D: Who is the hardest opponent you've ever gone up against?
Booker T: Big Show...but I beat him though.
D's Follow Up: Big Show is a big man like my favorite wrestler ever, Andre the Giant. They are so big and one slam would put you out for a match. It's amazing that Booker was able to beat Big Show.
Booker T: Probably going into the Hall of Fame. Going into the Hall of Fame, that was pretty cool, ya know.
J's Follow Up: That means that he's one of the best wrestlers of all time and I'm excited that he made it in to the Hall of Fame.
Chad: What is your favorite match you've ever wrestled in?
Booker T: There are too many matches to pick from. There were so many good wrestlers I went up against...Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho.
Chad: I know superstars wrestle around 300 days a year or more, so I understand it would be tough to pick a particular match over so many years. He definitely had some classic battles with Mysterio and Jericho but I will always remember Booker T most for becoming the King of the Ring in 2006 and his reigns as tag team champion with his brother Stevie Ray as the Harlem Heat in WCW.
It was an honor to be in the presence of royalty as we met the former King of the Ring and WWE Hall of Famer Booker T on Wednesday, August 8th at the Kenosha Kingfish baseball game. The baseball game turned out to be great but make no mistake, we were in attendance to meet the legendary Booker T. Thanks to sponsor Lynch Chevrolet, fans in attendance got to take a picture and get an autograph from one of the greatest wrestlers to step foot in the squared circle.

Booker T spent over two hours meeting with fans of all ages. Our family loved meeting with Booker and asking him questions. We greeted him with the famous "All hail....King Booker" chant, which we've been using in our house for years, and he jumped right into character. Booker T made it feel like we were old friends and he noted that his favorite part about being a WWE superstar is meeting with fans. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to be there the night that Booker T became the King of Kenosha. All hail, King Booker!
