The current TNA tag team champion Booker T says he’s missing one singles match against WWE star Shawn Michaels from his career resume, but he doesn’t expect that the match will happen. Booker said in an interview that he needs to “test himself” against Michaels, who he says he’s never wrestled in a singles match.

“The only guy I haven’t wrestled in the ring one on one is Shawn Michaels. He’s the only talent I feel I need to test myself against,” Booker told the Daily Citizen (Ga.) to promote this weekend’s TNA house shows in Georgia. “That’s the one match that hasn’t happened yet — it may never happen — but that’s the one guy.”

Booker also talked about his role in TNA. He said he’s not concerned about elevating his career because he feels everyone knows who he is. He said his concern is elevating the younger stars. Booker’s recent TV storylines have included a feud with AJ Styles over the made-up Legends Title and a tag team feud with Scott Steiner against Beer Money. Booker says he wants to take them to the next level.

“For me at this stage of my game, I don’t have to do anything for me,” Booker said. “It’s about me trying to bring these guys to another level. My fans follow me all over the world. They know me wherever I go. So it’s not about me. It’s trying to help these guys get to another position.”
