WWE Hall of Famer Booker T says he was uncomfortable working The Rock’s style
“I remember my head was tied up like a pretzel because I was working with The Rock. The Rock was one of those guys (who looked at) intricate details. He was very, very detail-oriented to where he wanted everything to be pristine, everything had to be on time. Everything had to be right.
“Me, personally, I could appreciate someone who’s got that work ethic but, for me at that time, I was not comfortable working that style. I tell people all the time, people say, ‘It was a really good match,’ but, for me, I could not think about anything but the match when I was doing it. And that’s why the memories for me is not as vivid as if I were just freelancing, per se,”
Their match took place all the way back in WWE SummerSlam 2001. Booker T walked in as the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Booker T had a bit of a help from Shane McMaho. However, the Rock managed to overcome both of them to win the WCW Championship for the first time.
