10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Booker T

9. He Walked In On Vince McMahon Saying "My Nigga"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtAJqeTpDis It was late 2005 when Vince McMahon was talking to John Cena backstage. Vince asked John "what's good in the hood" in an awkward, old man kind of way. John said something generic about defending the WWE Title. Then Vince said something we didn't really expect: "Keep it up, my nigga." That's not a misprint. It's what McMahon said. As he walked away, Booker T showed up with his wife Sharmell. It allowed Booker to pause for a moment and utter his catchphrase: "tell me he didn't just say that." It was a comedy segment and good hearted fun, but it was still weird to see Vince script that and say it on television. It didn't necessarily piss people off. Perhaps it was done as an ode to Booker's famous mistake promo in WCW where he dropped the "n" word when talking about Hulk Hogan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8NX-HxX-A0 That would have been an entry on its own, but the WCW moments don't count.
