00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: Hey man, I'm from the neighborhood. I'm from the neighborhood.

162
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: And that's a word that you know, just to educate,

163
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: just to get educate everybody. That's a word in my

164
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: neighborhood that was used on a regular basis. Yess what,

165
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: But I could tell you other than that one moment,

166
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: that's the only time that any of my peers has

167
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: ever heard me say that word. And the reason why

168
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: I feel like that was perhaps the most memorable moment

169
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: in my career from a negative standpoint, because I got

170
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: so many young black kids looking up to me, and

171
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: if they see Booker T, they say, if Booker T

172
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: Can say that word, it's cool for them to say it.

173
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: And my thing is with young.

174
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: Black kids, I always try to teach them that you

175
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: got to know how to change your levels.

176
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

177
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: When you go in for a job interview, you got

178
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: to know how to conduct yourself when you're on television

179
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: in front of millions of people, you got to know

180
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: how to conduct yourself. And for me, that word, I

181
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: feel like should be eradicated from all of our our

182
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: vocabularies as black folk, because we are the only ones

183
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: that look at ourselves and look down on ourselves.

184
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 2: That's why I feel like.

185
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: That moment for me was one of the worst moments

186
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: in my career because so many young Black kids as

187
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: well as white kids, Mexican kids, Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny,

188
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, as a kid, looked.

189
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: Up the booker t So I just want to make

190
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: sure I represent properly.

191
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 5: Most that's interesting that you say that, because you know

192
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, A lot of us love that moment obviously,

193
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 5: just because we've all been there from a mental standpoint

194
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 5: and just seeing it happen, it's like no doubt. But

195
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 5: then we look at other situations like with herk Angle

196
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 5: and saying his preferred choice of a name, saying I

197
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 5: know you guys revere that, but that's something that hurts me.

198
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 5: So for here, you said that was like, you know, yeah,

199
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 5: you guys love that, but that's like not one.

200
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 4: Of my product moments. That's just an interesting perspective from

201
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 4: the situation for sure.

202
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, I'm from the neighborhood, yes, sir,

203
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: But like I say, I wouldn't have made it this

204
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: far in this bitches. Thirty five years guys.

205
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:08,679

00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: You don't make it that far by slipping on a

211
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: banana peel.

212
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,720

Speaker 1: in life. Let loan this business for.

214

00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 4: fan fan.

216
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 5: I've always watching wrestling since I was a little kid,

217
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 5: and I remember you back in the WCW days and

218
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 5: I fell in love with you with Harlem Heat and

219
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 5: Stevie Ray, You and your brother y'all came out with

220
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 5: that theme song and that music, and like you said,

221
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 5: as a young black kid, I seen y'all on TV

222
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 5: and I'm like, oh shit, Like they wrestled, like yeah, yeah,

223
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 5: that moment right there. It made me fall in love

224
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 5: with wrestling. So when they said we had a booker

225
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 5: t on the show.

226
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,280

00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 5: I was fanned out and they make fun of me

228
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 5: because I live weights and he called me book.

229
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: No man. Representation, man, is very very important.

230
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: You know.

231
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,280

00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 5: So we wanted to say, all right, definitely, so it

319
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 5: might be two different programs. Definitely to word was definitely

320
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 5: listen man. So many questions about historic career. I know

321
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 5: we talked about this when you kind of have first

322
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 5: transition over from ww to WWE.

323
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: Now you are probably one of the most historic matches.

324
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 5: And we see a lot of these people on Instagram

325
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 5: now they doing like the independent wrestling type situation where

326
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 5: they out in the airport with it, they out in

327
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 5: the streets with it. But y'all was one of the

328
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 5: first to go to the supermarket with it.

329
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

330
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, Lee's talked about that historic mass situation.

331
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: Man, nah man, the grocery store fight with Steve Austin,

332
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's iconic moment. I never I never imagine that,

333
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: you know, weather in the storm and you know, lasting

334
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: more than twenty twenty years.

335
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: I never bad in that or anything.

336
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: Steve and I we were just going out and creating,

337
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, work, creating some magic and doing what we

338
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: do best.

339
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: And that's entertained the fans at that point in time.

340
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: It was it was that was that's that was called

341
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: the payoff, which you know, it was time for me

342
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: to put Steve Austin in the in the proper position

343
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: and uh and for me to do it to the

344
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: best of my ability.

345
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: I watched that video literally six months ago.

346
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: For the first time, all right six months ago, the

347
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: first time I watched the stole Coach Steve Austin and

348
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: Booker t in the grocery store, and I swear to god,

349
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: I cried real tears from the beginning of it to

350
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: the end because it was that damn funny. I did

351
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: some of my best work because I was crying. I

352
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: was begging, I was bargaining, I was pleading, I was

353
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: doing everything to get out of that ass whooping. But

354
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: at the end of it, man, it was some really,

355
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: really beautiful work in one of the WWE's most iconic moments

356
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: to where they played every year around this time.

357
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 5: I know we skipped over to WWE, but I like

358
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 5: to take it back to WCW and when you actually

359
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 5: won the championship. And I know it was in a

360
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 5: controversial way with Vince Russo and Hong Kongan when they

361
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 5: did what they did, but Jeff Jerry came out and

362
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 5: lay down, But then you fought later that night and

363
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 5: won a championship, Like what was that moment for you?

364
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: You know that that night when I won the championship.

365
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: You know, the stuff went down with Hokgan and Vince

366
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: Russo I really feel like if that wouldn't have happened,

367
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: by championship win wouldn't have been as big. I think

368
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: I've really needed all of that chaos in order for

369
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: people to really understand what was really really going on

370
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: when I finally won the championship.

371
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 2: But it was a great moment. It was a great moment.

372
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: I had about about literally five to ten minutes to

373
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: prepare for winning the World Everyweight Championship my first time.

374
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: But I think Jeff Jarrett more than anything.

375
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: I think Jeff Jarrett because man, he was such a

376
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: professional anyone out there made me feel so comfortable and

377
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: put me in a perfect position to go out there

378
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: and become the World Everyweight champion for the first time.

379
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for Jeff Jarrett, I don't know if

380
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: it would have ever happened, you know. So I really

381
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: think that dude, man. But what was going through my

382
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: mind was I tell you, it was a surreal moment

383
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: because winning the World Everyweight Championship was a moment that

384
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: I never thought about. I never put myself in that position.

385
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: I always just wanted to be the best damn wrestler

386
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: in that locker room. I always used to tell the

387
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: guys go follow that. You know what I mean, you know,

388
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: I'm top five in the world.

389
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: That's what I used to say.

390
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: And then when it came time for me to actually

391
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: win it, I questioned myself because I wondered if the

392
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: fan would actually, you know, take me being in that

393
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: position as world heavyweight champion. And I remember winning that

394
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: night and I went to my hotel room and I

395
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: sat on the edge of my bed for I don't know,

396
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: maybe an hour, and I didn't even go out, and

397
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: I didn't party or anything. I didn't have one drink

398
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: that night, and I went to sleep and I woke

399
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: up the next morning I had TV for night tro

400
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: and man, I realized everybody at party for me that night.

401
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: Everybody was so freaking glad I won the world everyweight championship.

402
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: And man, that really put a stamp of approval on

403
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: that moment for me.

404
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: It really did.

405
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 5: You talk about it being one of the most celebrated

406
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 5: wrestlers around, not even from the fans who obviously love you,

407
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 5: but from your peers, because what people don't know is

408
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 5: that's a grind if you could, could you tell us

409
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 5: what a day in a life as a professional wrestler's life,

410
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 5: You know.

411
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: What, Actually it's a it's a grind a day. It's

412
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: really hard to explain. Maybe say years. I never, like

413
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: throughout my whole wrestling career. Every time I was watching

414
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: football on Sunday, it was in an arena. It was

415
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: never at home, all right, So I was on the

416
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: road constantly. I remember when I when I joined and

417
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: signed with WWE. I used to have a boat in

418
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: WCW and I used to go on my boat every weekend.

419
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: I'd be out fishing, hanging out, trinking a beer, having fun.

420
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: And then I signed with WWE, and I was I

421
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: worked Gride Gride and one day I went to go

422
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: fishing on my boat, all right, So I had to

423
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: go get a new sticker put on my boat.

424
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: And I realized.

425
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: It was two thousand and five, four years later, that's

426
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: how much I had been working. I had been out

427
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: on my boat in four years. So it's a grind.

428
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: It's a constant grind. You gotta have blinders old. It's

429
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: it's one of those when you hear no days off,

430
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: that's a true statement. I remember watching the documentary with

431
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: Shake to Sneak Roberts Beyond the Mat and he said,

432
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: you know, when you signed that WWE contract he was

433
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 1: talking to his daughter, said, when you signed that WWE contract, baby,

434
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: you're obligated to work every day.

435
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: That's the grind.

436
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: So for me, I never took any vacations or anything

437
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: like that throughout my career. My wife and I we

438
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: got married. I didn't take a honeymoon. All of that

439
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: stuff came later. It was all about getting through this thing,

440
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 1: finishing it properly and getting to the other side, and

441
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: then enjoying the fruits of the labor like I'm doing

442
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: right now.

443
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 5: I'm living my best life. Just turned sixty, brother, looking good.

444
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 5: That's something you can relate to. Jeff obviously would have

445
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 5: been a professional athlete.

446
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: You know.

447
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 5: I'm saying yourll schedules are so crazy. People don't understand

448
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 5: the sacrifice that goes into that for your craft. Yeah,

449
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 5: you definitely sacrifice a lot, especially your family time, but

450
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 5: it's nowhere near being a wrestler. I mean, like you said,

451
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 5: it's every single day. We get almost six five or

452
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 5: six months off in the summer that had that time

453
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 5: to spend with your family and stuff like that. But

454
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 5: for him to do it all year around, and for

455
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 5: the fans. We really appreciate it because we're fans. We

456
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 5: love it. But man, that's unbelievable. No way in here

457
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 5: I could do it.

458
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: Well.

459
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's about bandishing down that time too,

460
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 1: because you know, it's not a matter of if you're

461
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: going to get hurt.

462
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of win, you know.

463
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: So for me, I always thought about, you know, working

464
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: a certain way on the house show, working a certain

465
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: way on TV overseas, you know what i mean, pay

466
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: per view.

467
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: Everything was different.

468
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: Structuring, you know, the workouts, you know, like on the road,

469
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: I would just do push ups and the rubber bed,

470
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of baby all.

471
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: Go on down.

472
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: Why are climbing from bucket?

473
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: No doubt?

474
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,239

505
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,959

506
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,440

00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: working on my ten year player. What's gonna happen over

511
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: these next ten years? What can I create over these

512
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: next ten years? More than anything?

513
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: Now, who does Booker team model his golf game after?

514
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: Probably, uh, definitely not a Tiger Woods or anything like that.

515
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm way on the time.

516
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm way down allege. I wouldn't say, Charles, are you

518
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 4: Charles and Tiger.

519
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 5: So now I wanted to ask, I'm a like I said,

520
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 5: I'm a huge fan. Your first WrestleMania moment when you

521
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 5: came over from w WCW and you had your chance

522
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 5: to be at WrestleMania. We hear WrestleMania Weekend. What was

523
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 5: your first moment? Like, man, it was it was surreal

524
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 5: being in Canada.

525
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, going against Edge.

526
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: I remember walking out the curtain, and I mean before

527
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: I walked out the Kurtin. I remember an undertaker he

528
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: was sitting at what we called the gorilla position, and

529
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: he said, make sure you take it all in. And

530
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: I really didn't think about that before he said that.

531
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: And then I walked out on stage and I stopped

532
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: and I just looked around. It was like seventy thousand people,

533
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, man, this is fricking this

534
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: is awesome because you got to think about it. Seventy

535
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: thousand people coming to see that twenty by twenty square

536
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: foot that's all. That's it. That's it, you know what

537
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean. It's not a football field or anything like that,

538
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: twenty by twenty and for them to come to see you,

539
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: the ones that had those sides up, you know what

540
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean.

541
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: You know, it's awesome. It's the most you know, adrenaline rush.

542
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: You're ever gonna have nothing, nothing, it's ever gonna top

543
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: that moment, you know, So get that out of your head,

544
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, when it's all over with, take it and

545
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: savor that moment, and hopefully you'll get a few more

546
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: of those moments, you know. And for me, you know,

547
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: I definitely got a chance to have many more of those.

548
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: WrestleMania moments. But uh, for for young people that's getting

549
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: into this business, that's you know.

550
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 2: That that think about it and wonder about it.

Speaker 1: wrestling a certain way. I always looked at it as

570
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: a performance. And I always say, guys, I always say,

571

Speaker 1: side where she actually won Miss Black America in India Indianapolis,

607

621
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,760

00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 5: Because we all know obviously when you came out, you

631
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, We got the flares going, everybody

632
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 5: gigged about it. What's that moment You're just like, Nah,

633
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 5: this is it? This why I'm about to pull up

634
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 5: to work every day.

635
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: Went I remember back in ninety one, late ninety one

636
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: when they first oh Dad is right that too, when

637
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: they first approached us with this sound right here. It

638
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: was just out of an abundance of music that we

639
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: just had to pick from. And as soon as we

640
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: heard it, man, I was like, man, that's it, that's

641
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: the song.

642
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: Just because I wouldn't It's very, very important.

643
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: As far as the music you have, you do your

644
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: name like such as Booker T and Stevie Ray championship names,

645
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: championship names. We want a championship music as well. And

646
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: I wanted everybody, all of the fans to have an

647
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: experience when they heard that music. And that music was

648
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: so unique. It wasn't rap, you know what I mean.

649
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: It had its own feel, its own flavor.

650
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: And when you.

651
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: Heard it, you go, oh, man to come to boys,

652
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,360

00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: you know.

654
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 2: So no, man, that music still to this day and

655
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: it hypes me up. Man.

656
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: My wife got that on her phone, so I got

657

Speaker 1: Yes, I hear my house.

661
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 5: What was it like though, when you changed it when

662
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 5: you came King Booker, Well, no.

663
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: The royal music it was. It was majestic. Man.

664
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: You know, I couldn't even call myself Booker T.

665
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 2: I had to be king, but go.

666
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 1: Roy It had to be majestic. I became Booker. I

667
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: had to believe it. I had to believe it. In

668
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: one I had to believe that like somebody hit me

669
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: on the head, and I, you know, had amnesia and

670
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: really woke up believing that I was a key for

671
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: two years. For two years after I was King Booker,

672
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: I could go to a restaurant and.

673
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: I would never pay for a meal.

674
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: I would I haven't pay for a drink because somebody

675
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: would say, King Booker, please let me get that for you.

676
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: You know, every time. I still to this day, I'm.

677
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 4: About to change my name.

678
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: Right, that's far. That's far, you know. So no, man,

679
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 2: it was so cool playing that role.

680
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: Plus, I was thinking about Hollywood at that time, and

681
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that some director, some producer, they

682
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: got to be watching this.

683
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: They gotta be seeing, Oh man, you know, do some

684
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: great work.

685
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 3: You know, what's your most memorable moment in the ring

686
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 3: with your brother man?

687
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: Most memorable moment with my brother love with sister Sherry

688
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: would be Sturgis, South Dakota, hog while against the against

689
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: the Steiner brothers and the reason why we was the

690
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: only black guys in Sturge of South Dakota. It was crazy,

691
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: it was. It was a stupidest thing in the world.

692
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: I kept asking myself did I get here? It was

693
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: like freaking being in the Wizard of Oz. I'm serious.

694
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: It was that crazy because, like I said, we was

695
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: the only brothers there who was going to give the

696
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: Sinner Brothers and circle around the ring. Everybody was on

697
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: motorcycle and they rode out on their harleys and we

698
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: beat the hell out the Stidner. We almost started a riot. Man,

699
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 1: they started throwing rocks in us, man and everything. Security

700
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: had to get us out of there. I remember telling

701
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: the fans, like I say, it was nothing but bikers,

702
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: and I remember getting the microphone and I said, listen,

703
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't like Red Knicks, did you? People are Red Nicks?

704
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: You out of pocket what you was asking for? But

705
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: I had to act tough just to see if it

706
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: would work. That's what my god. I don't know what

707
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: I was thinking. I really don't, but but it worked.

708
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: I got those guys that was so riled up. Then

709
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: it made that match so freaking awesome. Just getting out

710
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: of that was the problem.

711
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 4: I can't imagine the real match after, so I'm sure

712
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 4: they ain't pick up the tag in here.

713
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 5: I would ask you this question, obviously with the wonderful progression.

714
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 4: Listen, we live at WWE World.

715
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 5: What's it like as you see the progression with the company,

716
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 5: and then you start seeing yourself getting branded so many

717
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 5: different places, especially like with video games. I know, for

718

Speaker 5: all us going up playing video games, like it's some

719
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 5: classic wrestling games. What's that like when you were a

720
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 5: part of that? Now, because now you got a whole

721
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 5: different market.
