10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Booker T

One of the best has been through some of the worst.

Booker T's record speaks for itself.

A five-time WCW Champion, former WWE World Heavyweight, Intercontinental, United States, Tag-Team, Hardcore titleholder and King Of The Ring, Booker has pretty much done it all. He's also held WCW's US and Television Titles, and he holds the record for most Tag-Team Title reigns (10, with brother Stevie Ray) in WCW history.

Whether playing one half of Harlem Heat, working in an odd couple tag-team with Goldust, striking out on his own as "King" Booker with wife Sharmell Sullivan or as part of TNA's Main Event Mafia, Booker T has always entertained. Hell, he was even passable when Vince Russo thought he should be G.I Bro again in 2000.

Why then, would WWE want you to forget anything about such a celebrated, successful performer who broke WCW stigma to become a rip-roaring success? Signature Pharmacy, The Boogeyman, senseless racism, shampoo and "bestiality sex", that's why.

It hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows for poor Booker, especially throughout his core WWE run. If the man himself could look back on most of this stuff, there's only one thing he'd say, and it isn't, "Shucky Ducky Quack Quack".

Or maybe it is.
