Every Star Of The Last WCW Nitro: Where Are They Now?

20. Booker T

Booker T, if you combine the deliberate and the utterly unintentional, may just be the most entertaining human being to have ever graced this doomed rock.

WWE both buried him, in the ugliest of circumstances, and extracted that core appeal from him in a wild and ultimately great run, in which he soared as the piss-funny partner of Goldust and the pop machine that was King Booookahhh!

The accents did not stop there, and nor did those head-f*ck pops; after a 2007 falling out that led to his release, Booker wrestled in TNA. Or, more accurately, he auditioned for movies while phoning it in in TNA, and did so by blessing us with, for no storyline reason whatsoever, an African accent.

Somehow, some way, Booker was less comprehensible at the WWE commentary booth as he settled into retirement. A spouter of the most inane sh*t you'll ever hear, Booker, a paradox, is also a very respected promoter with a very good track record of cultivating talent.
