With some of the most talented superstars coming up in the business, who would Booker like wrestle if he had the chance? "Kofi Kingston would be one. He is a great talent, and I’ve watched him grow so much. Of course Randy Orton; I would have to get in the ring with him. I can’t say Sheamus, or Drew McIntrye, or any of those guys, I don’t think any of those guys have anything to offer at this point in time. The only person I ever wished to wrestle was Shawn Michaels. A guy I have a lot of respect for, and he is wrestling personified. He is one of if not the best to ever put on boots as far as going out there, and telling a real wrestling story, & making the fans but into it. So he’s a guy I would love to tangle with & see how good I am, and he would be the guy to bring it out of me." The Mayhem received a question from a listener asking Booker who he would love to wrestle in TNA that he never got a chance to wrestle during his time there. "I really can’t say. I was there help the next crop of guys come up. I wrestled AJ Styles & Samoa Joe, who are the two best TNA has to offer. They have a lot of guys that has to learn a whole lot to come up to the next level, but the guys I really wanted to tangle up with was Kurt Angle & Jeff Jarrett and those guys."
Booker wished to let everyone that despite his departure from TNA, he is still a fan of TNA Wrestling & the wrestling business as a whole, and wants the business to continue to keep moving & succeeding. He also has a parting shot for his fans & his critics. "Whether they are critics or fans, I truly know that if it weren’t for the fans, Booker T would not have been Booker T. Booker T would not have won all the titles he would have. Booker T would not have made it to the top of the wrestling world if it wasn’t for my fans. I give all the props & praise to my fans as far as the career of Booker T."
