WWE Hall of Famer Booker T will return on Sunday for Season 3 of “WWE Legends and Future Greats (LFG)” as he and three others take professional wrestling hopefuls under their wings to make them the next superstar.
“WWE LFG” changed the format of Season 3. This year, it’s every man for himself. Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, Kevin Owens and Nattie Neidhart will be the coaches helping each artist train and pushing them to be the best they can be.

“I like Season 3 because it takes everything away from the game in that it’s a competition between the coaches. It’s all about talent,” Booker T told PK Press Club Digital. “It’s all about finding talent competing against themselves. Going out there and trying to make the grade, trying to get to the next level and it’s a case of sink or swim.
“You’ll either make it or you won’t, and that’s what I love more than anything about this season. It really cuts the fat and only the strongest will survive the rest of Season 3.”
Harlem Lewis, Bayley Humphrey, Layla Diggs, Harley Riggins, Tristan Angels, Dorian Van Dux, Jax Presley, PJ Vasa, Keanu Carver, Elija Holyfield, Zena Sterling, Shay Elnahas, Chantel Monroe, Chris Island, Sirena Linton, Jaime Garcia, Masyn Holiday, Braxton Cole, Nikkita Lyons, Drake Morreaux, Kali Armstrong, Tate Wilder, Kendal Grey, Kam Hendrix, Elio LeFleur, Trill London and Carlee Bright are among the talents confirmed for season 3.

Booker T said that there is no perfect role model that every manager would look for among the wrestlers involved in “WWE LFG”, but that they all need to understand at least one thing.
“It’s not just one thing that’s going to work. It’s just one thing that’s going to take them to the next level and that’s understanding the psychology of professional wrestling,” he told PK Press Club Digital. “You can know the moves, know the steps, know the dance and go out there and do it, but that doesn’t really make you a great professional wrestler.”
Booker T highlighted the WrestleMania 42 main event between Roman Reigns and CM Punk, which was considered one of the greatest WrestleMania matches in WWE history. He described it as “the art of doing nothing” when he recalled being asked about the match by a fan.
“It’s about trying to attract these young kids, the moves are great, but if you can understand the psychology of making the fans feel and maybe making a real tear come out of someone’s eye…I’m sure a kid on Sunday night, a real tear came out of his eye because CM Punk lost.

“It’s something that they’ll remember for the rest of their lives, so it’s something that will never leave wrestling. And it’s something that will always be in the main event of professional wrestling. Not the midcard, not the small card, but the main event.”
