Once upon a time, Booker T was primed to become the face of a much-maligned WCW. He was just about there, after having won their world championship five times (yeah, I know that sounds ridiculous). Then, the company folded and the WWE brought the future King Bookah into their side of the pond. Things would never be the same.

From a horribly executed Invasion to a fun supermarket beat-down at the hands of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Booker T just slipped further and further into oblivious. Though many people point to his brutal loss to Triple H at Wrestlemania 19 as the moment where everything went downhill. The seeds had been planted a year prior.

At Wrestlemania X8, Booker T would feud with Edge over a Japanese shampoo commercial. For things to get that terrible, they'd have to be just a little worse first. Coming in at number 30, I'm sure Booker fancied his chances to headline Wrestlemania.

However in his way stood the revenge-hungry Stone Cold, looking to set a record for most eliminations. He did so by tossing out his former rival with relative ease, in an embarrassing 33 seconds. Luckily Booker T at least managed one elimination to save face.

Eliminated by Stone Cold Steve Austin.
