A WWE Hall of Famer is hopeful that they will get to compete in the Royal Rumble once again.
With the rise of NXT in recent years, unannounced entrants have been more focused on the developmental division as opposed to nostalgia acts. However, stars from previous eras such as Shane McMahon, The Hurricane and Jeff Jarrett have all made brief appearances in the match in the past few years.
Booker T was the nostalgia entrant in the 2023 Rumble, competing in his first WWE match since 2012. According to the former World Champion, he is ready to enter again in 2024 and is waiting for someone to get in touch.
Speaking on the Hall of Fame podcast, the former King of the Ring winner admitted that he was in amazing shape and is constantly checking his inbox for that invitation:
“[Starts stretching] I’m stretching right now man. I’ve been checking my email, I’ve been checking my gmail to see if the invitation has come through. But like I said, I’m in the best shape of my life, y’all. I’ve been training, I’ve been hitting the gym harder than I’ve ever hit it before. I’m serious, man. I’m serious on this. So if they need an extra man, if they need me to make that walk just one time going down in St. Petersburg, Florida, oh yeah, man. I will be ready, willing and able to get the job done, guys.
So look here, I’m on call. I got my text messages. I’m not even taking any more messages. If anybody else text me, I’m not even gonna look. If it didn’t have a 203 area code, I’m not gonna even answer. So look here, I’m available. I’m gonna be in town for the Kickoff Show. One thing about the wrestler, he always make sure he brings his extra bag with him. So look here, the white tights, the white boots, they gonna be in the bag. So look here man, WWE, the boy is ready,”
Booker T entered the 2023 Royal Rumble at number 21, lasting 42 seconds before being eliminated by Gunther.
