WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T recently took to his podcast, “The Hall Of Fame,” to discuss several professional wrestling topics.

Here are the highlights:

Why he wouldn’t take backdrops after 30:

That was just me because I always had back problems, I always had lower back problems, my back could like spasm out just like that for no reason, and it would stay like that for like three days to where I was crooked.

My legs was on one side and my upper body would be on the other side, so I would be walking around literally like sideways … So, after my late 20s, once I got to 30 I said ‘backdrops is something I think I need to throw out just because of safety purposes for the future.’

Mick Foley not being a fan of German suplexes:

Everybody can’t do the German … They’ve got to be able to pop their hips, they’ve got to be able to get the guy over properly and rotate. A lot of guys just want to throw you over, and that’s just not the way it works as far as from a safety perspective.

If I am in the ring with a guy like Scott Steiner, I feel comfortable, because I know Scotty is going to break down, he’s going to pop his hips, he’s going to rotate, and he’s going to get me over … You didn’t see Steiner doing a lot of those kind of suplexes … because, it’s not that safe and it only takes one time, just like we saw with Big E for it to end in perhaps tragedy, or career ending.
