those two.”
