You know you're a booker t fan when you watch Booker T go from High Top fade to Twists to Dread locks.
NJboi Eddy G lol indeed!!
U know u a fan if you know about the ebony experience
Haha🔥
NJboi Eddy G 20 years ago I was watching booker T book end fools
Yes indeedy
Dang booker was right to stay away. He kept his value and was able to carry himself
The problem nobody wants to admit to is how badly botched nWo was in WCW. They never had a long term plan for it. There was no conclusion to WCW v nWo. Instead fans got nWo infighting, red v black. Ideally looking back nWo should have lost to WCW cleanly, clearly and in doing so put over a fresh class of workers THEN have the red v black breakdown. Eventually you end up with interesting storylines and the wrestlers with the talent and experience to headline while the old guard slowly fades away.
Just an opinion but guys like Benoit, Booker T, DDP, Rey, Eddie, Jericho, Wrath, Kanyon, Raven, Kidman, Chavo, Ultimo Dragon, Scotty Riggs, Disco, Alex Wright, Malenko, La Parka Bagwell, Giant Paul White would have been better equipped to lead WCW into a competitive and profitable 2000's. Hall, Nash, Hogan, Savage, Flair, Sting, Henning and Lex all should have been on legacy contracts post nWo and used very sparingly to spike ratings.
you forgot to mention goldberg
Booker t one of my favorite wrestlers ever
Booker t still in great shape
Booker t one of my favorite wrestlers of all time
Harlem Heat is hugely underrated.
My GOAT. I remember getting a whooping after hitting my bro with the book end and doing the spinnaroonie all while wearing my mom good curly wig on.
Black Jedi 😂 you need help
@@Megatronice7 that's what my mom said. She put me in theater after that. It was a fail so I went back to boxing.
I was kinda upset when shawn sweet chin Booker out the N.W.O 😑
It's been a while for me. Was he kicked from NWO or DX? Because Michaels was back with DX at that point wasn't he? I just remember I hated it, and hated that Book never got even.
Booker never wanted to join he was happy to be out
Booker T was the Black Rock for a minute. We joked....If ya SEEEEEE...... What BOOKER T SEE!!! That was his catch phrase as we mimicked the Rock. Lol. Huhhh the good ole days!
Don't forget The Book End
Book and Gold Dust was the best team. Such a great dynamic between the two.
Loved every minute
@@RealityOfWrestling Good to hear. Keep up the good work sir.
It would be cool to get taker on the show too
i liked when book had his high top fade lol. he is a great person, along with sting. i have lots of respect for both of them. book keeps it real and always has.
I don't care what Booker say.. in the WWE they put him in the NWo just to embarrass him like always. If you look at Booker t's career in the WWE they humiliated him bad
Booker T's mind for the business was all-time great. Better strategist than performer and that's saying a lot
They need to get King Book some A/C in that joint
Great insight! The problem with the nWo is simple. They couldn't decide is they were a faction or a complete wrestling organization. I've heard Bischoff say it was meant to become a separate organization but if that's the case why didn't they wrestle each other? Lol....🤔😏. Once they had the split from The Wolfpac I guess that was closer to what Bischoff says and that's probably when Nash approached Booker T. Instead they ended up with a guy like Luger who didn't fit at all. In the end they were truly a faction who ran as a pack vs WCW so that's where having 20 guys becomes overkill and stale. The last straw was reforming into nWo Elite, and that damn fingerpoke of doom.
respect
NWO started out as such a great angle when it was just the original 3 but as soon as it started more and more memebers it lost its magic and like Booker said when 75% of the roster is coming out to the same music it was time to give it up
The NWo should never had expanded to the size it did....there the DX thing could have been emulated. The core group of NWo was beyond dope af and the villainy was on point especially when Hollywood Hulk switched up and joined
The NWO was cool in the beginning it became a water down product booker said everyone came out to the same music then they split red and black and white and black
You know the NwO loses its touch when X-pac joins
Harlem Heat GOAT tag team
I remember one time Booker was with the black and white and said he was not feeling the entrance music saying something like im not down with this type of music. ruclips.net/video/uSgadil3gSs/видео.html
Heavy on the super kicked out and racist
Turning Hogan heel was an absolute out of the box idea. It was a huge chance that paid off BIG! The only mistake in the NWO storyline was bringing SO MANY DAMNED PEOPLE INTO IT.
@Meta Man true. The only difference being that DX didn't water the concept down with 1000 members. DX also was more light & comical where the NWO was more about brute force.
I don't know how true it is, but around the time of the NWO there was a ground swelling about a one world government that was given the title of "The New World Order". I had heard that Ted Turner was a big supporter of the one world government concept. I always thought that if that was true, what better way to indoctrinate millions of people to the New World Order idea than to have that NWO wrestling faction in their homes every week. You take the biggest star on the planet in Hulk Hogan & have him saying "New World Order" weekly...
Again, I don't know if that was all true or not but if you were looking to push a real world political agenda & you KNOW you have millions of eyes staring at their TV every Monday night...
PREACH AND KEEP PREACHING.
Not even the biggest problem biggest problem was it lasted too long and WCW never really got to beat the nwo
Backstage politics mess up the NWO . Nash and Hoang fighting over power.
That was and is my main and only problem with the NWO
you gotta say King Booker with the full english accent
Booker didnt need the nwo. He was legit on his own
FACTS. More than
NWO-OWN. 0.o
"We need some color bro." - Kevin Nash. Lol. Well, they had Virgil eventually, Dennis Rodman, and Stevie Ray.
Booker T was one of the best pro wrestlers of all time but i wonder that after booker was super kick out of the nwo he should have fued with hbk to get revenge he should get hbk on the show
he never did go after HBK and the nwo after that did he? missed opportunity
That's because HBK became the Top Face in the WWE right after the nWo was disbanded when Triple H had turned on him. Booker T was a face at the time too so it didn't make any sense for them to feud.
@@fmthebaron HBK top face? What year? When NWO was in WWF? HBK wasn't "top" face at that time, he was in the mid 90s though
That whole angle was weird and left a sour taste in my mouth, Booker's treatment in particular.
@jules Mateo
Same for me. DX kept getting over on Book and he never got payback. Especially after that nappy headed comment HHH made.
I loved Stevie Ray in the nWo. He would complain when other members were not wearing their nWo tee shirts. But when asked why he wasn't wearing his ... he responded with, "What? This a $500 shirt"
One week? I thought Booker was in the nwo for atleast a month? or am I wrong?
I thought it was 2 weeks
@@brandonjacobs2373 felt like two days
It was insignificant either way. Booker was right to fly solo
He's talking about WCW days, but when it was bought out in WWE he was in it for a week or smt.
He was
Harlem hangover, the scissor kick, the spinarooni, the the spinning roundhouse kick, from a tall guy with the amount of technique and extension... made me a true fan. You are one of the best I wish you had become undisputed champ
Booker T is one of the Few Class Acts that ever laced em up in the Wrestling Biz!!!
He could play a great Sho Nuff in a The Last Dragon remake.
True but wasn't Sho Nuff taller
GOD’DAMNNNNNNNN HaHaHa WTF
He would be perfect
#facts
He would kill it!!!
Booker T reppin dat Texaz mane we rootin" fa u niggggggaaaaaaa"!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Booker T's axe kicks and spinning heel kicks were awesome!!
He forgot to mention Booker T and Golddust. I wonder if he forgot or didn’t like the team.
I think it was just the train of thought he was going on. He mainly naming exceptions from WCW
There's no way! He always looked like he was having fun in those goldust segments
Nwo was better when it was just Hogan knash hall giant and syxxx. They should of just left it at that
Agree
I will always have love and respect for booker. hes so honest and real
NWO oversaturated WCW it was 5 wrestlers that wasn't with them
Greg Gagne is allegedly the person credited for coming up w/ the nWo.
The story Kevin Nash told is back when wCw was at Center Stage in ATL, Kevin Nash was still Master Blaster, & Gagne walked by him & whispered "New World Order" years before it happened & before The Kliq
Looooool facts😂literally the whole roster was NWO!
Booker t shouldve joined the wolf pac they couldve used him to bolster their ranks against nwo hollywood and booker vs stevie ray wouldve been awesome with the two factions setting up the rivalry
Nile Harding good point!! I didn’t even consider that. Looking back Wcw Truly didn’t take advantage of many opportunities they had to build better feuds
So glad he didn't join the nwo. It got too watered down
I LOVED the NWO frfr boi that was the good days there
I think Booker was in the nwo for a week, maybe two before Shawn superkicked his head off
I posted that comment 30 seconds before Booker said it lol
I'm glad he didn't join. It would have ruined his career in being a top guy down the line imo.
Why he sound like Cedric the entertainer
Yooo that’s funny AF yeah he do
Then WWE put Booker in the NWO
He hit the nail on the head. I remember watching match after match where that NWO music would come on for too many wrestlers. They ran it into the ground.
Book got some interesting stories.
Booker made the right decision
KAAAAANGGG BOOKAAAHHHH
Yeah...Booker said it right back then:
Book!!...Book!!! BOOK!!!
I'M JUST A BOOKER T!(BOOKER TEEEE)/I'M NOT YO SUCKA!!!(SUCKAAAA)
😂😂😂😂
NWO is my favorite time in wrestling! Haven't watch it really since. That was a crazy moment in wrestling. 90 straight weeks beating the WWE said alot. Getting too big messed it up.
Im 30 now. Havnt watched since i was like 10 or 11 but Booker was one of my favorites who i can remember vividly. Especially his spins lol
The funniest segment ever with Booker T when he told Kevin Nash that he couldn’t get down with the NWO theme lol.
Search that vid up ASAP lol. “Booker T doesn’t like NWO music”
the 2002 nwo was a flop. hogan was pulled out way too quickly, and when Scott hall got fired, the nwo pretty much ended there. the Kevin Nash nwo run was pretty much a slow painful death up until his quad injury.
I agree, the crowd reaction shouldn't have mattered. Should have kept Hogan Heel, or at the very least bring in Steiner right away.
Vince was never going let nobody from WCW ratings war succeed. That why WWE version died. Plus Austin refuse to job against Hall. WWE wrestlers never job to WCW guys.
It’s too bad Vince’s ego wouldn’t allow nWo to thrive in WWE. nWo is the greatest group ever created, and it almost killed WWE, so it must’ve been cathartic for Vince to get the last laugh by buying WCW and squashing nWo. It was personal, not business.
@ULTRA KWON...That's what Vince does. If some other company gets a good idea, Vince gets the guys over & buries it. NWO, Broken Matt Hardy, now the Bullet Club. If Vince doesn't come up with it...he tries to kill it.
I don't think that's how it went down. Hogan got red hot after his match with the Rock at Mania. So wwe truck the iron while it was hot. Scott hall demons followed him in wwe so they wasn't having it. So the thrill was gone without the core 3. They tried to add Xpac, Booker, Shawn and Big Show to the fold. The end up being one of the worst renditions ever. The Nwo hype was done by that time.
@@bklynpsycho yeah can't forget Nash was catching injuries left and right.
When NWO came to WWE with in a few months Kevin Nash was injured, Scott Hall was having discipline issues, and Hulkamania was starting to run wild again.
I gotta go with Degeneration X as the best group
ALL HAIL KING 👑 BOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👑
Booker T was the best. I appreciate him being a great athletic Big man. He seems very humble too.
Thanks bro
I remember watching them put Book in the 2002 nWo and thinking "damn WWF knows how to screw up anything they didn't create!" That group looked so stupid together in my opinion. Although I didn't appreciate the unceremonious KICKING out of the group (especially since he had no retribution v Shawn but that's WWF keeping Booker down once again during the early days smh 😒), I was happy to see him out of the group. It's pretty obvious Booker isn't a "faction guy" especially not in his prime at that time. He was awesome in the MEM in TNA but that worked for ALL of those guys even Sting as a bunch of legendary veterans.
The only thing that angle did for book was give him a great face turn they didn't take advantage of
@@The810kid Exactly! I was watching, waiting for him to feud with them and ended up like "man, these people don't REALLY respect Booker".
Booker T mentioned a lot of guys he tagged with in the WWE but forgot to mention the most iconic. He forgot Goldust. How could he forget about Bookdust? Booker T and Goldust at the Movies was hilarious 😂
Booker T remind me of my favorite uncles
I wanted to be nwo before I turned Crip. Lolz 😂 morning I
Intelligent decision to keep himself a solo act
Booker T. was amazing he was a heavyweight who could fly. Harlem hangover. the match with sting vs the road warriors. the best of seven with benoit.
Booker T is the New Macho Man Randy Savage 💪🏾
I think its funny that "superkicked out of the group" is a phrase in wrestling 🤣
😂😂
A booker T u and goldust was great
And..then they asked Stevie Ray..
N.W.O what a time 💪🏾
Nwo could've had their own wrestling show. Could've stood for " National Wrestling Organization"
Booker when he says “bishness” lmaooo
Im a huge Harlem Heat fan but Booker T's single run was a highlight of Nitro for me. The T.V title run, best of 7 against Benoit, Finley, Saturn, Bret Hart, just to name a few
WCW did Sting wrong. He was a star and went to a nobody doing that NWO shit.
hey Book! you still nWo 4 life! 🤘🏻 Now can you dig that SUKA! 🖐🏻
I always thought your Tenure in that nWo WWE had should have been Longer. It was Tight to see you in the Colors 👏✊
One of my favorite all time wrestlers
Love you Book!!! Give em the Book End!
The way they talked about/around race goes to show why the 90s were a much better time. So much more honesty. Today’s kids recruiting a Black guy into their group would either pretend it wasn’t about diversity or they’d just awkwardly say the word “diverse” out loud. Weirdos.
I was an nWo mark but I couldn't help but like Benoit, booker T. Nasty Boys n Haku.
would like his take on the "people like you" comment from hbk
Vince McMahon & WWE need to bring back the WCW brand. Just in time for Survivor Series next month, November 24, 2019. Raw Vs Smackdown Vs NXT (Vs WCW?). Could only imagine the pop in the crowd and the reaction from the WWE Universe at the arena if that happens. Wrestling fans around the world would get a part of their childhood back again. (For those that were kids/teenagers in the 1990's). Have Goldberg lead the resurgence of the new generation of WCW.
NwO should’ve been Hall, Nash, hogan, giant, Syxx, Eric bishoff those are the main guys. Then buff bag well, Scott norton, Virgil, as their jobbers. And Dennis Rodman on occasions. I’m on the fence about macho man but I did like his nwo theme. And miss Elizabeth was a good addition too. But it would’ve been better if they kept it small and had crow sting to fight along with wcw Adding all the people and making like 3-4 groups. NwO b team and all that kind of ran it into the ground. The wwe version of NwO shouldn’t even be talked about it wasn’t that great.
Booker hands down you dont want to say it but I will. You was were and still is the shit, as a kid you was the man, when Ron Simmons left you took over. Then when you did the transition from The WCW Double Champ to King Booker has been a blast to watch. The matches between you and Stone Cold were some of the best till this date. Tell me He Just Didn’t Say That was a catch phrase i used and even got kicked out of class for sayin it to a teacher. Just a hella of Honor to be able to say Thanks Champ for The Harlem Heat and Awesome memories! Now Can You Dig That Sucka!!!
We need some color bro lol
He didn't mention his golden tag team partner 🤭.
He forgot him and Golddust!
Harlem Heat was my shit dog...
Booker T!!!! My nigga for life.
‘We need some color bro’ lmaooo
ALL Hail king booker
Nwo had nothing on DX
I was always wondering why Booker T was never in the NWO. I kind of wanted him to be in there back in WCW, But, now I know why he wasn't.
Booker Tea
Booker could play Kimbo slice in a documentary
Dude dont. Lowkey racist comment. They look nothing alike u idiot
Book finally joined in wwe
Would NWO have worked if the mystery man was sting instead of hogan? you still get Syx, million dollar man and for muscle you keep Scott Norton.
This girl I use to talk to said her uncle broke his T.V when Hulk Hogan turned heel. And NWO had Virgil 😂.
NWO vs Degeneration X! Man i would flip the channels back and forth. Glad to have been a kid during this time. Shit was real to me! Haha
