WWE Hall of Famer Booker T will have a new challenge to embark on starting Sunday night as he and fellow pro wrestling colleagues Lita and Mick Foley go treasure hunting.
Booker T is one-third of the team looking to track down some of the rarest memorabilia in WWE lore on the second season of A&E’s “WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures.” The three go across the U.S. to reclaim the lost artifacts and bring them home to share with the WWE Universe.
The current NXT commentator told Fox News Digital in a recent interview that one of the things he and the team found was the vehicle “Stone Cold” Steve Austin dumped cement in during the Attitude Era and at the height of his rivalry with Vince McMahon.

“We looked for so much stuff and I think the one thing that really made me go, ‘Wow, man this is crazy how much they put into this,’ and it was what ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin dumped all the cement in the car and the windows filled up and boom they exploded. We found that car, and it was in the worst condition you could ever imagine,” he said.
“But I just wanted to see it just to be able to go back and relive that moment because that’s what the WWE has always been about – those moments. Making fans feel a certain way and I remember being a guy that was on the other side, WCW, watching that man wishing I was over there getting a piece of that action. That was a pretty cool moment.”
While Booker T did not give any spoilers away, there was one “Holy Grail” item he said he wished he would have been able to find.

“It’s what’s crazy man. There’s so much stuff. There’s so many guys that have put the work in and make fans feel a certain way. And I can only speak for myself in that aspect,” he told Fox News Digital. “We went on a treasure hunt, and we were looking for the title that pretty much put me on the map and that really made my singles career – that was the WCW Television Championship. Man, we couldn’t find it. We searched all over … We searched and searched and searched for it.
“For me, that was my Holy Grail because, in WCW, when I got that title, I was like ‘man I got a chip in the game. I’m gonna take this thing on to the end zone.’ It was one of those moments. So, for me I think that’s what it was.”

Booker T was a six-time WCW TV champion and later became a four-time WCW World Heavyweight Championship before winning it for a fifth time after WWE bought the company.
