Had WCW survived a few years longer, it's highly likely that beloved five-time world champion Booker T would have become a permanent fixture in the main event of Starrcade, and yet he never managed to close out its WWE equivalent.

The closest the former Harlem Heat member got to a headline match at WrestleMania came in 2003, when he challenged Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship in a meeting that got a distant third billing behind Rock-Austin and Lesnar-Angle.

Many observers have subsequently claimed that the reason Booker struggled to command the sort of position on the WWE card that he once held in Atlanta owed precisely to the fact that he wasn't a Vince McMahon-made wrestler.

That seems almost too petty to believe, but given how hot the guy was during the early part of his run with the company, there is really no other plausible explanation for his not capturing world title gold and becoming a permanent fixture at the top of Monday Night Raw.
