10 Most Notorious Booker T Urban Legends

Was Booker T vs. Shawn Michaels originally scheduled for WrestleMania 23?

Entered into the WWE Hall Of Fame the night before WrestleMania 29 in 2013, Booker T has been involved in the pro wrestling industry since 1989. The man was one of the bigger stars to cross over to the then-WWF once Vince McMahon bought over World Championship Wrestling in 2001, and went on to become a multi-time World Champion in the promotion. Fans in WCW had been crying out for years to see Booker elevated to the main event scene, and they finally got their wish in the year 2000. At Bash At The Beach, the fan favourite captured the WCW World Title during a match with Jeff Jarrett. It was the culmination of over a decade of effort from the wrestler, who had previously been viewed as more of a tag-team specialist. Controversy has followed Booker T around during his life, especially as a young adult. Spending almost 2 years in prison during his youth, Booker was released from jail due to his stellar behaviour. The arrest stemmed from an attempted armed robbery he was involved in, and the man has been very candid about the incident over the years and how he has learned from it. That's not an urban legend, the arrest is fact, but this article deals with 10 other ideas that are often thrown around online as Booker T urban myths. From backstage heat with notable WWE Divas, to original WrestleMania matches involving Booker T, these legends are dissected to see what truth - if any - can be attached to them.
