Booker T was one of the best at his prime. Underrated in ring wrestler.
Loved Him since his Harlem Heat days
Facts! I HATE he had to get set up and leave for 4 years for them to realize that.
Wwe underated him. I never followed wcw but every now and then ill watch his matches and he was used correctly. I see why a lot of ppl were upset about the alliance
@@g718ny if he were used correctly, he would've never left in 07; hard as it is for me to say, it's probably better he didn't get used right.
His Kicks...
I'm glad Booker is getting his props and accolades and his flowers while he's alive he deserves it.🌺🌷⚘🍀
👑#KINGBOOKER🤴🏿
Yes!
💙
As every wrestler should it takes alot to make it
Side note: the Austin/Booker T grocery store match was legendary
😂😭. Yes it was
Yea that was the shit man 😂😂
Facts
I didnt like it.
@@benduell4997 noone cares that you didnt like it.
The Rock and Booker were two of my favourites growing up, two of the very best. Booker never really got the run he deserved, he was definitely worthy of being the WWE champion and the face of the company.
World champion in 2006 as king booker - great run
@@IamKirkoBangz WCW belt not the same as the companies main title. I know people like to argue this but its the truth. The WCW title wasnt the WWE title and didnt mean as much to the WWE. Booker shouldve been at the very top like the Rock was, he certainly deserved it.
Booker T saying “Dubya Ceee Dubya” sounded like Simon Miller.
Whatculture fans will understand
😂😂😂
Booker T and The Rock segments were funny. Booker T was very underrated. He was one of the few stars to transitional while to wwe after wcw folded. A lot of wcw stars didn’t adjust while to wwe.
It's not that they didn't adjust. They were buried by HHH and Vince. None of them got a decent push.
That's because he was the 5 time, 5 time, 5 time,, 5 time,, 5 time WCW champion
He actually became a better performer in WWE. like Mysterio he added talent on the mix with athleticism.
From Harlem Heat, to 5 time (🖐time!) Champion, to King Booker, to WWE Hall of Fame. Been watching him since I was a kid, much respect Book
I would be over the moon if we could get booker full time on commentary. I love listening to him.
Oh! HELL! YEAH!
Are you. Kidding me!
@@myaccount__7269 what do you have against booker commentating. Summerslam 17 was awesome with him. Id prefer him over graves
I love booker..but no. Just no.
@@elmstreetfan1633 lol I LOVE book. That's a line he used to say all the time on commentary. Also graves is hilarious, don't get why you don't like him. Renee sucks though
Damn I miss those KING BOOKER segments
I think the best I saw was actually in TNA. It was him and the Dudleys and it ended with him saying something about your dealing with royalty, with their pinkies in the air. It was not agressive, it was just plain excellent.
I wish Booker and Rock had a few more matches. Both of em definitely athletic big guys, draw crowds heavily and can sell moves and make the opponent look good!
& "personality"
Sabreeem Neely BIG FACTS!
Both guys are class acts. "Thanks for the house" doesn't exist anymore, Book 😕
What do you mean it does not exist?
@@lucasmichaels2204 Dont hear this generation of wrestlers say thank you for the house.
Booker v Rock Was Legendary !
The Book End vs The Rock Bottom.
rock bottom always looked good.
the end is at the bottom, the bottom is the end, now can u dig that suckkkaaaaaa
Classy wrestlers with no animosity.
I saw Booker T live at a pay per view when he was in The WCW. He was incredible, I never seen a wrestler his size with his speed. He was very impressive.
It was a great "dream match" back then. Loved it and Booker T deserves all the praise.
The statement at the end was pure gold! Book is the man for a reason, Jack!😂😂😂
Didn't see the post BUT RESPECT IS EARNED BOOKER T YOU HAVE EARNED IT..
Just go on Rock's IG page or Twitter; you'll find it.
My 2 favorites of all time. And Booker is all class!
Book the Man. U know got pull when u got the same finisher as one of the top guys and they dont tell u to change it
They're performed a little bit differently, but yeah they're basically the same move
Know what? I never looked at it that way. I was today years old when I had this realization. 💯
bookend vs rock bottom
Those two definitely needed a longer feud. Harlem Heat version of Booker T had undeniable mic skills too!
Then theyd have to tell the Rock to stop doing the move his damn self. Are you brothers too young to remember the original slam came from The Big Boss Man?? Rock altered the move too. Plus Book been around way b4 Rock why would u ask a vet to bow down to a kid?
"Look man, ain't nobody gonna be talkin' like I was in Saudi Arabia" That killed my sides.
classic Booker, buried Saudi in one line lol
Right?! Slipped that one in real quick!
@@rsk47reviews59-You didn't get it. 😔
Funniest thing I heard all week...lol
Booker T and The Rock, both gentlemen and both terrific entertainers and athletes.
The book end is different booker drops to his knees the rock goes all the way down
right, I was always fascinated by the similarities as a kid growing up
........... Pause
this comment suspect AF LMAO
Tim Covington 😂🤣😂
I loved this story especially how Heyman use to call Booker t "the book" and how the rock kept copying Booker t
Heyman used to call the spinneroonie "The Most Electrifying Move in Sports Entertainment" like The Rock does when referring to The People's Elbow.
It was the other way around dummy, wcw tried to use the Rock gimmick with Booker T and called him "the book" and he stole rocks finishing move and called it the book end do your research goof
@@ETHIOPIANASSASIN the video is about the wwe story line we all know wcw did that with Booker t with his 2000 title run the fact that you're pointing this out clearly shows you didn't understand the video
@@davidjefferies9601 Exactly
Booker T.. 100% Class!! Booker should have been the first African american wwe champion..
Raymark Jenkins, The Rock became that in 1998...
@@pierre-andreedouard7920That is true however he really doesn't claim to be the first african american champion. he choses his hawian ethnicity..he says he is the peoples champ black or white or what Ever...
@@raymarkjenkins3397 I respectfully have to say that that is incorrect. He actually addressed it in an Instagram post. Please check this out... thejasminebrand.com/2019/03/21/the-rock-sets-the-record-straight-about-his-race/
Pierre-Andre Edouard Fully African American
@@pierre-andreedouard7920 I read your article and seen the interview..the rock first Identity himself as an Hawaiian man..then an african American male the the peoples champ..
The rock and Booker t two of the g.o.a.t 's .
Rock and Booker never had enough matches. If I recall they're the only Black men to wrestle (each other) for a world title in WWE and to main event.
Now can you dig that? SUCKAAAA
I heard his theme song in my head when i read that lol
Booker T's kick moves were the best. They felt like it hurt on tv. Man l miss the Scissors Kick and the Spinaroonie.
PoooPanda The Texas hangtime looked pretty devastating lol
DDP said he was WCW's "People's Champ," Book. He's claimed it in podcast numerous times and had banter with Rocky about it as well.
He was for WCW and all of us who were fans of that company knew that. But going to WWF that title belonged to the Rock.
Booker T and Chris Benoit best of 5 was the greatest.
One of my all time favorite series/feud progams both men could go hard for a long long time and still tell a good story and that series was proof they took something they were obviously thrown into for placement on the card,and gave new life to an otherwise dying division
Best of 7 series fam ...7
Best of 7 in wcw was the shiddedittt!!!
TheR Chris Benoit had best of 3 nobody was left standing .
Yes my friend the cross face crippler
For guys in that 250-260 pound range, Book, Sting, and Old School Scotty Steiner were some STUD ATHLETES!! All three had great blends of power, brawling, speed, and aerial ability. They combined those three elements better than virtually anybody else in that size range!
Booker could of been better but HHH put a stop to that
For sure he was the main event in raw in 2002, but HHH buried the whole momentum at WrestleMania
@DEDOE G Pharr I wasn't saying I liked HHH lol, I'm just saying he was on his reign of terror on the Raw locker room for those next 5-6 years
Eric bishoff put a stop to that
You mean Vince...who was and still is in total control.
Speedyreedy1218 HHH could’ve easily told Vince no but he went with it because at that time that’s who he truly was..Hopefully Hunter has changed but that promo on Raw before Mania was one of the most racist segments I’ve ever seen
What was cool about the rock is he would put over anyone if that is what is required to tell a story and put on a good show
like Hurricane Helms 👍
hands down one of the greatest matches of the rocks career. awesome performers and gave a great match.
Two Black Champions on The Top 2 Wrestling Promotions Booker T (WCW Champion) & The Rock (WWF Champion)
The Rock wasn't marketed as a black anything! He was pushed as a Samoan man not a black man.
The Rock isn't black lol, but it was cool.
@@danwilliams4051 the rock is mixed he's blk an Samoan but wwe pushed him as a Samoan
@@blackbroly Correct!
@@kenrickeason He wasn't marketed as a Samoan when we he won his first WWF World Heavyweight Championship either. He only was marketed as High Chief Peter Maivia's grandson when he first debuted and to be exact he also was known as the son of "Soulman" Rocky Johnson (his Father who is Black BTW) by the time WrestleMania 13 came around. Either way it goes Rock has always considered and accepted both sides of his ethnicities Black & Samoan.
So refreshing to hear that 2 big names in a sport or entertainment didn't have heat. But, i do think WCW used some of the Rocks gimmick on Booker T, almost as if Booker was WCWs version of The Rock. He used a modified rock bottom, wore the flashy shirt/trousers/shoes combo with the sunglasses and chain.
The Rock and Booker T were one of the best Athletes in WWF/WWE
Book that's good wrestling back in day but now I don't know what's going on it was exciting you and the Rock cutting them promos and y'all match was dam good at SummerSlam remember when he brought the Minnie Booker T on raw 😂😂you and Stone Cold at the grocery store was the funniest sh--- ever 😂😂😂 Book I know you can dig that 👍🏽
If bookers prime came in a more enlightened world, he would’ve been at least a 10 time world champ
Booker T is super super super underrated. One of the best performers ever in the ring. Very original move set. Booker T vs Rock was legendary to me. Harlem heat was the best tag team ever.
Booker was always a very underrated worker. Great wrestler. Solid promos.
That was a great Summerslam I still have it on VHS after all these years
The Rock is so funny
Booker t forget that Chris Jericho was in wcw? 😹
But he was a bigger star in the E and made the jump before Book. Therefore Book felt he needed to prove himself to Y2J as well.
So was HHH m9.
@@Rover200Power Yup. And Austin.
Jericho was already in wwe before Booker went there.
Remember booker came over after wcw was owned by wwe Jericho came over during the war. Hence why after the purchase of wcw ost the wrestlers who came over after got screwed including sting
Booker T, 2 time Hall of Famer; The Rock, future Hall of Famer. Professional wrestling will never be this inspiring again. I've watched that match so many times, it's one reason why I pay for the WWE Network. Thanks gentlemen; two of the classiest all time greats!
Lol umm the rock went into the hall of fame in 2008 dude 😂😂
I love that he mentioned the bagwell match. I dont put the blame on Booker or Bagwell for that. I think if they organized it better, it could have worked out. It was the wrong location and the wrong spot on the card. WWE fans bought tickets for WWE guys. So they put them between a rock and a hard place. I honestly wish they would have kept going and actually made smackdown or raw into a wcw show.
I agree. It wasn't even a bad match. They were just put in a main event in front of an audience that was at best apathetic. Booker T didn't even enter the main event in WCW until after the audience and crowds had already vanished. They were in the main event in front of a crowd that had never seen them in a main event.
Maturity is what its all about you know regarding about coworkers it goes to show that you don't have to be best friends but no doubt you have to maintained professionalism and The Rock and Booker T showcased that and develop respect for each other and how can you not regarding these Great Legends that they both are they gave something for the fans to watch during the Invasion Storyline of Summerslam 2001. Without question a Incredible match featuring both People's Champs from there Respective Compainies that they Represent WWE and WCW
Booker t and beniot rivalry was legendary
Ain't nobody gone talk about me like I was in Saudi Arabia way to end the segment 😅🤣😂
Booker T was my favorite. The rock is the great one it's all fun respect to you guys. I would love to see you and the world would love to see Booker T in the MCU or the DCEU
One of my favorite wrestlers of all time as well as tag teams. #harlemheat4life
lmao "aint nobody gonna be talking about me like i was in Saudi Arabia "
Book can still go.
The Book End
Book could do it all in the ring.
Booker T vs Seth Rollins would be a great dream match
I have had beers with Booker-T and I have nothing but respect for the man, he is a top guy.
great insight book
Definitely feel like Booker is underrated for sure. Although he may not be a wrestling Mt Rushmore guy, he was definitely great.
It was one of the first wrestling matches I watched that I still remember to this day.
My friend had the second part of Summer Slam in a pirated CD. It had the second half of RVD vs Jeff Hardy in a ladder match, Undertaker and Kane vs DDP and Kanyon, maybe some other match that I can't remember, and The Rock vs Booker T! Good times.
I love Booker T. One of the best and humble.
Tell me the rock didn't just say that 😆 😆
I remember his Entrance back in SummersSlam 2001, Fans! are standing up watching him walk all the way to the ring! FYI his a heel on that time too.
I’m going to start watching his movies now ...lmao good one Booker T!
Booker was one of the best in wrestling as far as in ring skills and entertainment! His lumberjack segment with Golddust still kills me to this day
Shout out to my hometown Tacoma WA!! TacTown In the building!!
The end lol love booker
Why isn’t The Rock in the HOF?
because he didnt end his Career yet
He still does part time appearances and matches. When he decides to finally hang up boots he will just like The Undertaker.
Chano que Que it’s weird tho because Goldberg isn’t retired yet he’s in the hall
Same thing like Kurt Angle. Was still wrestling after the H.O.F.
@@eltoro_ttv Goldberg was not going to wrestle anymore after the HOF, but we all know money speaks all types of languages.
No, you don't have to watch his movies now Book. I loved the Rock as a wrestler (and a person) but his movie-acting is oversaturated and underwhelming. It's just the Rock portraying the Rock in all of his movies.
Booker t is one of the best pure wrestlers I have ever seen. Dude could do everything
you and the rock match is one of the greatest I ever saw both of you GOAT
Book Baby face title match Ls > heel wins
I wanna see Booker T on commentary at AEW! Let this man loose
There are even more wrestlers that should do this..I have been saying this for a while even for WWE..It will bring more pop.
The people's elbow vs the spinaroonie
the peoples eyebrow vs the dipsydoodle lol
Rock vs Booker T was the only dream match we got in that Invasion storyline.
Booker had it all man! Could do traditional mat wrestling(see his Benoit matches) could do big man style power wrestling, could even do insane high flying spots (his top rope flip leg drop move, think it was called the blockbuster) the guy could MOVE man!
Hulk Hogan! I'm coming for you nigga 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭😎😩
Two stand up brothers
Honestly it was a great match
My two favorite heavy weights.
big up booker t i really fuck with him and his character hes a cool guy trust me
Booker T is truly one of the best ever. 5 Time WCW champion. World Champion. TNA Legends Champion. Kind of sad this dude only had the Strap 7 times for real.
the GOAT
He Didn't say that .....Tell me he did not just say That ! 👊💥💯
Greatness!!!
Why did you say you forgot about you and the rock segments who in blue hell are you 😂😂😂
You know what stick out as far as bookaman promo skill is when Steph just got her breast done he did that promo with Steph rhyno rock and y2j was the funniest shit ever. I love Booker when he Austen kept fighting outside the ring and their facial expressions was the craziest shit ever. He other great stuff its amazing. I love Mr. T tag team partnership with Goldie as he called golddust
Being black is awesome 👌😁
B renegadde. 😞
King Booker gimmick was his peak.
2 Legends and it's funny Booker T & the rock were wearing the same $500 shirts and pants with glasses both had their versions of their finishers both had a pretty good Feud in the WWE
Love to Booker t
Booker wasn't treated properly when he came over like most of the WCW talent. They built him up against the Rock but he lost every match and of course the who are you line was so disrespectful. Then the Triple H match where the build up was racist and then the match ends with a Pedigree where both guys were down for 10 seconds or more and Triple still pins Booker with no rematch. Then he gets beat up by Stone Cold in the supermarket like he was nothing. After that he was in much smaller programs with mid card talent. He was a real talent and star that was abused from power.
Booker t took rocks whole swag
Loved King Booker
Hunter's racist booking garbage will NEVER ruin his legacy.
Booker T..WE COMING YOU!! NIGGAA
That's cool as hell 👊👊👑
Ten Time.....Ten Time......Ten Time
Every wrestler Booker T named were in WCW before joining WWE
Will rock was bullied in the locker room by triple h in his crew and so I’m glad rock was nice to have open arms.
