Booker T Says King Booker's Accent Had To Be Stupid
Booker T discusses his glorious WWE reign as King Booker.
Aug 1, 2023
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T was recently interviewed by Chris Van Vliet, and spoke about his King Booker persona.
Booker began his stint with the King-based gimmick after winning the 2006 King of the Ring tournament. It was a successful run which saw him become World Heavyweight Champion. On the topic of the character, Booker said:
“I was the greatest king of all time; they can’t even do it anymore because I was such a great king. It’s dead, it can never be done. And that was by design as well; that didn’t happen by accident. I knew being King Booker was going to break the mold. No one was ever going to be able to follow that act ever again.
“The accent just had to be stupid. It didn’t have to be real. But it had to be serious [...] you know, I had to believe it. Then I will break character and go street, but I will kick back into my character.”
