Booker was welcomed onto Busted Open by Bully Ray and Mark Henry, where he spoke about a wide range of topics.
During it, the WWE Hall of Famer shared that he needs knee surgery after tearing his PLC decades ago.
“You know what? I gotta have something done to my right knee. I tore my PCL, my debut in the Global Wrestling Federation and I never got it fixed and it’s come back to haunt me and my golf game has been struggling this last year.
The thing with my knee, I’m still putting it off. I put the clubs down. I’m still putting this thing off as long as I possibly can. I hate having surgeries. I know I’ma be laid up. My body’s gonna suffer, I’m gonna get old quick. So I’m like, man, screw it. I’ma just ride it as long as I possibly can. I’m serious (he laughed).
You’re exactly right (that wrestlers never get out of that frame of mind). Tape it up, I’m good. I swear man, sometimes it hurts so bad and then sometimes, it don’t hurt at all. It’s one of those type of injuries. So I’m like, I’ma just ride it until the wheels fall off.”
