While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer commented on the death of Hulk Hogan. At one point, Booker T revealed what Hogan did for him while they were working in WCW…
“I just want people to know a little bit of a story about Hulk Hogan. And I don’t know if he had—I never knew if he had an ulterior motive or an agenda or anything when it comes to this little story, this little nugget.
My brother and I, in WCW, at one point they were wondering, ‘Man, what tag team should we go with?’ You know what I mean? They were talking about these guys, they were talking about those guys, they had other guys in mind—but Harlem Heat’s name was not mentioned in that group, pretty much.
We got with Sherri Martel, and Hulk Hogan went to the company and he said: ‘Look, guys. I don’t know why you’re looking for your tag team when they’re right here in front of you—the Harlem Heat. These are your guys. These are the guys to go with.’
And boom—my brother and I, we got the rocket put on us from that point on. And we became the 10-time WCW Tag Team Champions, just from the word that Hulk put in.”
