The life story of Booker T could make its way to the screen in the future.

During a recent edition of his The Hall of Fame podcast, the five-time WCW World Champion revealed that he is currently working on a script about his life and career:

"Not working on any books, but we are working on a movie script, based on my life and story in general. Hopefully, we'll get that done sometime soon in 2024. That's the next big project for Booker T and, hopefully, we'll make that come to fruition real soon. [A book] is something I think about because I'm in a different phase in my life. I had a great wrestling career, but now I'm a promoter and booker. Being able to see life from this perspective, being one of the few black promoters in this business. One of the few black wrestling business owners. I think I have a whole lot to tell as far as how did I get here and, more importantly, what it took to stay at this level," Booker said.

Booker has released two books in the past. The first - From Prison to Promise - detailed his pre-wrestling life and was released in 2012. The 2014 follow-up (My Rise to Wrestling Royalty) documented his journey through WCW and WWE. The 58-year-old has officially retired from in-ring competition, but still works for WWE NXT as an announcer.

Last month, Booker threatened to sue Ahmed Johnson over comments the former Intercontinental Champion had made about him.
