WWE Hall of Famer praised Vic Joseph

In 2017, Vic Joseph signed with WWE and started his journey as a commentator for Main Event. Eventually, he got his big break when he became a color commentator for the developmental brand alongside Wade Barrett.

Later, Barrett moved to WWE SmackDown, and Booker T took his spot on NXT. Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker praised Vic Joseph and wants to see him at the top. Check it out:

"I want to see Vic move up. I want to see Vic move up to the main roster and get his flowers because Vic is good. Vic is definitely the reason I stay on point on that show. He directs me. He's almost like a maestro sometimes, holding his hands, telling me to calm down, making sure the guys speed up through the reads. He's unbelievable. I definitely want to see that young man get to the next level," stated Booker T.

It's been a year since Booker T joined Vic Joseph at the commentary desk on the developmental brand.
