On a recent episode of The Steve Austin Show (
Wrestling Inc) Steve Austin and Booker T spoke about their time working together and the time Booker injured Austin and was asked to carry his bags…
Booker on Breaking Austin’s Hand: “I came to the ring, jumped over the barrier, dropped Steve Austin on a table. Boom! Big debut, Booker T is in.” Booker recalled, “I leave the arena that night and I don’t remember why we didn’t talk. I don’t remember why, but I do know that I left the arena. What happened? Bruce Prichard called me. I’m on my way to the next town. Bruce Prichard said, ‘hey man, what was going on?’ I said, ‘it was a great night tonight!’ Do you know what I mean? I’m excited! I’m in WWE.
He goes, ‘no, you didn’t hear what happened?’ I said ‘no, what are you talking about?’ He goes, ‘well, you broke Steve’s hand.’ I go, ‘I broke Steve’s hand?’ and he goes, ‘yeah, and you’ve got to fix it!’ But I go, ‘who? Fix what? What are you talking about?’ He goes, ‘man, you’ve got to fix this.’ And I go, ‘you’ve got to give me Steve’s [telephone] number and let me call him up.’ This is my debut in WWE. I said, ‘let me call Steve and let me apologize for breaking this man’s hand because that wasn’t my intention!’ Do you know what I mean? I do remember seeing [Austin] on the announce table and bouncing off. [Laughs] I remember that, but he goes, ‘no, you need to meet Steve in his hotel room tomorrow, man, and you need to pack his bags at the hotel because, man, you need to fix this.’ I tell Bruce Prichard on the phone, I said, ‘hold up. I [am not] packing [any] goddamn bags.’ [Laughs] I’ll call him! Do you know what I mean?”
