The veteran star recently spoke on his "Hall of Fame" podcast about featuring on ESPN's iconic "Sportscenter" show, which he revealed made him a little giddy. Co-host Brad Gilmore asked Booker T about his feeling when being a panelist compared to watching the show.
"I'm still giddy, man. I'm serious. To have seen my face, you know, on 'Sportscenter,' talking about something that I love more than anything the fight game. I'm so passionate about it," said Booker T. "To be on 'ESPN Sportscenter,' it's like a dream come true that I never had. It's something that's been a part of our lives, seemed like forever. For me, it's almost kind of like when I used to wrestle, I always said it was an out of body experience. I used to be able to sit back and watch what the fan wanted to see as opposed to what I wanted to do. It was the same way. I said, I got to act a certain way, got to talk a certain way, got to look a certain way, I got to be presented a certain way. I had to step outside of myself to actually deliver it properly. It's kind of crazy, if you understand what I'm saying."
