Booker T

Character from WWE by WWE / TKO Group

The Five-Time Champion — a Harlem Heat veteran who fought his way from the streets to the throne, literally crowning himself King Booker along the way.

Five-time WCW World Champion. FIVE TIMES. Booker T is the embodiment of WCW's best homegrown talent transplanted into WWE and ultimately vindicated by a World Heavyweight Championship reign a decade into his main roster tenure. His partnership and rivalry with Stevie Ray in Harlem Heat is among the finest tag teams of the 1990s. His commentary career has added a layer of warmth and comedy to his legacy that the in-ring work alone couldn't fully deliver. Can you dig it, SUCKA?

Appearance

The spinaroonie — a breakdancing floor spin executed mid-match — is one of wrestling's most crowd-pleasing non-wrestling moments. Ring gear that shifted with each character phase, from the athletic gear of Harlem Heat to the King Booker robe and crown of his SmackDown title run.

Also known as: King Booker, The Five-Time Champion
