He actually did say this during a promo leading up to their Wrestlemania match and the crowd went nuts. Unfortunately HHH’s reign of terror squashed Booker’s push.

"Hulk Hogan, we're coming for you ......." actually works really well with the song.

So glad booker was one of those old school guys I actually got to see wrestle live like Taker, Angle, Mark Henry, Mysterio, Benoit, Finlay, Matt Hardy & Gregory helms

I still love the OG tag team version of this song with Harlem heat. A big build up with some ominous laughter and then the music hits. It was something else.

To be honest all of Booker T’s Vernacular comes from the 70’s Jesus the guy break dances…He talks like a undercover cop on a walker Texas ranger show

I love Booker's laugh.

Can you dig it suckaaa is iconic 🔥

Booker looking sharp for his day and age. Good on you, sir.

Booker T was one of my favorites back in the day. Lots of fun times watching his matches during the Harlem Heat days, his WCW champ days, then getting KotR and champs in WWE. The fight in the grocery store with SCSA was particularly memorable, too.

Man booker is the next level of charisma + fun at one moment

The fact that I can remember Alot of this I love hearing them later look back I miss it

Respect to a living wrestling legend brooker t

Booker t seems like such a good dude

One of the best themes. Without lyrics!

booker t is so down to earth its awesome. of all the wwe/wwc guys, he's the 1 I'd love to meet

Man I grew up on Booker and Harlem Heat at WCW! Loved him forever and I used to try his spin

Booker T had one of the greatest entrances ever

Hearing this brings me back 😢

Thanks for the good memories Booker

Rap Sheet is one of the greatest themes of all time. Booker is a legend and his music matches him completely.

Booker T deserved so much more. He was 100% more over than any wrestler in the business right now.

The one thing WWE got right with Booker T 😏😄. That intro line in WCW felt like an attempt to be like The Rock to me. He already had a catch phrase can you dig it Sucka but after he became champ they ADDED a catch phrase and attached it to his theme smh. When in actuality he didn't use any catch phrase to lead into his music for years. At least WWE used the better phrase. Can you dig it Sucka is way more catchy and flowed better into the music.

"can you dig it sucka" was such an iconic line from american media in the 70's and 80's, my personal favourite usage of a variant of the phrase is in the warriors movie and game which is set in that time period.

One of the best to ever do it.

One of the Greatest

Booker T has always been my favorite wrestler in history

Booker T is still my favourite wrestler

Booker is one of my favorites of all time

I love how he lets his band shine at the end.

I am so glad I grew up with the "Can you dig it? Sucka" version of Booker's theme song

Rip to Richard Roundtree

He was my first favorite wrestler, as a Black kid in the 90's I looked up to him. He's definitely a Wrestling Legend!

Something about CVV finishing Books sentence when he said “shut your mouth” got me dying lmaoo

Everyone who watched Wcw loved booker, had the whole building and us at home raising the roof!

Any interview I see of his he comes off as a really chill guy.

Booker and Stone Colds promos were top notch

Booker keeps that blunt handy on em! hahaha

Book's commentary is hilarious at times😂

You can hear booker's music actually sampled from MJ's song "who is it?" at the 3:40 mark in that song.

Booker T is just a cool dude all the way 👍

Booker vs the rock was a great fued on smackdown that is forgotten in time

1991 in Florida Wrestling Gi Bro and Stevie Ray was the first time I saw Harlem Heat together

He also said he took that "Can you dig it" from The Warriors movie when the character Cyrus said it

Booker T 😎

I remember when his theme song had NO voice over at the beginning lol

Barely aged. Aged like fine wine

Harlem Heat - fire times

I love the Harlem Heat's version of it

I’m old enough to remember being disappointed by this change

Bro got old 😢

My reaction was the same as Scott Steiner's seeing I didn't watch til late 2007

I didn't forget, I didn't know.

I just met him at my grocery store. I had to do a double take i pulled around cause he was walking to his car. I stopped and before i could finish my sentence "Are you Booker....." He said ya im booker t. He was the nicest guy and i got a picture with him. So cool
