WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has hit out after a photo featuring him standing next to a convicted sex offender made the rounds online.

A photo online recently did the rounds featuring Booker T standing next to sex offender Chasyn Rance at Rance’s wrestling school. Rance has been registered with the Florida Sex Offender Registry for over a decade, dating back to 2014 over an incident that took place in 2011. Rance was convicted for Lewd and Lascivious Battery of a victim between the ages of 12-15.

Given Rance’s past, many wrestling fans do not appreciate the fact he still operates a wrestling school and the fact that some wrestling stars still appear at the school.

But Booker T is not happy with what he sees as a false association.

Booker T Says His Record Speaks For Itself

Booker T has taken to social media to hit back at what he sees as people trying to make a false connection between him and 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.

Rance was arrested on April 2 for violating his sex offender terms. He was booked after failing to report a change in vehicle ownership, failing to report an internet ID, and providing false registration info.

Booker T recently lashed out at AEW’s Swerve Strickland after Strickland questioned the former WCW Champion’s approach to a segment which featured Vince McMahon saying the n-word on WWE TV.
