10 Wrestling Rituals You Didn't Know About
9. Booker T's Recipe Of Meditation And Red Bull
When it comes to being 'on', few people have the energy of two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. Whether that was in the ring, during a promo, at the announce desk, or in his most recent role as an analyst, the Master of the Spinarooni was and is always brimming with vibrancy.
During his wrestling days, the way that Book would get ready for his matches was maybe not what you'd expect from someone with such high energy and excitement levels. Pulling a page out of Rob Van Dam's book, Booker T's pre-match ritual began with a healthy dose of meditation.
After a relaxing, calming meditation session, the five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time WCW Champion would start to up his energy levels with some calisthenics. But the final part of the puzzle? With his meditation and exercises done, Booker would then power through a couple of cans of Red Bull before he was about to head to the ring.
Whatever Booker T did, it certainly worked, for few names can claim to have had the career, picked up the same trinkets, or wrestled so many fellow legends of different generations as Booker T.
