The Story Behind Booker T's WCW Title Run

Co-sign, the only dude that was an equal opportunist was Paul Heyman. I remember Tazz and Sabu going back and forth for the heavyweight title and I'm assuming Vince, Russo and the rest of these crackers don't want an African-American audience, just an American, Mexican, LGBT and Samoan fan base.

It's basically the same type of ? that resulted in Mark Henry winning the WHC. They put in on him as pacification and good PR for the racist ? Micheal Hayes pulled. Booker, Mark, and Farooq all token title reigns and nothing more.

Shout out to Big E!

You in for a long and very disappointing career my ?

Big E looking like a young Ahmed Johnson. If he stay in shape he has a shot, the politics aren't against him like it was against others.

I think Ahmed was go win the title at some point but he couldn't stay healthy.

I remember that mess with GI Bro.

they weren't doing nothing with Booker, and then the MIA, Misfits In Action were a low/mid card stable with kats like Lash LeRoux, Major Gunns, Chavo Guerrero, The Wall, Van Hammer, and Hugh Morrus that Booker just popped out of nowhere and was a member.

he rode with those bums for a couple months then suddenly he shed that gimmick and went back to being the athletic Booker that we all knew and won the title.

I've said it for years, I never understood why African American choose professional wrestling as a career when it's going to be guided by someone who doesn't like you because of the color of your skin. Why waste your youth on a sport that doesn't like you?

We see it all the time when a black wrestler makes his come up, their stepping stone tends to bring up ? like eating chicken, dancing, watermelon, a criminal past, hip hop music, pimping, a cracked out family member, "non proper" English, "the hood", ? like that. And their gimmicks are so stereotypical, it's disgusting. At some point in time, they will wear a stereotype on their sleeve if they are introduced as an all-american athlete, whether they know/like it or not. If they reject the gimmick, they are considered an unruly ? , jobbed out, and future endeavored. They will find someone who will take that role, just like in Hollywood Shuffle.

Rocky was about to get fired because he couldn't get over with the original smiling to the ring, slapping hands with the fans type gimmick. On top of that, he was injury prone early in his career.

If it wasn't for Ahmed Johnson always getting hurt and opening up a spot in the NOD, The Rock may not had ever been born.

the rock may not have been the best technical wrestler, a point HBK and HHH tried to bring up on numerous occasions in their attempts to son Rock, but the crowd didn't want to hear about how well he wrestled; they wanted him to spit flame on the mic for a good laugh and lay the smacketh down on some jabronies.

to this day, a wise cracking, ? character is beloved by the crowd. It's hard to boo someone who ethers everyone creative put in front of them.

if Booker T, with his athleticism, had Rock's verbal, he'd be GOAT. He was nice, but too many times I tried to figure out what he said because of his thick tongue (nh).
