Stevie Ray On Hulk Hogan’s Reaction To Booker T’s Infamous Promo

Stevie Ray discusses his career and racism in wrestling in an interview with the Shining Wizards Podcast. Highlights are as follows:

On reuniting Harlem Heat at Pro Wrestling Syndicate this Friday:

“I’m not very excited… I had it good for the last few years, kicking back and knocking down a few. But when I’m committed to something, I’m committed to it. But in all actuality, it’s good man. It’s a good feeling and I’ve been getting the juices again for the last couple years, and in all actuality, I am excited, to be honest. It’s been a long time coming.”

On Booker T’s & Hulk Hogan’s reaction to the infamous Spring Stampede promo:

“Well, It really bothered my brother. It really bothered him, whereas all the guys were ribbing him and were like, “What’s up n***a?” Randy Savage & whoever… They all got a big, big kick out of it. It was the pop of the night. So the next day, we go to do Nitro after the Pay-Per-View that Sunday and I remember I was sitting at a table, you know- we were in catering- I’m sitting at the table and Hogan walks in. So me and Hogan would always talk about cars and motorcycles, because he’s into cars much like myself. I think he was getting some food when Randy Savage came in and was like, “Hey, Hulk, what’s going on man? You know Booker T called you an n***a” Then Hogan was like “That’s OK man, at least I’m a good n***a.” The whole catering area popped. I mean everybody in the catering room just popped. And I think that’s when some of the pressure kind of came off my brother. That’s a true story, I’ve never told it before… After Hogan did that, it pretty much died that day.”
