On the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T responded to Swerve Strickland, who appeared on Vlad TV.
Booker said in his response, “I had an offer to be on Vlad TV before as well and I turned it down. They called me back and they offered me money to go on Vlad TV and I turned it down because I was not going to go on Vlad TV and be exploited. I wasn’t going to go on Vlad TV and have him make me look like a fool in front of the world, I was not going to do that. I wasn’t going to go on Vlad TV and say anything negative towards any black man that’s ever been in this business because I know how hard it is for all of us."
Vlad TV responded by showing a DM exchange with Booker from 2020, during which Booker agreed to do an interview. Vlad said he ran late, which is why the interview never happened.
