Booker T is the founder of The Independent Promotion Reality of Wrestling (ROW), which became an independent wrestling school for WWE’s latest development program, WWE ID. Like his co-trainer, he has been through the ups and downs that Pro Wrestling has to offer. He has been world champion with WWE, the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling, and he has been on the independent and international scenes.
He explained to Pakinomist Digital in a recent conversation what he is looking for in a pro -wrestler.
“How much heart they have, how much they really really want it, and how far they are willing to go, because with professional wrestling I tell my students, it won’t come to you,” he said. “You have to go to it as far as the student’s side of it.
“Do you really want to be a professional wrestler, or do you just want to play wrestling? There are so many different elements going into it. But I’m looking for the guy who wants it. It’s hard to judge a book after its Cover because you may see the one guy, he can have everything on the exterior you are looking for, but it may have zero on the inside that you are looking for.
Apart from being a productive single competitor with several World Cup Reigns, Booker T Booker T into WCW as a tag-team-wrestler with his brother, Stevie Ray. The two became known as Harlem Heat and took the tag-team stage by storm.

Harlem Heat was 10-time Tag-Team Champions in WCW. Booker T also won roof titles with Rob van Dam, Goldust and Test.
He told Pakinomist Digital that he was not looking for a person to have a particular specialty, rather a person who is ready for any form of challenge.
“I’m looking for someone who can find themselves in situations and whatever the situation is, they know how to find out,” he said. “Many of these guys have to do with this competition from almost every aspect we might put them from a roof-team perspective, from a single perspective, from a surprise perspective.
“There will be so many different elements as we will implement them. They will, as I say, run gambit as far as it goes. But I’m looking for someone prepared for these situations because, just as I’ve talked to my Students since the first day, preparation is the only luck you want to do it in this business.
