10 Moments WWE Don't Want You To Find On The Network

4. Triple H Throws Money At Booker T

Where to find it: Raw, March 10th 2003

No, not that racist Triple H moment. The other one.

Most have seen the hideous "people like you don't win World Championships" setup and even more the gross WrestleMania XIX conclusion, but an in-between moment between Booker T and Triple H from the same angle gets a little less play. As it would if WWE ever got around to removing it.

Tracking 'The Game' down in a fit of rage after yet more disparaging remarks, Booker finds him and kicks the f*ck out of him. But if that was the story, it wouldn't be in this list. That's the problem with this and others like it - wrestling is cooperative and Booker had to actively participate, leading some to foolishly assume that the vignette is fine, actually.

It's not, and not just because they assumed Booker getting the better over Hunter was vindication enough. No, the Champion throwing a dollar at the Challenger to ask for a towel doubles down on the racial overtones from the prior week. Bad people okayed this, and similarly rotten ones defend it.
