Since the day Bad Bunny hit the Canadian Destroyer at WrestleMania 37, fans knew he is not an ordinary celebrity wrestler. That night in 2021, Bunny set the bar for celebrity wrestler matches in WWE. Hence, the WWE Hall of Famer praised his skills for it.
King Booker said, “Bunny makes it as real as he possibly can. That right there … is something that I try to preach to these young guys about. You don’t have to be a great wrestler in order to make it feel a certain way. You don’t have to actually know how to do it if you act like you know how to do it pretty good.”
This was Bunny’s third match in WWE and with a performance like this, fans would love to see him in more matches. Do you agree with Booker T’s comments? Share your opinion below.
