Booker T
Booker T might be on the Mount Rushmore of WCW alongside Ric Flair, Sting and DDP. Booker T was a tag team wrestler steeped in bad gimmick throughout his first few years with the promotion but by 1995 became pro wrestling’s best tag team with his brother Stevie Ray. The two would become tag team champs off and on throughout the ’90s until 1999. Then Booker would ascend to main event status and become a ‘five-time’ world champion for the brand.
After the closing of the company, Booker T would go to the WWE and would finally capture another world title in 2006, five years after joining the company. He’d then leave in 2007 and would have a two-year run in TNA. Going from November of 2007 to November of 2009. His time there was marred by him slacking off and arguably treating it as a vacation that he got paid for.
After his departure, he’d end up back in the WWE and would go on to start his own promotion, Reality of Wrestling out of Houston, Texas. The brand is still active today with working relationships with W-1 and IMPACT Wrestling.
