10 Horrible WWE Feuds That Led To Great Matches

6. Triple H Depresses Everyone With Racism

If Cena and Wyatt had flimsy build, then Triple H and Booker T had regrettable build.

2003 wasn't a strong year for 'The Game' overall. His mini-tour of former WCW stars included humdrum efforts vs. Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash and Goldberg. Booker T was a step up from those guys, but the way WWE went about setting it up was atrociously offensive.

Basically, Trips reasoned that "people like" Booker didn't deserve to hold World Titles in pro wrestling. This obvious attack on Book's skin colour was racist beyond belief, and was just one more bid to shock some more butts into seats. Thankfully, Booker was able to do what some of his old Atlanta peers couldn't.

Come WrestleMania XIX, he entered a strong showing opposite Hunter that wiped away some of the distasteful TV beforehand. Most agree that Triple H winning was the wrong result, but the actual match itself was good.

If only they hadn't gone down that race road though.
