Austin states, “The way Booker made his debut there, Midlands Arena in New Jersey, went the way it was supposed to go. He threw me through the table. The problem was I just bounced off that table into a chair leg and broke some bones in my back.”
Even after all these years, Booker T apologizes to Steve Austin as he still feels that it was his fault. Austin initially thought it was Booker’s fault but now reassures Booker that it wasn’t his fault at all.
In the episode, Austin explains how his injury became a good thing for him as it combined Booker and himself to do comedic stuff. He reveals it was highly entertaining and helped him from a heel standpoint because the fans weren’t ready to hate “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
Booker T and Stone Cold’s Rivalry
The rivalry between Booker and Austin was one of the highlights of the attitude era. Both men would tussle with each other in supermarkets, in bingo halls, in confessional, etc. You name it, they’ve wrestled there. Triple H also had something to say,
“I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Booker in that light before. So I think it was eye-opening for a lot of people that he was more than just a “get in the ring and wrestle guy.” He was an entertainer.
“It took place in an actual grocery store with actual groceries,” added Stephanie McMahon
Booker T stated that the outside-the-ring feud was something he is proud of. He added that wrestling was something that he never took so seriously that he couldn’t look back and laugh at himself.
