Booker T Recalls Drinking With Undertaker The Night Before Survivor Series, Ric Flair Tapping Out
Booker T was among the many who took part in the Undertaker’s farewell on Sunday at Survivor Series. While the on-camera segment didn’t last long for the legends who appeared, the night before the show got a little bit wild as Undertaker treated the boys.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker detailed what happened when the boys met up the night before Survivor Series.
“As soon as I get off the elevator, I saw Ric Flair walking by. Ric goes, ‘Hey Book! Let’s go to the bar!’ I’m like, ‘I’m going to take a COVID test, man.’ ‘Alright, I’m going to the bar. Double Jack and Coke, right? I got it for you. I’ll meet you at the bar.’ I went and got the COVID test, ran into JBL, Rikishi and a couple of the boys. Went to the bar to have a drink with Ric, just a drink then get my food and watch UFC. One double Jack, 7:30 rolls around, three double Jacks in. 8:30 rolls around, five double Jacks in. 9:00 rolls around and I said, ‘I’m tapped.’ Ric was pretty much down too. Somebody comes down and says, ‘We can’t leave, Taker is coming right now.’ Taker came and first thing he did was order a round of shots of Jack Daniels for everybody and he told the bartender to keep them coming. It’s 10:00, I’m three shots of Jack in along with the five double Jacks. The room is spinning. I wanted to throw up. Ric finally tapped out. It was the worst night, but the best night with the boys,” he said.
Booker said he got back to his room that night and couldn’t eat the food he had ordered because of how he was feeling.
After appearing at Survivor Series on Sunday, everyone was ready for round two, but Booker pulled a bait and switch.
“The following night, all the boys at the bar the previous night were in the farewell. So, we were at the end of the night and didn’t get back to the hotel until 11. Ric was like, ‘I’ll meet you at the bar brother.’ I went from the bottom floor to the top and straight to my room,” he said.
Booker said he had an early flight the next morning and asked the Wrestling Gods to forgive him for skipping out on a night of drinking with everyone.
