    Booker T is an absolute gentleman. I worked for him and Sharmell at a comic con taking the money for then and they tipped me £100. I said that we weren't meant to take tips, and Sharmell said that "we're hard working people and you've worked hard today. You've earned it and take it". Lovely people

    I ran into Devon at a Walgreens in Merritt Island, FL on Christmas Day 2012. He was super nice, I had both of my young sons at the time that were huge wrestling fans. He talked with them for 20 minutes and took photos with them. Again it was Christmas and he was running in to grab one item but still took time away from his family to talk with my sons. Amazing down to earth guy.

      Booker T won every single match against Triple H up to Wrestlemania for the build up. There's even a match where Him and Scott Stiner beat Evolution in a 2 vs 4. The general rule of thumb: Whoever wins the build up matches loses the PPV match. Triple H can't lose every single match against booker T man. The mistake they made was, if they were gonna have the Heel go over at wrestlemania, then Booker should have lost all the build up matches.

      I think at the time that was a poor rash decision by HHH to give their match some heat because on that WM19 card I’d argue 4-5 more matches had more steam behind them. Doesn’t make what he did right but yeah. Hogan/McMahon, Austin/Rock, Angle/Lesnar, Jericho/HBK

      @ Well Booker thinks differently. He mentioned in an interview that this loss completely derailed his career. He said of course he gained back all of the momentum later in his career, but this really bothered him. He said even today, this still ticks him off. And I don’t blame him.

      Also shitting on a sandwich seems like a lot of work. Throwing it away seems to be easier & way less messy than preparing it, so I have my doubts that anybody ever did that.

      ​@@michaelbull4344 as a non-american, this makes so much more sense than it being okay to say but only when black people say it. Because in other countries, it's a hard concept to wrap our head around. There's taboo words all over the world. But outside the west, we dont have taboo words that certain people are exempt from.
      Either everyone can say it or no one can. That's people saying the n-word isnt as much of a big deal outside the west (asia, for example). Because we hear in music and movies and think well they say it so that means it's not taboo.

I appologized to them about saying it one day when I was older and explained why I stopped it. 1. its wrong on my part regardless if I get a pass. 2. i put my friend in a bad position. 3.

    "If I was standing there, where Booker was, I would say something. But the truth is knowing that this man signs the front of my checks, I probably wouldn't have." Maven said it best, and therein lies the problem...
    The amount of men and women who probably had to swallow their pride just because they felt as though they needed to commit to the outlandish ideas of Vince McMahon just to protect their own careers is insane. Regardless of this empire that he's built, and the memories he's given us, let's separate the art from the artist and acknowledge the fact that Vince NEEDS to pay for the atrocities he's gotten away with on television and behind closed doors, karma will come to collect.

      ​@FanBoy4K Can't say most. That's an over-generalization. I also don't think D-von's explanation was a great one. I can see his point, but he is also an "old-head" in the black community that more than likely just doesn't feel comfortable with the word. The younger generation than him changed the rules. The counter-argument will always be that black people have reclaimed the power that word has from white people that would say it with malice. It's a real phenomenon with lots of different oppressed groups of people in thay they take the racial/homophobic slurs used against them and repurpose them in their favor. The ideology is the same as when a bully would call you "fat" or "ugly," in that if you just lean into the insult, the power those words have against you in a demeaning sense are nullified. It still isn't an excuse or invitation for the bully to still use those words without repercussions. So yeah, rap those words in your car alone all you want...but try it in public and the consequences are yours to handle should they arise.
