Odds are you have heard the story before but, in the event that you didn't, all you need to know is that Vince McMahon and his crack creative team bungled the most profitable angle of all-time by failing to allow WCW and ECW stars to look as good as his home grown stars and Survivor Series that November was to be home to the merciful conclusion of the story. The main event would pit Team WWE against Team Alliance (the name for the union of WCW and ECW stars) in a traditional tag team elimination bout. Unlike other Survivor Series tag matches, the stakes would be outrageously high as the losing team would be put out of business. McMahon's company, the babyfaces in the war (naturally) would feature The Rock, Chris Jericho, Kane, Undertaker and Big Show while The Alliance (headed by the bratty Shane and Stephanie McMahon) would head into battle with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Rob Van Dam, Shane, Kurt Angle and Booker T holding the fate of the faction in their hands. Of all of the stars on Team Alliance, Booker T was the most interesting. He was incredibly over, was in the prime of his career and demonstrated a knack for entertainment the likes of which WWE coveted. He was an elite performer in front of the camera and a fine competitor between the ropes. But the stench of WCW was all over him and management refused to book him to his fullest potential. Thus, when the Survivor Series main event got underway, the former five-time WCW champion found himself eliminated from the contest well before its climax. In a match with as many Hall of Fame-worthy stars as this one touted, elimination wasn't such a bad thing. It was the way he was eliminated, though, that really proved that Booker was not going to get a fair shake in WWE. At lest at that point, anyway. One of the most decorated and respected stars in WCW history was rolled up by The Rock, eliminated fifth, not important enough to see the fate of the company he carried on his back through. It was incredibly disheartening for fans of the Houston native, who had spent so much time investing themselves emotionally in his journey through the tag ranks, to the world of single competition and, finally, the heavyweight title. To see him eliminated in such a dismissive way crushed the hopes of those anticipating the day that Booker would hold up the top prize in the sports-entertainment under the WWE banner.
