WWE Hall of Famer claims he "missed out" on dream match against Shawn Michaels (Exclusive)
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T feels that he and Shawn Michaels in a singles match could have been a sold-out main event back in the day.
Michaels is often credited as Mr. WrestleMania for his epic encounters at The Show of Shows. During the early stages of his singles career, Shawn put on some classics, such as the first-ever ladder match against Razor Ramon and a 60-minute Iron Man match against Bret Hart. Even in his later years, HBK had some memorable clashes with the likes of Chris Jericho, John Cena, Ric Flair, and The Undertaker.
In an exclusive interview with Sporskeeda Wrestling's Senior Editor, Bill Apter, Booker T said he never faced Shawn Michaels in a singles contest during his run.
He also acknowledged that the Heartbreak Kid was one of the greatest to ever step foot in the ring, and a match with him would have been a stellar showdown.
"In singles matches that I missed out on, more than anything with Shawn Michaels. I never wrestled Shawn Michaels one-on-one. I thought I was pretty good. I thought Shawn Michaels was perhaps the greatest that ever did it," said Booker. (From 3:52 - 4:03)

The WWE Legend also spoke about his tag team dream match
During the same conversation, Booker T also said that he would have loved to face former WCW stable Doom comprising Ron Simmons and Butch Reed.
"From a tag team perspective, you know, people always wonder what it would've looked like Doom vs. the Harlem Heat. I definitely thought that would've been one on the bucket list. That would've been awesome to have. But you know, that's just the way it is." (From 4:04 - 4:19)
Reed and Simmons were a formidable force during the early 90s, winning the NWA/WCW World Tag Team Championships. They had a falling out in 1991, leading to the team's breakup. Ron Simmons then went on a singles run and became the first-ever African-American WCW World Champion.
