– During the latest installment of his “Hall Of Fame” podcast, WWE Hall of Fame legend and WWE NXT color-commentator Booker T spoke about TNA X-Division Champion and leader of The System, Moose, appearing on WWE NXT as part of the ongoing crossovers between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling.
“We gotta give Moose some love,” Booker said. “Let’s put some respect on Moose’s name. I’m excited. I’m excited to see what Moose is gonna bring to NXT, WWE in general because I feel like Moose is a guy who fits right into the program. We’re gonna get a chance to see it in Cincinnati when he takes on Lexis King. I’ve been pushing for Moose for, what, six years now? Five or six years, I’ve been pushing for Moose to get a shot in WWE, and I’m just glad to see that his talent proved to that company that he was worthy of getting that shot and being put on this stage. So for me, man, big ups to Moose for just hanging in there and sticking it out and getting the job done. I always said how talented of a worker he was, especially when he first came to Reality of Wrestling. To see him actually get this shot, it’s a cliche saying in professional wrestling, he deserves it. He deserves it. I’m just glad to see him get a shot. I think the arrival of Moose is definitely gonna pick business up, spike the rating, everything, gonna just make it a whole lot more exciting.”
