What if Triple H had signed with WCW in 1999?

#2 No world title reign for Booker T

With another young main event incumbent and skilled politician in the mix, it's uncertain Booker T would have gotten his shot on top in WCW.

Booker T was one of the very few and arguably the last legitimate main event level star that WCW built from the ground up. Moving from the more athletic half of a solid tag team to a mid-carder with a lot of potential, Booker finally got pushed all the way to the top in WCW’s dying days. Much of the marquee talent was on the shelf, grappling with contract issues, or increasingly not performing like top guys. Booker got the opportunity so many fresh talents seemed to have been waiting on for years.

Had Triple H been in the mix in WCW, it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t have won the world title. Not only was he a can’t miss talent, but his skill with playing politics and his friendship with Kevin Nash—who was in and out of the booker role—meant the Cerebral Assassin likely could have gotten on top and stayed on top for some time. Top stars of WCW’s final years like Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, and particularly Booker T may then have been out of luck in ever getting their turn on top had Triple H signed.
