5. Stevie Ray Recalls Hulk Hogan Shutting Down Randy Savage With Just One Statement
During a recent appearance on the Murder Master Music Show, former WCW Tag Team Champion Stevie Ray (Booker T’s brother and tag team partner in Harlem Heat) talked about Booker T calling Hulk Hogan the N word on live TV and Hulk Hogan shutting down Randy Savage with just one statement. Below are the highlights:
Booker T calling Hulk Hogan the N word on live pay-per-view:
“We were doing a live pay per view and we had cut a promo earlier that day, we are getting to go to the ring and one of the production guys said we had to redo the promo because someone messed it up. We were like “What the f*** man?” You just don’t do it on a pay-per-view, it leaves a chance for a f*** up. This is live!
We were in the corner going over the match with each other and this is the s*** people don’t know about, and now we are talking about Hulk Hogan, and I’m like, “We don’t have a damn thing to do with Hulk Hogan.” So now we are trying to think about what to say during the interview.
It went viral years later! I kept a straight face because I was focusing on what I was trying to do, I didn’t pay attention to what he was saying. I didn’t know until afterwards when Booker told me he messed up. He was thinking about two different things at the same time. If that had happened during pre-taping you just cut it out and start over.”
Hogan shutting down Randy Savage with just one statement:
“Randy Savage is the ring leader and we were catering the next day and my brother is still down about the whole thing, and Hulk Hogan comes into catering and Randy Savage runs up to him and said, “Hey man Booker T called you a n—a,” and Hogan was getting his food and he said “Oh yeah, he called me a n—a, OK, at least I’m a good n—a.”
I fell out laughing and that ended it. He shut all the boys down and Randy Savage down with that one statement and we didn’t hear about it until years later on YouTube.”
