Booker T

[GtehMVP]

I think he just came in the WWE at a bad time. I mean the big Attitude Era guys were already established so there was no replacing them. Which is why he got fed to guys like The Rock. When I look back at it the major WCW guys never got a lot of shine in the WWE until the bigger Attitude Era guys left and the Ruthless Aggression Era started. During that era guys like Booker, Benoit, Guerrero and Mysterio became World Champions.

When looking back on Booker's career I can only think of 2 big blemishes: His TNA run and that Wrestlemania where he should have gone over Triple H.

I used to work in group homes and my overnights are where I watched WCW replays, Book and Sting were my favs. Both were the guys I really wanted to cross over.

I loved Booker's early WWE run with Goldust and his feud with Austin. He came into a stacked card and got humbled, especially with Rock, but I knew he'd rise up.

He had a decorated career in WWE, and King Booker was awesome, but it should have been greater. Was he ever champ as a face? I didn't watch TNA regularly, but that loss to Triple H was one of the worst outcomes they've ever come up with, especially considering Hunter's racist promo. It would have been fine, so long as Booker went over, the fucking audacity of Vince and Triple H lol. It would catapulted him among the goats.

He's quite possibly the worst tv commentator ever.

He really is pretty bad. He is like a crazy uncle that has a list of maybe a dozen hype platitudes and weird man noises that work 90% of the stuff you see on TV.

This would be OK if he was just a guy they used on a few PLE matches here and there, but it wears pretty thin week after week on NXT.

Booker T never held the World Title as a face from what I remember in the WWE. He did in WCW as a face since I think the top heels at the end of WCW were Steiner and Jarrett. On a side note, I think the thing that hurt the WWE a lot in the late 2000's and early 2010's was that the WWE seemed to basically have Cena and Triple H hold the World Titles far too long and too often.

- The booking sucked. We already knew Kane, Orton and Jericho woulod put people over or some-times win. ON the other hand, Cena never lost!
