Booker T was one of the few Alliance superstars not to be entirely embarrassed during the botched Invasion story, but this isn't saying much. Booker T was the only WCW roster member involved in the big WWF vs. The Alliance Survivor Series match that ended the feud, which tells you a lot about how WCW was booked during that time.

Booker feuded with Stone Cold Steve Austin afterward, a feud that gave us the infamous scrap between the two in a supermarket. Once this was done however, Booker was reduced to what seemed like midcard purgatory for life, feuding with Edge over the rights to appear in a Japanese shampoo advert. This was a WrestleMania feud ladies and gentlemen.

After a brief run with the WWE version of the New World Order, Booker T found himself teaming with Goldust in a midcard comedy team. The two had fantastic chemistry from the start, and by the time they split amicably a few months later Booker T was one of the most popular babyfaces on the roster.

He would go on to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship against Triple H at WrestleMania XIX, and we all know how that went.
