10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Booker T

3. His WrestleMania 22 Feud Was Another Dud

Booker's last match at WrestleMania occurred in 2007 (as part of Money In The Bank), and it gave him the chance to exorcise memories of the year before. At WrestleMania 22 in 2006, Booker faced The Boogeyman, and it was as thrilling as that sounds.

To recap, before MITB, Booker worked a throwaway match with Edge at X-8, was trampled by Triple H at XIX, teamed with RVD in a Fatal-4-Way at XX, won a pre-show Battle Royal before 'Mania 21 and then had to contend with the bloody Boogeyman at 22.

That's quite the run.

Technically, Booker's wife Sharmell was involved in this one. Although WWE painted it as a Handicap Match, it was more four minutes of Booker throwing punches at Boogey before the worm-eating nightmare launched his comeback, kissed Sharmell and finished off Booker.

Fans sat quietly throughout, likely wondering what had happened to Booker's career when he was jobbing to cartoonish freaks in just a few minutes.
