"If Ric Flair could do it, I could do it too" - WWE legend on returning to the ring
WWE Legend Booker T has said that he could get back in the ring if an opportunity came his way.
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer discussed news about Ric Flair returning to the ring, on his Hall of Fame show. He was asked by a fan about him returning to the ring, like Flair.
The Hall of Famer stated that he is not desperate to get back in the ring, but isn't closing the door about stepping back into the squared circle:
"I'm not looking for any itch to scratch or anything like that [returning to the ring], but I always say, if the opportunity was to come, I think I would take it. I think I would get back in the ring just to see what I've got. That's one of those things where you're testing yourself. I don't think it would be for anybody, other than my son Kendrick, maybe. But I don't think it would be anybody other than myself, just to see if I could still do it. I would take the chance. [From 1:17:24 to 1:17:55]
The Hall of Famer said that he's still hitting the weights in the gym and seems to be inspired by Ric Flair's recent announcement about returning to the ring:
"I'm still in the gym throwing up the iron, so I think if Ric Flair could do it, I could do it too." [From 1:18:12 to 1:18:20]
The Hall of Famer stated that he will continue to train and claimed that he's pushing himself to the end. Booker T has wrestled a few times in recent years at his Reality of Wrestling show.
