@@user-hm1kx6mx1n couldn't agree more
He's my favorite wrestler of all time
One of the best to ever do it
Sucka
He became a fan right away when he saw Booker 😂😂😂 Booker is a damn Icon
He's been a fan since childhood
One of the greatest to ever step in that squared circle.
@@LuisMartinez-le2pc x2!
@@joshschneider9766he meant he went from ufc champion to a fanboy as soon as he seen it was him
Booker T is a legend and a BOSS
I ran into Booker at a random gas station in Bastrop TX yeeeeeears ago. He was with his family, but he and his wife were still kind enough to sigh an autograph and take a picture. He's a real one!!!!
What was he driving? Does he still have that Camaro (or was it a Firebird)?
What did he drive back then?
They’re the absolute best. Been lucky enough to have multiple interactions with them, and it’s truly a beautiful thing to see such a loving kind couple
Did u see him at the Bucees there ?
Never seen Izzie star-struck before. Booker T isn't just a wrestler, he's an icon to many 💯💎
Booker T did a lot for a lot of people. He is damn humble, too.
And he has a great wrestling school to train the next generation
He's also a bit of a shit stirrer and liar.
@@pavma7 yep. Roxanne is gonna be a STAR
I've heard different stories from his kids, that he's not as humble as you think.
Yeah, he also stole the rock bottom and called it the bookend😂
I love how so many "celebrities" aren't ashamed to show they're a wrestling fan. He geeked out😂
Ok
Not saying it's bc of this bc I genuinely believe he is a fan after seeing this clip but WWE AND UFC are partners now so. But that still doesn't change the fact that I think he truly is a fan, and you love to see it!!
@@amarikimble-coker4204he did a walkout to undertaker theme music before the partnership he did his own highlight edit using Batista theme music he also did a pre fight warm up for one of his fights where he did a couple of wrestling movies before the partnership he also walked out to the rocks theme music before the partnership of and this clip was before the partnership to so yeah he been a fan he also talk about it in interviews.
Wrestling is cool again. I love it.
@@ajmoe it never stopped being cool
Booker T was that DUDE 🫡💯
We had sooooo many good wrestlers back in the day
I meet Booker at a restaurant in Miami, I walked up and said "hello, nice to meet you sir" and shook his hand he reciprocated the same respect back.
“sorry just being a fan” he so us😂😂
what
Hes so lame as funk. Dipshiitt
@@adamlansdowne2985what
Weirdo
@@wilonealtaylorjr826your hate is going too far dude it’s Booker T. If you wouldn’t stop and be like “Oh wow Booker T” then you’re a weirdo.
I started to say “suckaaaa” cause of him lol ❤️👑🔥
I say, _"Tell_ me... You did not just say that!"
I. Can. Dig. THAT! 🔥 🔥 🔥
@@czikkanhardt4750 i always remember when rikishi was in the bathroom and booker t was brushing his teeth and saying DAMN BRA :p
I say "Don't hate the playa, hate the game!" Cus of him....
Stone cold is the same for me he’s the the reason I starting saying during arguments and disagreements and that’s all I got to say about that and that’s the bottom line and here’s to ya🖕🏼and WHAT
I swear sometimes in a argument I feel like I’m cutting an Austin promo instead of actually arguing 😂🤷🏻♂️✌🏼
Booker T you can tell is genuine and truly a good man, very humble
Adesanya showing RESPECCCCT...
Far to few likes on this one
"Is that Booker T?"
"It is." 😂 so matter of fact about it.
He clearly was a SUCKA
Yep that guy knew who was sitting there
Booker really did a lot for us Black boys. His cultural impact, especially at WCW, can never be downplayed
so true
For other races too, Asian, Hispanics etc etc. wanted to be like Booker.
Bill Goldberg did a lot for us chocolate dipped boys
I'm just a simple man... just stay in silence for around 20 seconds and then scream ...
....DAMN!!!
Not just black boys, also brown boys. Let's go!!!
People dont even realize how huge WWE AND WCW stars are popular outside of the states.
You'll see a small child in Lagos Nigeria screaming and imitating Jeff Hardy's entrance routine.
LEGENDS. ALL OF THEM😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
"Hulk Hogan, we coming for YOU" slight paraphrase. Favorite line from him because of how much energy he had.
"slight paraphrase" is crazy 😂😂
As a white kid growing up rural/small cities, Booker had a HUGE cultural impact on me. Can’t tell you how many times I ran around screaming “can ya dig it…SUCKA?!?!”
it's all love white brotha
Fuck yeah.
@@user-ex1vd9td7kThats the issue tho stop gate keeping the culture like you giving him some pass or something you dont own anyones blackness let alone have the authority to give any authorization to enjoy or not enjoy the culture saying "its all love white brother" the fact you added color to this ruined this positive experience....do better!!!
ew whites
@@YaddaLangley cry more Karen
“Sorry, just being a fan” basically means he’s not going to just act professional when there’s a legend sitting in the back chilling 😂
He gave Booker T a shout out. That is professionalism
You can tell Izzy is a real down to earth dude. 😂
Some days, then he goes on rants about how when New Zealanders aren't fans they must be racist.
Deserved. Booker T is a legend. It must have felt good to be shouted out like that
My pops used to tell me they wouldn’t let a black guy be anything besides tag team champion. Still remember watching Nitro when he won the TV Title for the first time against Disco Inferno and calling my dad while he was at work all excited. He was favorite wrestler since he was on Harlem Heat, seeing his career from that point on was very inspiring. Booker T is one of the best to ever grace the squared circle.
Check out my guy Ron Simmons, he was the first black heavyweight champ in mainstream wrestling. He beat Big Van Vader for the WCW belt. Amazing moment as a kid seeing that. Ron ran so Booker could fly. Two legends.
Ron Simmons was first black world champ of WCW, it was WWF/WWE where we thought there would never be a black world champion. Even til this day, none of WWE's black world champs have had a serious and meaningful run except the Rock. @@Black_Phillip_215
That's dope
@Black_Phillip_215 love this
@@FredSavage-ox1ny appreciate you
Booker t underrated superstar and a great guy
The Harlem Hangover is a nasty finisher.
@@mero40kYh Dunno why he used to use the rock bottom for
The Book End guy,...the Book End!!! Lol@@MoRawat-ob5ej
In what world is Booker T underrated?????? He's one of the more well known wrestlers throughout the history of the industry.
Booker T really deserved all of his success. One of the greats!
Respect for another champion who knows what it means to risk it all to entertain and take care of family!
If he walks out to that Harlem Heat Music for his intro I would lose it.
He should! Since UFC and WWE are owned by the same company now, they should be able to use the WWE music library if they want to.
@@JackgarPrimethey can , Colby been coming out to Kurt angles theme for a while
He came out to undertakers music a while ago.
@@shaeisgae8952 Nooooo that was Michael Venom Page
@@Jakers96 That actually was Adesanya who did that with the hat and urn included.
Book had a really hard life, but became so damn wholesome.
People who have it the hardest & went through the most in life always come out on top 💯 well most of the time let’s be realistic
Homie made sure that he says "5 time" five times. That's a cute moment 🙌🏾🔥❤️
Being a kid from Harlem, seeing this guy in the ring changed the trajectory of my life
Even when I learned early that he wasn't from Harlem, but in fact from Texas I still saw him as one of the greats!
@@RaytheGrayt thats legendary man. One of the best to do it
@@wolfofharlem so how did you change your life bro?
@@RaytheGraytwasn't his brother from Harlem or based out of Harlem for his own wrestling career?
@@pratyushrishabbiswas6912 it showed me that anything you put your mind to is possible. It gave me hope and inspired to become a better version of myself. Wild stuff to think about as a child
Booker is a real one! Love Booker my 2nd Favorite WCW Wrestler behind only Sting!
All the talent WCW has and Booker and DDP were my favorite.
@@antonlifer4449 DDP was awesome too went from manager to champ!
I’m not mad at cha
Booker
DDP
Sting (Crow version)
Rey Jr
Juventud
@@antonlifer4449 DDP had some of the coolest moves!!!
Booker T is a fucking legend. His aura alone in WCW/WWE made him one of the greats for sure 💯
You never know who you will influence so be the best, be humble, be thankful, and be someone peole can look up to.
He said 5 time ufc champ
Nah shit we heard the same thing that was in the video
CTE
Yeah he was putting a spin on his saying that fit the situation
@@loganboyd6609nah he wasn't 😂😂😂
@@zacharybibeau276 he quite literally was
Its not often you see a 6'3 256 lb jacked man stuffed in a suit trying to blend into a press conference setting 😂
For real 😂😂😂😂
H-Town legend Booker T lesgoo
Booker T pass by my store at thr airport at least twice every month.. and man let me tell u...his aura is iconic! I wish we be friends! He a legend! Inspirational.
Booker’s impact in our community specifically is greater than the Rocks, and this isn’t for division or any of that. just saying he was the guy for us
💯
Agree with you 100%
It’s expected. The Rock embraces his samoan side way more than his black side.
Can’t really compare the two, it’s apples to oranges
@@insanesundew5105 why can't fruit be compared?
Israel is going to do SPINAAAROONEY😂😂😂
DAMN! Stole my line lol
I still remember the night the Whole locker room came out on live tv at the end of a show to try and get Taker to do the damn Spinarooney 🤦🏾♂️😂
He did one after the costa fight 😂 a whole ass airflare lmaoooo
Do bro got a French mani wow not him I was almost a fan when he was talking bout sum trout clout shit with Jon jones😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
Lol that's amazing. You don't know the impact you will have on ppl... always be the best version of you, and never give up because someone is looking up to you.
It must feel very good to be recognized and appreciated for your Hard Work in your own industry by people from other industries
I went to a ROW show and seeing Booker T that close and in person, took me back to Harlem Heat and WCW days.
Booker T truthfully got everyone respect because the man never hide where he came from and what he did then paid his debt to society and turned his life around along with his big brother, and with his employer believing in Booker T’s future on becoming a pro wrestler and becoming a successful man in doing so! The struggles is real and yet Booker showed us all that if you want something in life you work hard for it and Booker did just that he didn’t make excuses or squander the opportunity given to him to fulfill everything he did and even now look at Booker he been in WWE longer then he ever was in WCW he is helping the younger talent in NXT along HBK and has his own thing with ROW back home in Texas giving back to the community that gave him a chance and is paying it forward over 10 folds!
I love it. That quick snap to the childlike wonder, followed by the attempt to grip reality is amazing.
That IS the appropriate response to seeing the Five time, 5 time, 5x, V ⏳, IIIII time WCW Champion after all...
Tbh any fan who grew up watching wrestling would react that way if we ever saw Booker in real life. Dude is an absolute icon. Easily a top 10 all time great. He was always one of my favourites as a kid.
He showed more love to him than the wwe did.... You love to see it.
Facts
Booker T aged well.
True.......
A star among stars, Booker did commentary for a real boxing event and usually boxing fans HATE when anybody outside of boxing does anything in boxing but Booker was the only non boxer I ever seen boxing fans all happy to have around the sport
Wrestlers are unique like that. Once they got you as a fan then you're a fan for life.
I'm almost 50 and I wouldn't even call myself a wrestling fan anymore, but there's still a part of me that reverts to being an excited 12 year old whenever I come across one of my old favs.
he marked out and it was wholesome :)
Only celebrity I’ll cry for when they die. love this dude my favourite wrestler ever he is so underrated big up 🇨🇦🇬🇩✊🏿#blackexcellence
Booker T was the man. Priceless reaction from Izzy 👍🏽
Booker seems like such a chill and fun dude.
This is the reason im so happy wwe and ufc are together now for awesome moments like this😢
All I needed was an excerpt of Carlito at the end exclaiming: “Now THAT…is cool”! 😂
No surprise Booker T is one of the greatest to ever do it.
I used to watch booker in the 90s when he was in wcw. Always entertaining and a super athlete
Love booker T is the most humble dude ..pleasure meeting you brother..
Booker T is a really cool dude in person. I had the honor of meeting him a few years back.
“Is that booker t?”
“It is”
LMFAO
The spinaroonie is legendary work. His entrance theme, the way he comes out, having his wife by his side supporting each other. Everything about Booker T is why I loved watching him wrestle. Salute to him 🫡
His theme tune lives in my head rent free 😂
"Can you dig it? Suckkaaaaa!!!"
That was a legitimately wholesome Adesanya moment, and Booker is so humble and cool.
My top five wrestler in order: Booker T, Kane, Ken Shamrock, Brock Lesnar, Stone Cold. Even with WWE sabotaging his career, Booker T was the one that true wrestling fans loved to see his match, and wanted to see win the WWE belt.
Booker is a legend! Always seems such a cool guy.
Booker T is a trail blazer and forever a fucking legend put some respect on his name
I don't watch UFC but this guy is an automatic win for me since Booker T is one of my favorites growing up too.
To be fair, I would’ve been the exact same way LOL!!!
Booker T is the GOAT, really paved the way for black wrestlers like Kofi Kingston, Bobby Lashley and Trick Williams, he was such an UNDENIABLE talent that even during a time where black wrestlers where being booked in questionable ways, he ended up winning a world championship.
I feel bad, Booker T was one of those wrestlers I hated for no reason as a kid, maybe cuz he was WCW but going back and watching him, he was so underrated in WWE
WWF/WWE was my childhood hahaha The Attitude Era was golden
Booker T is one of my all time favourites
When the guy goes from being the focal point of a press conference to a fan had to feel really cool for Book. Dude has influenced and entertained a bunch of people through the years. Ya never know where you will find us wrestling fans lol
We were all WWE fans when we were young. Childhood memories flow back when you look at any of these WWE stars.
Booker-T My top 5 list in WWE
This guy is too LEGEND
I still dont get enough of it, he should be atleast 10 times world champion. He deserved more than that
Coming back from Wrestlemaina 33 in Orlando, our connecting flight went through Houston. Booker T was on our flight.
Can you Dig it!!!
Sucka....!!!😮
Booker T is awsome he has a phenomenal story dude deserves his flowers
I loved Booker T in WCW. He was probably my favorite when he became a singles competitor at that time.
Booker T was the guy for a minute in WCW an WWE
Booker and Kane were my absolute favourites as a good
Booker T, Harlem Heat baby! Plus the many more Booker T gig's he did. King BOOKER!
Book was my childhood favourite in wcw. Remember him first coming to wwf and and couldn’t wait to see what he could do on that stage. Then he became The King. Love his work
This reminds me of that video of that lady who was doing stand-up comedy and noticed Tony Hawk on the panel.
“Sorry just being a fan” that was wholesome af
Man i fucking love Booker T. I used to look forward to seeing his matches on Nitro and Thunder. I knew how good he was from the start and am so glad he finally got his chance to shine towards the end of WCW and throughout his WWE run.
From answering a press conference question to being a child again seeing Booker and reciting his catch phrases.
That's not booker T,
That's King... BookAH 😂❤
At least someone in the room gave him the respect he’s supposed to receive. What an incredible moment for both of them
Booker T is underrated in wrestling. Him at WCW was some of the best matches!
Meet my brother used to say that all the time five time 🤣🤣🤣
It's KING BOOKAH to you.
He was the guy with the most swag and his finishing move the scissor kick was fucking one of the coolest finishes.
Book is one of the most original wrestlers of all time. Charisma off the charts. Should have been the top guy in the WWF.
The most likable izzy has ever been
Why hate on people you don't know
5 time 5 time
Pro wrestling will always help turn out superstars for MMA. The amount of kids that took up any mix of martial arts over the years started out watching wrestling. Guys like Chael Sonnen helped teach the art of selling a fight and that was directly informed by wrestling. Love this, it's historical.
Israel be just enjoying life. Living in the moment.
Just imagine his career if hogan had not blocked him from winning the strap earlier..
From Bad Bunny to Izzy and everyone in between, Book is that guy!!
Booker T dropping an N Bomb and realising straight away is one of the best clips from WWE...
He is a legend though
