10 Weirdest Abandoned WWE Moments

8. Somebody Still Remembers Booker T

In November 2003, Booker T was given a note backstage by an unseen person.

Before Heidenreich handed it to him, they shared a very real conversation when plugging a book entitled 'WWE Unscripted'. "I've heard there's tonnes of great pictures in here," Heidenreich said. Imagine. Imagine WWE wrestlers milling about backstage, sharing not in-jokes or stories about how much they miss their families but regaling one another about the quality of candid pictures in an official company book. The writing has sucked for at least 18 years. Nobody buries it to make AEW look better by comparison. It just stinks.

The note read 'I Still Remember'. Booker was unmoved. "I ain't got time for this crap," he said, and neither did creative. The storyline was dropped and was never picked up again.

But for argument's sake, who do we think might have remembered, and what?

Was Booker T a mad sh*gger on the side? Was somebody trying to frame him?

Was Triple H simply so overjoyed at burying him at WrestleMania that he still liked to remind him of the fact several months later?

Booker probably blamed Jason Jordan for it and chinned him offscreen.
