25 Years Of WWE Raw Mistakes

15. 2003 - Triple H Racially Abuses Booker T (March 10th)

Picked apart for years on this website and many others, the Triple H/Booker T storyline is often only considered as awful as it was because the racially abused party didn't even gain vindication in the form of an actual win when it counted. Unfortunately, the creative crimes committed were already far too great to overcome with a simple title victory.

The low point of a low time came when Booker tracked Hunter down to a washroom. Rather than cowering in fear, attempting escape or even fighting his furious foe, Triple H simply threw money in his face and asked for a towel. Yet more unashamed racism, infuriatingly brushed aside.
