I believe @BookerT5x and @RealStevieRay said it best “When you go down 110th Street it’s gonna be on like neckbones suucckkaa” https://t.co/C9soo452Kb
Speaking on the latest edition of his podcast, Hall of Fame, Booker T disclosed that Powerhouse Hobbs often seeks advice from him. The former WCW Champion added that he is trying to steer the Team Taz member in the right direction, which could bring him long-term success in the wrestling business.
"Will Hobbs is just my boy, man. He always comes to me just to talk, just to take a little bit of knowledge, always representing Harlem Heat. I appreciate that a young brother is coming to me for knowledge. And the thing is, I'm never gonna steer him in the wrong direction, I'm always gonna steer him in the right direction. Right now, he's doing everything right and that's going out there and beating the hell out of somebody, " said Booker T. (1:08:50 - 1:09:28)
Booker T says AEW star Powerhouse Hobbs slogged on the independent scene for quite long
Booker T also pointed out that Powerhouse Hobbs struggled for a very long time before finding founding success in the wrestling business by joining AEW.
In closing, the WWE Hall of Famer added that he wishes nothing but the best for the Team Taz member's future in All Elite Wrestling.
"He's doing a hell of a job, congratulations to Will Hobbs for just sticking this thing out man because this kid has been out there for a long time on the independent scene just knocking on the door, and finally got a break so congratulations to that kid man," said Booker T. (1:09:29 - 1:09:50)
