"What is 2 + 2? Do you know, Booker? Oh yeah I know the answer to that: Thomas Jefferson sucka!" Following a great promo by Chris Jericho against the Alliance trio of Stephanie McMahon, Booker T and Rhyno there was an appearance from The Rock. The Chicago crowd was deafening. Rock was set to face Booker T at SummerSlam 2001, so he made fun of him by saying he was the oldest 27 year old senior there ever was. Then he started telling a story about a short yellow bus pulling up in front of Booker's house. The "Thomas Jefferson sucka" line was very famous. It really got the crowd going. Rock ripped on Booker's intelligence and even took a shot at Shane McMahon: "Booker T hair done by Whoopi; Shane McMahon still a pu**y." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZU1r9xuppc Jericho pointed out that with Stephanie and Rhyno they were dealing with "The Gore and the whore" in the ring. Rock said he understood that it was a rhyming contest: "Booker T and Shane, the punk ass sucka and the silver spoon mutherf**ka." Rock even took a shot at Stephanie McMahon's chest as well, which was a popular topic in those days. It was a combination of the right kind of opponents, Jericho's presence and a ridiculously hot crowd that made this segment feel special.
