10 Totally Wasted Wrestling Factions

9. King Booker's Court

Truth be told, I had completely forgotten that this group ever existed in the first place. Booker T experienced something of a career resurrection after winning the King of the Ring tournament, taking on the King Booker persona and running with it. Sharmell also experienced a new lease of life as Queen Sharmell, and for a while the duo were as entertaining as anything on WWE TV.

The coronation of King Booker saw the group come together for the first time, as the married couple were joined by Sir William Regal and Sir Finlay. The primary aim of the group was to aid Booker in his feud against Bobby Lashley, with Finlay picking up a win against their foe to capture the United States Championship.

King Booker would become World Heavyweight Champion during the faction's run, but six months after coming together the group was done. The end of the group was fine enough, with Finlay refusing to lay down for Booker, but the creative possibilities of the faction weren't even vaguely explored, meaning the end came in extremely underwhelming fashion.

A great example of extremely talented performers coming together to create a whole lot of nothing.
