Booker T
Wrestling Wives Focus Booker T’s Wrestling Academy
Speaking of VH1, they are apparently going to be putting together another installment of their “Wives” series of shows, this time focusing on Wrestling Wives. Apparently, the show will focus on Booker T’s wrestling academy in Texas and will feature Sharmell Huffman (Booker T’s wife), Stacy Carter (currently married to Sinn Bodhi aka Kizarny, formerly married to Jerry Lawler) and Jackie Haas (Charlie Haas’ wife). Given that Booker is involved with the WWE currently, I would expect Sharmell to be the featured player in the series, but I’m not entirely sure how the format works since I haven’t seen an episode of the Basketball Wives show that this show is based on. Either way, this could be interesting if it’s more about the life of a wrestler and less about them being catty bitches to each other like seemingly all of the shows about housewives seem to be. There’s no word on when the show will be out of development phase and be ready for air, but stick with the Bell to Bell for more updates as they become available.

Superstar Booker T New Role in Wrestling
In an interview with WWE.com, Booker T revealed that he feels rejuvenated after returning to the company at the Royal Rumble PPV last Sunday.
“I feel like I’m going in a totally different direction, as far as my career goes. I’m just going to make sure I do a great job (as Smackdown announcer) and take it as far as I can go,” Booker said in an interview with Joey Styles.
Booker also talked about the new season of “Tough Enough” and his role as one of the coaches: “I think that by these guys seeing I’ve been there, I must know what I’m talking about,” Booker said. “I’ve had my wrestling school in Houston going on seven years now. It’s been very, very successful. I’ve produced a lot of good athletes, and they say nothing but good things about my training. When asked what he will be looking for as one of the “Tough Enough” coaches Booker said: “What I’m looking for is showmanship, athleticism, and how much do they really want to learn about this profession as opposed to thinking it’s something cool to be on television,” Booker said. “People really don’t understand how hard it is and what it takes to be a WWE Superstar.”
