10 Wrestling Rivalries Too Personal To Be Fake
9. Batista Vs. Booker T
This story is one many already know. The on screen feud between King Booker and Batista began in 2006 and would eventually lead to Booker losing his world title to The Animal.
Batista was said to be quite arrogant around this time given that he was now World Champion. Booker could be forgiven for being annoyed at Batista. After all, he had been working for years to be world champion and here’s Big Dave coming in and winning it in his first couple of years.
During a SummerSlam 2006 photoshoot, the pair got in a heated argument. Batista was said to have called SmackDown the "B Show", tacitly insulting Booker and other veterans that bulked out the blue brand at the time.
One thing led to another that eventually saw a fight break out. According to people who were there at the time, Booker came out on top in this instance.
