Booker T is the GOAT of black wrestlers, I don't think anyone will come close to him. His moveset was amazing, great on the stick, great selling and psychology. It's so sad we never got to see him with the WWE championship honestly.

I'm a racist but Booker and Shelton and two of my favs of all time.

You can not name more than 20 black wrestlers who have/had all the following qualities in one package:
>Athletic
>Charismatic
>The Look
>Drawing power

I challenge you to name 21 black wrestlers coz i couldn't go past 20, who had the above attributes.

He stole his catchphrase from Paige and his finished from Finn Balor. Name one original thing this dude brought to the business? I can name like 20 things Booker has done that will be always be remembered to a generation of fans

Booker's whole career can be summed up in only 10 things
>Calling Hogan a Nig during his Harlem Heat run
>Being The Rock's cheap copy in WCW, and jobbing to him at SummerSlam
>Being a 5x WCW champ (he doesn't add the WWE WHC run)
>Spinaroonie, Sucka
>Supermarket brawl with austin
>Fag Team with Goldust
>Jobbing to Haitch at WrestleMania
>Cringey King Booker gimmick

All of those things you mentioned are incredibly based

The fact that Triple Gay felt he had to bury him because he was afraid of how over Booker had gotten tagging with Golddust (SUCKA signs in every crowd) will never fail to make me laugh. I will always remember that faggot's pettiness as he clutched onto his spot even as fans left in droves.

Butch Reed and Ernie Ladd were better than Booker T.

Booker T is pretty damn great.
Mark Henry is a better promo, but T is a better wrestler.
Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin are better athletic wrestlers, but T has much more charisma and is a better promo.

I am 37 year old and I can't compare him to the old greats like Ernie Ladd since I have seen only so little.

This is very true and exactly how I felt at the time. Booker was always extremely over, WCW couldn't even keep him down and they had to pay out millions for doing exactly that to nonwhite talent. Then the WWE couldn't bury him no matter how hard they tried. Even that flukey battle royale win where he looked so weak before surprise eliminating The Dwayne to punch his ticket to WM didn't cool him down, so sweaty Triple K politicked hard and got his racist shoot position of "c'mon Dad, we can't REALLY let one of THOSE guys win the White Man's championship, I mean we already gave them The Rock" over with Vince and his infamously racist cronies like Michael Hayes and Brother Love.

Vince always had final call. HHH is smart enough to know that outcome made Booker a martyr to fans. If he truly had a say he would have lost so fans would cream over how he was such a good guy to put Booker over, which would put the spotlight on him and make Booker's win come off as a you deserve it moment rather than grabbing the ring or losing due to politicking.

I wonder why they haven't had much luck.
>Didn't push Shelton when he was one of the homegrown WWE guys
>Wasted fucking Lashley when he was finally getting some wind under his sail, the only guy on the WWE roster that looks like an actual superstar
>Didn't give Book the win when he was white hot, only did so as a shitty comedic heel with a king gimmick and he was still pushed to the side for a gaitch/fagtista fued
>Booker in general was a watered down version of his WCW self
>Wasting Montez when he's outright saying he wants to do more than just job out every night
>Not letting Truth get the win at Capital Punishment, pushes fucking CM Bitch instead (Vince definitely regrets that one, but HGH is another story)
>Letting Orton throw a diva fit over Kofi botching and dooming him with the New Gay for a decade and counting
Mark Henry is the only one that stood out and they waited fifteen years to make him a monster heel that beats people up. One look at his size and you should already know what to do with him. It helps that his gimmick was real and not fake.

WCW literally had more black wrestlers/characters and let them shine. The Cat is literally leagues ahead of every black wrestler today and he wasn't even a wrestler.

>H-his kicks don't do shit
And yet his educated feet, rolling thunder, top rope belly flop and kicking a chair drew so much more money and made so many more wrestling fans than Mark Henry's bearhugs and slams could ever drive away. Stop. Just stop posting here.
