In the same chat with Xavier Woods about New Day's unlikely success and Woods' work on the UpUpDownDown YouTube gaming channel, Booker T had a little video game story of his own from back in ye olden times.

Shortly after winning the WCW World Title, Booker turned down the chance to have his own dressing room. He wanted to get changed with the boys, but did tell management to get him a 55-inch TV so he could take his PlayStation on the road every week. Those bonding sessions, specifically when playing Madden, continued when Booker joined WWE.

That came with some problems.

Unbeknownst to Booker, the promotion had an unwritten locker room rule against gaming. Book found this out first hand when he coaxed D'Lo Brown into a few games of NFL, and saw the flustered look cross his peer's face when Michael Hayes stumbled upon their little party. D'Lo's expression changed when Hayes walked in, and he suddenly made excuses to leave.
