Awesome / Booker T

Go To

  • Booker T's Hall of Fame induction video. As shaky as portions of his WWE run may have been, it still displayed that Booker T was one of the most decorated wrestlers of all time.
  • On the final Monday Nitro The Champion of Champions becomes the only man to hold both the WCW title and the U.S title; this would be echoed by Seth Rollins in 2015, holding the U.S and WWE titles.
    • Also, his first win for the WCW World Title against Jeff Jarrett at Bash at the Beach 2000, considered maybe the one good thing Vince Russo accomplished in WCW.
  • Being the first 100% Black WWE Champion.
  • Calling Dave Bautista out for being a douche to the locker room and challenging him to a one on one brawl in a locked room, and coming out the victor over The Animal, proving himself a bad ass both in real life and in the squared circle.
  • Booker T winning the Battle Royal for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, even though this push was eventually stomped out by Trips, the moment where The Rock holds up Booker T's hand to a roaring ovation is an awesome moment in and of itself.
  • Booker T's Royal Rumble 2011 return. As soon as that familiar music hits every one goes wild, CM Punk himself falling to his knees in exasperation as he sees the Six time world champion arrive. After a few moments of being swarmed Booker begins to hit all his familiar moves from his signature Houston Sidekick, to the Axe Kick, and even a Book End! As the crowd screams in excitement he drops to one knee looking like a man possessed and hits a spin-a-rooni. The crowd explodes as the commentators describing the moment as a 'Mark-out moment' specifically.
  • The very next year, Booker T again enters the Royal Rumble. While he wasn't as impressive this time around, he did earn the distinction of being the announcer who lasted the longest in the Rumble (beating out fellow announcers Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler).
  • His rescue of Teddy Long from Mark Henry. He manages to hit his Axe Kick on the World's Strongest man in a damn business suit!
  • Being one of four men in history to achieve both the WWE and WCW Triple Crowns.
  • Holding exactly 40 titles over his careernote , whatever you may say about his WWE career, the G.I Bro has a lot to be proud of.
