People don't understand the cultural impact Booker T had in young men across the country

[cheekloins]

Booker T did a lot for a lot of people. He is damn humble, too.

[ismaelgm]

He became a fan right away when he saw Booker 😂😂😂 Booker is a damn Icon

[gundomatumba]

Never seen Izzie star-struck before. Booker T isn't just a wrestler, he's an icon to many 💯💎

[edwardjr]

Booker T was that DUDE 🫡💯

We had many good wrestlers back in the day

[conradsutton]

I love how so many "celebrities" aren't ashamed to show they're a wrestling fan. He geeked out😂

[OC]

"Is that Booker T?"
"It is." 😂 so matter of fact about it.

[SaiSaiGre]

Booker really did a lot for us Black boys. His cultural impact, especially at WCW, can never be downplayed

[surrglight]

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.

[franciscocuevas]

I started to say “suckaaaa” cause of him lol ❤️👑🔥

[greedygray]

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?!?!”

[bigboyepic]

"Hulk Hogan, we coming for YOU" slight paraphrase. Favorite line from him because of how much energy he had.

[Ria-sdex]

That was a legitimately wholesome Adesanya moment, and Booker is so humble and cool.

[Hendrixxx]

“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 😂

[alexblue]

I ran into Booker at a random gas station in Bastrop TX 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!!!!

[NewportBagies]

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.

[dotkiiy]

Respect for another champion who knows what it means to risk it all to entertain and take care of family!

[rollandcurtisfromVermont]

That was cool! I love to see brothas from different backgrounds acknowledging other brothas. I love it.

[johnrumancik]

Booker T you can tell is genuine and truly a good man, very humble

Its not often you see a 6'3 256 lb jacked man stuffed in a suit trying to blend into a press conference setting 😂
