Booker T wants to help talent get to the next level.
Booker T calls the action every week on WWE NXT He also runs the Reality of Wrestling promotion. NXT and ROW have collaborated on multiple occasions; Nile faced Promise Braxton at the February 11 Reality of Wrestling show. More recently, Charlie Dempsey faced Axiom at ROW The Next Chapter on September 23.
Speaking with Bill Pritchard of WrestleZone, Booker T was asked about the talent exchange and whether he had his eyes on talent or if WWE sent him members of the NXT roster.
“First of all, I got my eye on everybody. But I’m looking for the talent. I’m not looking for the best talent in the locker room, I’m not looking for the worst talent in the locker room. I’m looking for guys that I can work with. I’m looking for guys that are looking for help as well. If it’s guys in NXT and they’re just sitting on the sideline and I’m there every week, and they don’t come ask me any questions, they won’t be coming to reality of wrestling. I’m looking for try guys that’s looking to get better, wondering what does it take to get to that next level. But more importantly, what does it take to stay at that next level? Because when you get in this business and you don’t look at it as a business, it can be very swift. It can be very quick. But when you look at it as a job, like you’re putting your hard hat on and your boots and you know you got somebody on your heels just looking to take your job, you look at it from a totally different perspective. I’m looking for young men and young women that have that aptitude to want that, and there’s so many of them down in NXT that I hope to work with here at Reality of Wrestling and give them the rub, try to give them that little bit of knowledge, that sometimes young people just need a pat on the back and told that they can do this," Booker T said.
