Mike Johnson: I was at the WWE Hall of Fame when you went in at Madison Square Garden and I was there when you and your brother were inducted as well, but there is one member of the family who has not been inducted yet so maybe we can start the campaign now - thoughts on Sharmell getting a WWE Hall of Fame induction one day?
[Note: Since this interview was conducted, WWE announced Sharmell for the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame Class.]
Booker T: Man I tell people all the time, Sharmell has definitely been underrated for what she's done in the business, for the business. I tell people all the time there would have never been a King Booker run if it wasn't for Shamell - that thing was created around her. My career was definitely furthered with Sharmell by my side. I don't think we would have ever seen that character if it wasn't for Sharmell, as well as you know, the small things that one does for this business. We have Reality Of Wrestling - we're definitely thinking about the next generation of professional wrestling. Definitely I think she's worthy of being in the Hall of Fame, plus she's my queen.
Mike Johnson: I still think when you spoke to her at the WWE Hall of Fame at Madison Square Garden, you said you'd marry her every day for the rest of your life - that was one of the greatest sort of moments of that entire evening, cause I remember sitting in the crowd, the whole crowd is going "Awww" in a way that they didn't react to anything else. It was an amazing class that year but like I remember that being like a very endearing moment that just was different from every other induction speech that night, so how great would it be if you flip the switch and you got to induct her one day?
Booker T: I tell you, having that moment for me, it was a heartfelt moment. It was true - it was from the heart, and for me to be able to flip the script, it would really be awesome because she deserves it, not just because she's the mother of my kids, but she's been a true warrior to this cause for so long, and to have not gotten that recognition...to be recognized that way, I think it would be pretty, pretty cool.
