Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently took to an episode of his “Hall Of Fame” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including one of the first conversations he had with former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
Booker T said, “That’s [being himself] one of the first conversations I had with Vince McMahon when I first started the company. I remember it vividly. I went out to the ring and I had this agent telling me this, and I had this agent telling me this, you know, I had this agent telling me not to do this, and this agent over here, he was just like, just do it. and I went back to Vince and I said, ‘Vince, can I have a meeting with you? Can I talk to you?’ And he was like, ‘yeah.’ And I said, ‘Vince, I got this guy telling me to do this. I got this agent telling me to do this. I got this agent telling me not to do this.’ I say, ‘Look, I know I’m going to get fired doing it that way. Is it okay if I go out and do it my way? And if I don’t get over it, just fire me.’ That was my pitch. So I could see Stone Cold Steve Austin saying none of this other stuff. I know I’m not going to get overdoing that, so let me shoot my shot. If it doesn’t work out, get rid of me.”
