Booker T Celebrates His Former Student Winning Gold At WWE WrestleMania 41

This past weekend on WrestleMania 41 Saturday, Jey Uso captured his first major title in WWE when he and tapped out GUNTHER to win the World Heavyweight Championship within the opening match of the night. Along with securing probably the most coveted prize on “WWE Raw,” Uso became the primary student from Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion to win a world title in WWE. In a recent episode of “Hall of Fame,” Booker reflected on Uso’s journey from being a young trainee to being victorious at WrestleMania 41, while also addressing the negatively his former student continues to receive online.

“It feels great, it really does. I mean, social media man, they may construct you up simply to tear you down. The thing is, Jimmy and Jey, they have been constructing these guys up after which finally Jey get to this fight they usually wish to tear him down right on the last minute, right before he had his moment. But I’m just so glad and so proud that child stayed the course and he went on the market and did his job … so many guys go on the market and think about the wrestling and totally forget in regards to the fans, that is one thing Jey Uso has not forgotten … everybody in that rattling stadium was yeeting right together with him because they was pleased for him greater than anything they usually was pleased to be have been a component of putting him in that position.” 

Booker T also claimed that the important lesson the Uso’s learned from him was to acknowledge that a competitor’s losses have to be higher than their wins, and that a wrestler should concentrate on performing to the most effective of their ability until it is time for them to be within the highlight.
