Booker T arrives for you in season 2 of WWE LFG “

It’s a great time to be Booker T. at Wrestlemania 41, Jey Usto has become the first former of his wrestling schoolReality of the struggle, to win a WWE World Championship. Her Precious protective Roxanne Perez is a graduate of NXT with the highest brands, and is now a full -fledged title competitor on the main brand “WWE RAW”. But the most recent trophy on the Booker coat is a little different: it is one of the inaugural winning coaches of “WWE LFG”, the last reality competition of the company via A&E TV.

Although it took 20 years to train fanatic fighters of the future, he sees value in the new fast effort and Swim-ou-Swim-and he is ready to go even stronger for his crew in season two.

“I mean, I am a very good coach” Booker half pleasant, decomposing what took him to the podium during the first round of the show. Abbreviated by “Legends and Future Greats”, the first season of “LFG” associated 17 of WWE performance athletes with some of its most decorated pugilists in the past. Between 15 episodes, the competitors received a range of tasks, both physical and creative, and asked to show what they have picked up with strategically allocated matches, with eliminations that occur through their respective coaches For the first three laps. Then, the last eight were chosen after their performances via the vote of the panel until there is one – or in the case of this season, two – winners.

In some respects, this is similar to the first versions of NXT, but you will not see longtime veterans like Bryan Danielson or Low Ki in the mixture.

WWE Hall of Famers’ comrade, The Undertaker and Bubba Ray Dudley, joined Booker as trainers, just like the multiple female world champion Mickie James, to transmit knowledge of their different corners of the world of struggle. Current stars like Gunther, AJ Styles and CM Punk have came up during training sessions and matches to offer external looks on talents that possibly hope to win a place in their locker rooms.

“We all do it differently. We all talk about different languages, ”explains Booker. “But in the end, everything works because we are all world -class caliber talents.

“I think that is what is really cool in the dynamics of the four coaches, it is that we all teach the same thing, but we all do it differently. But at the end of the day, you will reach your goal. I always say to my students:” Put an asterisk by everything I say because it is the way I think. “” “.

Everyone’s approach is a little different. The Undertaker gives off this kind of Uniform and proud poppa approach This brings you a nickname like “WWE consciousness”. Bubba Ray leans heavier in “Win it” hard love that the rest of the group, sadly refusing to shake hands with competitor BJ Ray when it was introduced. James, who entered WWE at a time when the personalities of the female division were … less fleshed up … focused on talented help to find their “why”, Underline the need to develop and present your personality between movements and stages.

Booker, who had the most difficult path to fight against the four of the four, seems to have the greatest emphasis on the emergency, knowing that a thing you cannot teach – but can absolutely exploit – is the desire to go and get yours.

He showed his desire to stand out from his peers all his career, and Always shows flashes throughout the showWith his not so subtle frustrations trying to make sure that his voice is heard. “(My mentality has always been) It was only a meal on the table,” he said. “There are 10 people in the room. Who will get it?

“I asked many of my guys with whom I work …” Have you ever been in a real fight? “If they say no, they have to go to a working class.

Booker and the possible winner did not have to move away.

Jasper Troy, named Huffman, in Texas, was an offensive line of NCAA DI for four years with the University of Kansas and the University of Northern Iowa, so the majority of his years of training have been spent Fight for space with monsters in nearby neighborhoods. With his fire and the management of Booker, he was able to ensure victory. “And that’s what I saw in Jasper Troy of day 1 of the first season, on everyone in this thing,” says Booker. “(I think) that he would have been a close finalist if he would not have been under my expert supervision. (Fell Collegiate Lin Player) Anthony Luke would probably have won. I just said.”

The most interesting part of the series is perhaps the push for competitors to offer things on the fly. You have heard WWE stories on last -minute name changes, finish adjustments or thrown promotions to better adapt to the story that must be repeated immediately. With all the participants who have almost started their professional career in the WWE system, they do not have the years of independent or promotional experience to have a personality or a set of proven movements that just need modifications. So, looking at the strange couple of Eric Bischoff and Sean Waltman asking them to find a faction, or AJ styles challenges them to nickname And Proceeding as in a match, testifies to the time that it takes not only to learn to fight, but also to learn to exploit the emotions of the company.

Although it seems to be a crazy amount of pressure, Booker thinks that the type of mini-format “LFG” could even benefit some in NXT, where they get the same information but in a slightly different package. “One thing on this subject, the talent NXT is formed in a certain way, then to be able to get out of the box and go under the formation of someone else, you will see it,” he said. “They can tell you the same exact thing, but they can tell you completely different. And then you could go:” Oh guy, I heard the same thing. “They will understand it completely different.

“I think they would benefit a lot.”

While the Booker student obtained an NXT contract by winning, Undertaker was elected the winner of the season, due to the training of the other winner, Tyra Mae SteeleAnd to have the most students to advance throughout the competition. The man who went from the specialist in the team team to a world television champion, US champion, then world champion, was never satisfied with what he had already done. So, while Booker is eating at the moment, he is still dedicated to obtaining a larger piece of the pie in season two.

“I remove the gloves, I could tell you that,” he said. “Because the first season, I was stolen. Everyone saw him.

“For me, I remove the gloves by all the necessary means. Like Ernie Ladd said in 1998, I will have to walk on toes and walk on toes and continue walking, Jack. For me, season two, as I say, gloves for me.

He turned out to have a winning formula with regard to preparation and production, so with even more motivation to win, there is a legend ready to fight for the next future big to see them succeed.
