TNA star Booker T is looking back to WWE for a wrestler like Randy Orton he could have another significant wrestling program against on TV.

Booker famously wrestled Chris Benoit in a Best of Seven series for the WCW TV Title from May to June 1998. Booker says he would like to elevate a younger star if he had another series of compelling matches.

Asked on the "Hit The Ropes" radio show who he could have a new series against, Booker skipped past potential TNA wrestlers and said Orton because "he's a guy who can get into the ring and perform at a level that can bring me up to another level."

Booker also revealed that he uses so many different accents on TV to promote himself for future movie or TV roles. He's not necessarily looking to advance a TNA storyline or enhance a program.

"Hollywood is always looking, I don't just think about the wrestling audience," Booker said. "There are a lot of roles that need to be filled. So they're looking for people that can who can do the scenes as well."

Booker is looking beyond his current wrestling career to his future as an actor. "Putting myself in a position to do a whole lot more," he said. "I'm always thinking about my next career."

FYI: Booker's next PWA show is March 28 in Pasadena, Tex. just outside of Houston. Booker will be featuring Mick Foley as his special guest for the monthly show. Booker then has the Legends of Wrestling fanfest during WrestleMania 25 weekend in Houston.
