Booker T was a former World Champion in WWE that left the company in 2007. He spent the next three years working for TNA Wrestling before the night of the Royal Rumble in 2011. It was not an advertised return. It was a complete surprise. With CM Punk, David Otunga, Michael McGillicutty and Mason Ryan in the ring as the new Nexus, the clock ticked down for the 21st entrant. "Can you dig it sucka?" The crowd could. They went crazy as Booker T made his WWE return after a four year absence. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgv8cx_wwe-royal-rumble-2011-booker-t-returns_sport The moment was also pretty famous for commentator Matt Striker saying "it's a markout moment" and "I'm marking out bro." Those were insider terms that a commentator wasn't supposed to say. It seemed to fit for the moment. Even though his return last less than two minutes, the crowd went wild for him and he even hit the Spinarooni much to the delight of the audience.
