Together, Booker T and his brother Stevie Ray can look back proudly on the fact that they captured more WCW Tag-Team Titles than any other team in the promotion's history. In total, Harlem Heat bagged the gold ten different times, a company record that will never be beaten by any other tandem.

Looking back on Heat's matches, Booker T was the undoubted star of the unit, but Ray more than held up his end of the bargain. He was more of a power wrestler, less flexible and prone to high-flying moves than his soon-to-be World Champion sibling. By the time Harlem Heat disbanded for good in 1999, Booker was more than ready for other things.

He'd win World Titles in WCW and in the WWF/WWE. Meanwhile, Stevie Ray wouldn't experience the same degree of success, and only teamed with his brother for one last match in 2015.

Having formed in 1989, Harlem Heat must be considered one of the longest-running and most successful teams never to wrestle for Vince McMahon as a collective.
