Booker T Is Lobbying For The Nasty Boys To Be In WWE Hall Of Fame

Booker T thinks the WWE Hall of Fame needs to take a trip to Pity City.

Booker T is a two-time WWE Hall of Famer. Once on his own and a second time as a member of Harlem Heat alongside his brother, Stevie Ray.

On a recent episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T noted that he is pushing for The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs & Jerry Saggs) to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame soon.

“I’m lobbying for the Nasty Boys to go into the Hall of Fame,” Booker said. “I really believe, truly in my heart, the Nasty Boys deserve a spot inside the WWE Hall of Fame. They put a lot of work in in WCW, in WWE, in WWF. They pretty much did it all. I’m hoping to see my man Knobbs and Saggs inside the Hall of Fame. I would love to see them in the Hall of Fame. My brother and I, we had so many matches with the Nasty Boys. I don’t think our careers would have been what they were without the Nasty Boys. That six-month run alone should get them in the Hall of Fame, as far as I’m concerned. It was a rough six months working with those boys. I remember almost getting into a fight with Saggs. I called a spot, I think I called a dropkick. He stopped right before I did a dropkick and I took a face-plant. I was mad about it. ‘Don’t do that again.’ He goes ‘Ohhhh’ [fakes being scared]. It was crazy [laughs].”

There was previously a quota of inducting one tag team per year into the WWE Hall of Fame. Tag teams such as the Hart Foundation, The Bushwhackers, The Dudley Boyz, The Wild Samoans, and more have all been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

There was recently a report that Triple H is now in complete control of the WWE Hall of Fame. Triple H has commented in the past on the Hall of Fame selection process. Learn more here.
