On the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T praised the Team Taz member and narrated an anecdote about Hobbs from his early days in pro wrestling. The two-time Hall of Famer stated that the Hoobs used to talk to him outside WWE venues about wanting a shot in the company.
Booker T believes that Hobbs will be ecstatic about facing CM Punk because just two years ago, he was waiting outside WWE venues trying to get a chance, and he’s finally got it.
Powerhouse Hobbs in AEW
Powerhouse Hobbs got his big break in 2020 when AEW signed him after impressing Tony Khan in the Casino Battle Royale at last year’s All Out pay-per-view.
Hobbs quickly joined Team Taz and has been a part of the faction alongside Ricky Starks and Hook ever since.
He will have the biggest match of his AEW and pro wrestling career this week when he faces CM Punk at AEW Rampage: Grand Slam on Friday.
Hobbs is earmarked to be a future star in AEW and a top performance against the former WWE Champion could do him a world of good.
Please H/T Hall of Fame and Sportskeeda if you use any of the above quotes.
