- ‘Pawn Stars’ boss Rick Harrison calls WWE star Booker T to verify pair of boots that belonged to him (marketrealist.com)
Can you dig it, SUCKA!? “Pawn Stars” boss Rick Harrison recently took a trip to verify some royal kicks, and let’s just say, it was a slam dunk!
It all started when Chumlee, Harrison’s right-hand man, snagged a pair of Booker T’s wrestling boots from a seller claiming he’d bought them at a charity auction. Chumlee, despite being a little shaky about the lack of paperwork (you know how the Boss gets!), couldn’t resist dropping a “Can you dig it?” and snatching up the boots for $3,000.
Harrison, ever the shrewd businessman, decided to go the extra mile. Knowing Booker T was in Houston, he and Chumlee headed down to the wrestling legend’s school for an in-person authentication.
And what did the King of the Ring have to say? Those boots were the real deal, baby!
Booker T reminisced about the golden getup the boots were a part of, a true royal ensemble from his King Booker days. He even confirmed they’d been donated to a Hurricane Harvey charity auction, clearing up the seller’s story.
Harrison, impressed with Chumlee’s find (for once!), admitted it was a good buy. The visit wasn’t all business though.
Booker T even showed Chumlee a few moves, proving that even pawnbrokers can learn a thing or two about throwing down in the ring. Talk about a royal experience!
