Booker T is excited for SummerSlam and what the element of the ThunderDome could bring to the WWE product going forward.
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer will be in attendance for the SummerSlam pre-show at Orlando’s AMWAY Center for the SummerSlam PPV and Booker offered his comments to his Hall of Fame co-host, Brad Gilmore:
“I’m looking forward to being a part of SummerSlam and getting back in action. Hopefully this will be the kickoff, this will be the reboot for WWE getting back to that place to where fans are somewhat a part of the show. So I’m looking forward to it.”
Booker does mention that personally for him, sporting events outside of WWE like the NBA have struggled to bring that fan-like atmosphere to their contained area of contest.
“You say the fans, it really doesn’t effect you not having fans watching NBA, but for me, it seems like I’m watching a pick-up game. It seems like I’m watching a game at the gym. That’s the feel I’m getting from it because I don’t hear fans. There is no fan interaction.”
As far as the logistics go for Booker, he plans to be as safe and considerate as possible with ongoing COVID-19 pandemic still in full swing.
“I must say, it is something you’re still a little leery about so I’m definitely going to be taking precautions as far as what am I going to be doing while I’m there. I’m going to make sure I am social distancing, I’m going to make sure I’m doing everything properly
“I gotta take a COVID test of course and then I gotta quarantine for a day. So it’s a lot goes involved with a lot with going along with this thing for me to actually make it there so I gotta do my part. I’m looking forward to actually being a part of this environment just one more time.”
