While speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, the former world champion revealed that he was approached to wrestle in his final match at Starrcast next year. Booker revealed that the pitch for his final match involved a reunion of his legendary tag team, the Harlem Heat, along with Stevie Ray. The former WWE Champion's response was a firm no. The former world champion said that after his recent match, he had a lot of knee pain and his body would not cope up with him a year later.
“I was approached, actually, to have a final match next year at Starrcast. Harlem Heat’s final match. Here in Texas. I said, ‘Hell nah.’ We ain’t doing none of that. I just had a match a couple of weeks ago and my knee was killing me. I can only imagine what it’s going to feel like next year." - Booker T via Hall of Fame Podcast [h/t bodyslam.net]
When will Booker T have his last match?
While speaking on the same podcast, Booker T said that fans will never be seeing his final match. The 2-time WWE Hall of Famer said that he will be wrestling in tag team matches and that too only for one or two spots.

"I’m still working, I’m still having matches, you’re just never going to see me have a last match. You’re never going to see me do much in the ring. I’m never going to build a match up like I’m doing a whole lot. One tag in, one tag out, that’s it. I’m done. Where’s my check? That’s way I learned from one of my teachers back in the day, Hacksaw Butch Reed. I’m coming in one time, and I’m coming out asking for my check." - Booker T via Hall of Fame Podcast [h/t bodyslam.net]
