"Has anyone ever bowed down and kissed Patrick Swayze's feet?"

King Booker: "Thank you… thank you…. thank you all my loyal subjects. On this festive occasion, your king has prepared the following statements: First, I’d like to thank my dear Queen for standing by my side with grace and beauty. Because without her none of this would be possible. And to my home kingdom of Houston: [Zuschauer jubeln], I would like to say to all of you: IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME! [Zuschauer buhen]

What other Houstonian has accomplished what King Booker has? Did Houston’s Walter Cronkite ever beat John Cena and The Big Show in one night to become champion of champions? I don’t think so. Houston’s Roger Clemens never won the King Of The Ring. Hell, has anyone ever bowed down and kissed Houstonian Patrick Swayze’s feet? Please! He’s not royalty! And what about the two-time NBA Champions Houston Rockets? [Jubel] Well they ain’t… got… nuffin’… on… King… Booker! The five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time WCW Champion! In fact not one Houstonian – living or dead – can match the accolades of King Bookah! I have become the greatest icon in this city’s 169 year history!

And now… [wendet sich den Ordensmitgliedern zu]… the dignitaries will show how much this city is worth to King Booker. They will all bow down and kiss… my… RING! [Der erste tut wie ihm geheißen, der zweite weigert sich und wird von Booker mit Gewalt in den Ring gedrückt, der dritte tut es dann freiwillig, worauf Sharmell das bekannte ‚All Hail’ skandiert]

Wait… one moment, my Queen: We have, ladies and gentlemen, we have a great Houstonian right here in this arena tonight. Hall of Famer, right here: ZZ Top! [deutet auf den in der erste Reihe sitzenden Billy Gibbons und geht zu ihm] And you know, by being here at my ceremony shows me you respect King Booker. [Gibbons’ Körpersprache spricht dagegen] You will bow down… you will bow down and kiss… my… RING! [Gibbons lehnt ab] KISS IT, YOU SOME-B***H! [Gibbons lehnt weiter ab] I tell you what: I know your kind. You want to kiss my royal feet! [Gibbons stößt den Fuß weg]

You see, this is what I’m talkin’ about! [geht zum Ring zurück] This is the ungratefulness King Booker is talkin’ about! ALL OF YOU SHOULD BOW DOW TO YOUR KING…. [Kanes Pyro wird abgefeuert und die Big Red Machine macht sich in den Ring um die Zeremonie ungefragt zu beenden]"

- Bei einer SmackDown!-Show im Februar 2007 bekam Booker in einer Zeremonie vom "Order of Royal Houstonians" den Schlüssel zu seiner Heimatstadt Houston. Dies ist seine Dankesrede
