As previously reported, Busted Open Radio recently interviewed WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. Below are some additional highlights from the interview, including Booker T predicting his former student Ember Moon will eventually become champion (transcript via WrestlingInc.com).

Booker T on WWE looking at the students on his wrestling school:“[WWE is] definitely looking at my guys, one of my guys just got a tryout and they didn’t even call me to look at him. They must be looking at him somewhere. But that’s what’s pretty cool, right now WWE is working with me where I can actually get the website to work with me a little bit, and promote some of my stuff. I’m looking to actually, hopefully, use some of those NXT guys to bring them down and be a part of what we’re doing down here. Because if you see it from a different perspective, you can actually pick it up from a different perspective, even though it’s the exact same thing, it’s just getting it from a different direction. So, I’d love to get my hands on some of those NXT guys and get in their head from a psychology perspective.”

Booker T on Bobby Lashley: “It’s a different world now, you’ve got so many guys on the roster. I really do like seeing Bobby Lashley get the torch and, exactly seeing what he can do with it. I think he’s in a good position right now but there’s so many guys. The roster’s full right now.”

Booker T on Ember Moon eventually becoming champion: “One of my girls up there right now, Ember Moon – she’s doing awesome. You know, you watch her, you watch the little bitty things she does, you watch the little bitty interplay, she knows how to make all those girls look good. She’s gonna have her time, she’s gonna be champion, she’s gonna pick that tile up before long because she goes out and makes everybody else look good.”
