WWE Hall of Famer and current NXT commentator Booker T recently opened up about his lifelong passion for video games in an interview with Esports Insider. The six-time world champion discussed his gaming habits, his favorite titles, and his recent involvement in doing voiceover work for the WWE 2K series. For a man who has been at the top of the wrestling industry for decades, gaming provides a fun and competitive outlet that he has enjoyed since his childhood. His love for the medium is evident, and his choices of favorite games reflect his appreciation for both sports simulation and immersive storytelling.
Booker T shared that he is a huge gamer and that his game of choice often depends on the current sports season.
“Heck yeah, man, I’m a huge gamer. I’ve got my switch locked in right now, on the television. But it’s US Open time right now, so I’m playing tennis. I kinda go with the flow – like with football season, I’m playing Madden, baseball season I’m playing MLB, it’s one of those types of things with me. Wrestling with my son, and we get locked in. Right now, it’s an honour for me, I’m actually doing some of the voiceovers as a commentator for the video games. I’m pretty stoked about that.”
When asked to name his all-time favorite game, the choice was clear.
“Has to be ‘Madden’, man. ‘Madden’ is just such a dynamic game. It’s just numbers, pretty much really, but it’s such a dynamic game. One game that really captivated me over the last year or so has been ‘Ghost of Tsushima’. Ghost has just taken me somewhere like I’ve never gone before. It’s so freaking detailed. You wonder, how can the human brain put something like that together? That’s what I wonder, how can it get so in-depth with the detail in it, creating this story. You know, with the Mongols, it’s just the craziest thing in the world, but amazing at the same time.”
