10 Kayfabe-breaking moments from WWE history

#3 Booker T uses a forbidden word on live television

Booker T's flub was something he definitely couldn't dig, sucka.

These days, many pro wrestling interviews and promos are heavily scripted. The talent, the writers, and sometimes Vince McMahon himself all congregate together and work on the material to make sure it hits all of the apropos points and remains fit for PG-rated television.

However, in the old days, that's not how it was done. Often, wrestlers were given very little instruction about what to specifically say during their interviews. People like Mean Gene were meant to prompt them on certain points, but they were by and large left to their own devices as to how to construct their dialogue. Most wrestlers were fond of 'winging it' and doing their speeches on the fly, relying on passion and experience to get the message across.

Unfortunately, this method led to Booker T--yes, that Hall of Fame Booker T--to getting a little bit too worked up during his interview, and dropping a word that should never be heard on PG-rated television.

If you look closely at the video velow, Booker realizes his error and tries to look tough as Sherri consoles him.
