As noted before, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently responded to comments made by Swerve Strickland in a recent interview with VladTV about his belief black wrestlers are not treated fairly in WWE and Vince McMahon using the N-word in front of Booker T on WWE television. During his response, Booker T claimed that Strickland was being used by VladTV and accused VladTV of exploting Strickland just to pit two black men against each other. Booker T also claimed that he had turned down a past interview with VladTV for the same reason.

DJ Vlad recently responded on Twitter stating that Booker T lied about him turning down an interview. In his response, DJ Vlad also posted DM conversations between the two from 2020 claiming that Booker T had agreed to do the interview and was at the studio on the day of the scheduled interview. Vlad claimed that the reason why the interview never took place was due to him running late that day and was not able to get the interview done as scheduled.

Vlad also accused Booker T of having ties with controversial indies wrestler and registered child sex offender Chasyn Rance.

The photo in question was revealed to be from a training session held at Rance’s school last month that Booker T had attended.

Booker T recently responded back on Twitter to Vlad’s claims of him having ties with Rance and explained his reason why he was photographed with Rance.

“I’ve been a guest trainer at hundreds of wrestling schools over the years, helping to teach and mentor up-and-coming talent. I don’t conduct background checks on every trainer or individual I’ve crossed paths with or taken photos with along the way.

This feels like a clear attempt to falsely associate me with something I have 100% nothing to do with and absolutely no knowledge of!

Any student who’s trained with me can vouch for the kind of coach, mentor, and person I am. My record speaks for itself.”

In a follow-up tweet, Booker T also posted DM conversations with Vlad from 2020 as his proof that he was the one who had turned down the interview and claimed he had been ignoring Vlad since September of 2020 before formally turning down the interview in January of 2021.

In another twist to the story, people online discovered that Booker T and his Reality of Wrestling school had recently deleted tweets that had disavowed Rance and his Team Vision Dojo.
