Booker T Says ROW Doesn’t Have Exclusive WWE Deal, ‘If You’re Good Enough, You’ll Get A Call’
When he’s not on WWE kick-off panels, Booker T is running his Reality of Wrestling school and promotion.
Given Booker’s ties to WWE, some fans have wondered if Reality of Wrestling has any type of exclusive deal with the promotion.
Booker was asked that question by Kristian Harloff on The Big Thing. He noted that Sammy Guevara was one of his students and he is currently thriving in AEW.
Booker continued by saying, “We don’t have an exclusive deal with WWE or anything like that with our students. Rok-C, one of my students, (former) ROH Women’s Champion and highly sought by WWE as well. MACE, he’s one of my students, with WWE right now. It’s not exclusive. What we do is, we have television and we try to get young people that has that talent to take the most direct route to getting to that next level and that’s being seen on television. I say that from experience. I never worked any Indie shows when I was coming up. I worked on the Global Wrestling Federation television for 18months straights. Monday through Friday. I said, ‘somebody is going to see me and if I’m good enough, somebody will make a phone call and say, how can I use your services?’ I try to tell young people, ‘If you’re good enough, you’re going to be seen on Reality of Wrestling television and someone is going to call you.’ Going out and just working territories and working show to show, you can learn less and pick up so many bad habits from actually doing that. Get yourself in a group and be part of a group that is better than you and teaching you the what not to dos and trust me, you’ll make it to the next level if you’re good enough.”
Rok-C took part in the recent WWE tryouts and several in WWE are reportedly pushing for her to be signed. You can learn more by clicking here.
WWE has yet to announce if she’s signed with the promotion.
