"Not since the Attitude Era..." - Booker T on iconic moment at Money in the Bank 2021
At this past weekend's Money in the Bank pay-per-view, John Cena made a return to WWE, to a loud ovation from the crowd. Booker T, who was in the arena, stated that he hadn't seen such a "pop" since the Attitude Era.
On his recent Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T spoke about John Cena's return at Money in the Bank and how pumped the crowd was to see the 16-time world champion.
"John Cena made his return. Biggest pop in the building. People can say what they want to say about John Cena, people say, 'Cena sucks' but I tell you, you're not going to... you never know what you miss until it's gone. John Cena come(s) back, people in Texas obviously miss the hell out of John Cena because, I tell you, the roof was actually hovering at certain times. The cameras were shaking and I haven't seen that in quite some time, not since the Attitude Era since I've seen the building shake. So, people can say what they want to say about John Cena," said Booker T
Booker T also stated that he doesn't understand why fans dislike Cena as stars like Cena "still sell" despite being from a previous era in pro wrestling.
