Booker T has high praise for this RAW Superstar, comparing them to WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.
WWE NXT’s Booker T recently spoke with Zack Heydorn of Sports Illustrated. When asked about the success Reality of Wrestling trainee Roxanne Perez has found in WWE, Booker T put his former student over in a big way, comparing her to Shawn Michaels.
“You know, she came to fantasy camp,” Booker T began. “The camp that I do is a five-hour camp, normally on a Sunday afternoon. goes from noon to five, and she was like a little bit, she was like not even as big as my daughter, literally, but she was so astute to professional wrestling at such a young age, and she’s my youngest female Reality Of Wrestling champion, at 16 years old.
“I spotted something in Roxanne immediately. I said, man, there’s something about her. She wanted it more. She wanted it more, and more importantly, she took to the training and really took those training sessions and made them real to her towards now. She’s not the biggest dog in the fight, but when she’s in the fight, you don’t realize it.
“You go, man, she’s a pit bull. She will bite you in a heartbeat. No, seriously. So for me, she learned how to make herself bigger than she actually really is. You know, Shawn Michaels, he was like that. Shawn Michaels wasn’t the biggest guy in the room, but you thought Shawn Michaels was 6’3 and 225 pounds.
“But that was the illusion, and that’s the illusion of professional wrestling, trying to take something and maximize it as much as you possibly can, and that’s what Roxanne Perez has done. She’s taken what she’s got and she’s maximized it. She’s smart. She’s smarter than most in the room, and that’s what’s going to get you to the next level.” [H/T: Fightful]
