He speaks about Summerslam, what he likes to do in his spare time, working with guys like the Undertaker, what he thinks about David Beckham and Soccer, the Chris Benoit tragedy and the media, as well as other things.
jTj sent this in: This morning (24 August), King Booker was doing an interview on the Johnny Dare Morning Show out of Kansas City, Missouri. Not much to note from the interview. There was a lot of hype about SummerSlam and a little bit of talk about Triple H, calling him “King” Booker, and Rey Mysterio. Dare mentioned that he wanted to talk about the Chris Benoit tragedy, and that was the end of the conversation. Whoever was controlling Booker T’s end of the phone, terminated the phone conversation by hanging up on Johnny Dare. Don’t know if it was WWE, T himself, or an assistant. I really have no idea, but thought I’d share it with you.
