Booker T adds his own flavor to his NXT commentary, whether he's ad-libbing on Trick Williams' theme or adding emphasis to moves.
When Stephanie Vaquer hits The Devil's Kiss, her headscissors head smash, Booker's reaction on commentary has fans chanting his name.
"It's not for me. It's not for me, it's for Stephanie," Booker told Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture. "It's to shine some light on her because she is so friggin awesome. She's such a great talent and doing such a great job in NXT. I didn't see her being the one. I thought it was going to be Giulia or Zaria. Stephanie Vaquer came in there and has done such a great job as far as her in-ring performance as well as her entertainment value as well. We did the Bad Bunny thing together. She is such a cool person."
Asked what Stephanie's reaction to his commentary was, Booker replied, "I think she liked it because when she started doing it, she would point at me like, 'Let's get ready to have some fun.' A lot of people look at it and go, 'Booker T is trying to steal the shine.' When I was a young wrestler coming up, the spinaroonie would not be the spinaroonie if it wasn't for Mark Madden going crazy when I did it. Then, it became a household name. For me, I'm trying to do the same thing for these young guys and girls coming up."
