to be different
it was different back then, a nice change from the mastodon chads doing power moves
nowadays everyone wrestles like a cruiserweight so booker would have wrestled like a mastodon

Quoted By:

In a world of roided out hosses who had the flexibility of a steel rod, Booker T was a jacked up black dude who looked as physically impressive as the rest of them but was also incredibly athletic.

Showing it is how he stood out.
Goddamn zoomers.

Booker is one of the good ones.

>>9780668
Not really, but he's an industry man. You don't need to draw yourself when you carry everyone you work with to being draws.

Not exactly. He was based but it’s not like whether he was there or not affected the ratings/ticket sales. That describes like 98% of wrestlers though.

Everyone Booker wrestled with looked like a million bucks. He is the GOAT midcarder.

Should have beat HHH though. Him losing that match was a fucking crime.

No, but no one in WCW was a draw when he got pushed to the main event so it’s not really on him. There is no reason why he shouldn’t have been a draw because he could talk, had a good look, and could wrestle
