🎧 Listen to the full episode on Hall of Fame with Booker T

Dave Meltzer/Jericho Cruise incident

The claims were that the incident between him [Dave Meltzer] and I on the Jericho Cruise really never happened. The incident was with Sharmell and his 63-year-old cousin who was a former kickboxer who was battling cancer. If Dave doesn't remember it that way, I apologize. But the way he framed the story was totally inaccurate.

I swear to God, the one reason I wanted to tell that story and get it out there because I had a feeling that one day Dave Meltzer would lie about it. One thing you can say a lot of things about me, but I'm no liar.

Conan health update

I heard that Conan had a leg amputation. Conan's a good friend of mine, man. He was always in the locker room chopping it up. My prayers go up for Conan to fight and get through what he's going through.

Pat McAfee WWE status

Pat McAfee may not be coming back. He said, 'I don't think you ever say never, especially with the WWE, but right now it doesn't feel like something that's supposed to happen. It feels like that business has kind of passed me by a little bit.'

Dominik Mysterio/Intercontinental Championship

I want my IC championship back. I don't care what I have to do. I'm willing to put my hair up on the line against his mask and that IC championship. I'll even put up my mustache whatever it takes to get my IC title back.

Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill heat

I don't know anything [about Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill's heat], but it might be true. That's just part of the business. I've worked with a lot of guys that I didn't like. As long as we know we can do business, that's the only thing that matters.

The Judgment Day origins

I fought it [The Judgment Day] for a long time. I just wasn't, I don't know, it felt like weird and hokey, like at the very beginning of it. But then I was like, something happened where all four of us clicked.

Dominik Mysterio/AAA

The wildest one for me was showing up in AAA for the first time in Juan de la Barrera. I was told allegedly when they were recording the speakers, it was so loud that the speakers blew out. They couldn't capture the full audio of it because it was so loud.

NXT Vengeance Day/Tatum Paxley

Tatum Paxley, she's found herself in this character. I didn't know if this character had any sustainability, but when she did the one move to Warrior, she turned the move in the offense and did the Undertaker, almost sit up but standing up. Bro, I say, okay, now she finally got me.

Kerwin Silfies passing

I love Kerwin Silfies, man. He was the one that really wanted to do the movie by Booker T. He was the one that really was pushing for it. He was always a good dude, man. God bless him and condolences to his family.
