Booker T had been on tons of fights inside the wrestling ring of the World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. He took home the WWE's World Heavyweight Championship once and now, he is aiming to win another battle, this time, it might be for the mayoral position of Houston, Texas in 2019.
In a report by FOX Business, Booker T. Huffman talked about meeting United States of America president-elect Donald Trump. He said that he looked into the 70-year-old's eyes and he is convinced that Trump is a man's man whom anyone can expect to put up a good fight.
However, the 51-year-old wrestling trailblazer said that he still has not decided on what political party to join even after declaring he will run in 2019 for the election of mayor in Houston last Dec. 10. When asked about FOX Business Network's Neil Cavuto whether he considers joining Trump's party, the Republican Party, 'King Booker' compared choosing his affiliation with choosing what brand of soda to drink.
Booker T said that when one sits down at dinner and is asked what he prefers for a drink, that one will say Coca-Cola since it is what his ancestors drank, basically, a passing of preference through generations. In a report by TMZ, he noted that he is confident about winning the election in 2019. The six-time world champions said that he has a lot of support from the city, especially from the young population of Houston.
The retired American wrestler had been inducted in the Hall of Fame. After retiring from the WWE, he worked as color commentator of the promotion and a pre-show panelist for Raw and Smackdown. He has three children and married twice. He is currently married to Sharmell Sullivan, a fellow wrestler, and they have twins, a boy and a girl.
Booker T says he will decide his political party before 2019.
