"Trish Stratus definitely shined big time. Becky rocked it," Booker said. "They went out and they told a great story. They took you on that roller coaster ride that I love about this business so much — the story. The wrestling is an intricate detail, but the stories, man."
He continued:
"These ladies, they went out there and they tore the house down. Talk about bruised, battered, and torn, Trish Stratus, none of those bruises were fake. That was real, man. It just shows me her heart, and how much she really still loved this business. 2013, we went in the Hall of Fame together, and [she's] truly, truly a legend, and Hall of Famer," said Booker.
