During his appearance on WWE’s “The Story Of”, Booker T discussed the origins of the Spinaroonie and how it changed the perception that the fans had of him. Here’s what he had to say:
The Spinaroonie came from my days as a dancer. I was a breakdancer, pop locking days, and back in the days when they had the beat box, and the cardboard box. I never played sports or anything like that, and the Spinaroonie was just something that was just a part of the dance. I remember the first time that I did it in a wrestling ring, I was wrestling in Dallas, Texas. It was my debut there, my brother and I were wrestling a couple of guys, and they didn’t like us too much in Dallas.
I remember walking into that arena, with that 100 people, and doing that Spinaroonie, and people being one way and being changed, from that moment, that 100 people turned into 3,000 people a week.
