Wrestlers With The Most World Titles (Across All Major Federations)

5 WCW Championships

1 World Heavyweight Championship

The history of the WCW Championship is full of vacancy, quick title changes and short reigns. In short, quantity over quality. See for example champions like Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Jeff Jarrett or Diamond Dallas Page, who all held the title on numerous occasions yet have all a combined reigns total under 60 days. Booker T is barely any different. His title reigns lasted respectively 50, 8, 55, 120 and 20 days.

Thankfully though with Booker there was at least some quality. His first title reign was possibly the last creative triumph of a dying WCW, his heartfelt promo the next day was the stuff of true champions and his match against The Rock at SummerSlam 2001 was an underrated gem.

Apart from his glorious King Booker run as World Heavyweight Champion, he was never really depicted as a top-of-the-mountain star in WWE, and his reputation seems to have somewhat suffered from it. When WhatCulture polled fans to put together a top 100 Wrestlers of All Time in 2016, Booker T was one of the biggest omissions. In contrast, that same year Kurt Angle claimed Booker T was top five material, no less. While that's quite far fetched, Booker was nonetheless a charismatic figure, a skilful worker and a tag team legend, and shouldn't be as overlooked as he currently is.
