Booker T was a four time WCW World Champion when he signed on with the then-WWF and was immediately given a fifth title run on his first night working for his new employers.

Booker was one of the major players in the WCW invasion of the WWF storyline but soon found himself continually on the losing side of main event matches versus WWF stars The Rock, The Undertaker and Kurt Angle.

Booker's career began to regain some traction in his well-loved odd-couple tag team with Goldust that after a long pursuit, finally won the Tag Team Championship at Armageddon 2002.

From there, Booker was pushed back into title contention when he last eliminated The Rock to win a Number One Contender's Battle Royal for the World Championship at Wrestlemania XIX.

That night was a bad night for "The Book" as Champion, Triple H hit him with a pedigree and then waited a massive 19 seconds before successfully pinning him.

That put a bullet in Booker's reputation and it was another three years of struggling in the mid-card before he won the 2006 King of the Ring tournament to become King Booker.

Sending himself up, King Booker got over huge with the fan-base with his elaborate entrances and speech patterns and attire. The character led Booker to the World Championship when he defeated Rey Mysterio to win the gold.

Booker requested his release in 2007 and joined Total Nonstop Action before his illustrious career was celebrated with a WWE Hall of Fame induction in 2013.
