Booker T Off The Record part (2/2)

[@branchtana315]

Booker T is a true class act. Very under rated worker in the ring too!

[@madkent99]

underrated?? no way. no one under rates him it a very widely accepted and known fact that he is one of the best in ring performers.

[@keitrasanders1398]

So true

[@MarcAntomattei]

Humble guy. He's a real champion to me.

[@TheSWFuniverse]

0:44 The Invasion angled failed because it lacked WCW main eventers. The Alliance was also headed by borrowing WWF stars like Stone Cold and eventual WWF mole Kurt Angle. The Invasion was actually entertaining on a high level but failed as a true WWF vs WCW angle. DDP and Booker T were awesome to see but it sucked big time that the WCW/ECW Invasion PPV roster had only 2 WCW guys for the Inaugural Brawl. It didn't help that DDP wasn't used right and they were downgrading Booker T's presence on PPV to him and Shane vs Rock at Unforgiven. If the WCW/ECW Alliance had so much as simply Sting and Flair, or Sting, Flair and the big ticket Goldberg.. it would've been successful. Booker T, DDP, Sting, Flair and Goldberg would've been perfect vs. Austin, Angle, Jericho, Taker and Kane at the Invasion PPV.. and getting the nWo afterwards in 2002 would've been fine.

[@ThaOneChrisJONES]

He's so humble, I have so much respect for Booker T.

[@DaKoolDude]

Booker did it with hard work. Respect

[@theelusiveman9706]

The bookman is the man

[@waxoftriple9]

The funny thing is, the Invasion ppv was actually a pretty damn good buyrate, one of the best of the entire year if I'm not mistaken.

[@omegaman6494]

Best of the year besides Mania. Imagine the buyrate if instead of Booker, DDP, Rhyno and the Dudleyz as Team WCW in the main event you had Hogan, Hall, Nash, Scott Steiner and Sting

[@kevinstewart8876]

Have you seen Booker T today? That guy is still in excellent shape. I want to know his workout routine because I want to be in that kind of shape when I get up there in age.

[@Super122291]

Then ask him Kevin

[@ir10031981]

yeah he's still in great shape, he'll be 55 on Sunday 3-1-2020.

And he didn't change after all this time. One of my favorites. Sometimes it takes a rough upbringing to makea great adult.

[@bored1ca]

I always liked Booker T - what a great interview!

[@keitrasanders1398]

I ❤️ Booker T so much 😀

[@fransmith645]

BOOKER T IS A VERY HUMBLE AND CLASSY MAN. ENJOYED WATCHING HIM WRESTLE. NOT BAD 2 LOOK AT EITHER. EVEN NOW.! LOVE YOU BOOKER.

[@kevinstewart8876]

I liked all the times he teamed up with other wrestlers like RVD, Golddust, and of course his brother Stevie Ray.

[@thungergodstayfly]

He is such a Class Act

[@armin38822]

that sound : Can you dig it ...suckeeeeer . so great.

[@KaseyLiamVlogs]

I knew he was going to say Benoit.

[@robbymarton74]

I remember watching this and loving him even more

[@Fazlifts]

Booker is awesome, big favourite. Did you guys hear he was 5 times WCW Champion?

[@lucheloco420]

I met Harlem Heat once back in 96. They were both (as Bret Hart would say) jam up guys.

[@kemalwise3252]

Kemal:Yes,Harlem Heat is Greatness! No other Teams match up to them. Greatness, always To The Heights.

[@420methos]

ill still say if any young talent wants to learn the buisness, go to booker's school in houston. its the best place to learn values and booker is the best to look up to

[@TheAazah]

Cole is one of the best play by play no one compares to him at what he does he's not like JR who doesn't do Play by play and when he does he's bad at it thats why vince Loves Cole so much

[@raiderldp]

This is the 1st interview that I've seen that has made any sense of the watered down WWE since the buyout. Thank you Booker T for not being the punk that most wrestlers become in front of 'regular' cameras.

[@randomuser942464]

hes won 9 championships in wwe and won king of the ring. was made a commentator and a host of a tv show. hes doing and did just fine.

Booker T the fucking legend!

[@TehQuestion75]

Me and a friend went to a WcW house show one time here in New Mexico, and when Booker T came out my friend tried to high five him, but missed and slapped him hard right in the face. It was an accident of course, but Booker T looked legitimately pissed as he said "What the fuck man?" hahaha we still laugh about it to this day, 10+ years later

[@88smjls]

Kurt Angle wasn't in WCW what is Landsberg talking about?

[@DrewKane]

It should be noted that Kurt is a former WCW World Champion and WCW United States Champion. Kurt had a single appearance in WCW before he joined WWF, but didn't wrestle for the company.

[@EscapeTheRules]

+88smjls He was talking about the Alliance storyline.

[@jpalvarez4972]

I don't think either man really knew what the question was there.

Good evening. Booker

[@TheFoodieCutie]

Booker T: pure class.

[@bookert01]

Imagine if WCW didn't have the problems it did back than and wrestler that had talent like Bookert T were given a push. Do you think that WWE would be still around today?

[@MrX8X]

i agree with Booker T though about the Invasion angle and how it could have been soooo much better...I loved it back in da day but then again I was in high school then...I look at wrestling now being in my 20s

[@JackBarrett7]

Id like to see a Brawl for All type competition w Booker T in it..esp against guys w an ego/attitude problem like Scott Steiner, Nash, Bob Holly, etc.

@kthurst15 Unless you're just stating the obvious, did you ever consider the date at the bottom of the screen to be mixed around so it's showing DD/MM/YY and not MM/DD/YY?

[@Rodgerinho]

4:10 There's a proper insight into the mindset of a wrestler. They NEED good competition to have the drive and motivation to do their best, enjoy their work and please the fans. SOOOO when someone like John Cena or Miz is champion, when they haven't done their time and learned the business, and neither can wrestle, it doesnt encourage young talent to come to the WWE, and the old guys get demoralised by it. Hell, Rock even said he never wanted to wrestle Cena. Vince should listen to the veterans

Booker T should b in the WWE HOF.

[@hbk92701]

The invasion angle failed because it was rushed and the guys that you wanted to see, didn't have to wrestle because they could sit back and collect checks from Time Warner. Triple H gets hurt and there is no more 2 man power trip angle and Sting doesn't want to wrestle as hard as someone like the Undertaker.

[@AdamCopeland2]

MAN...I sooooo miss Chris Benoit:(((

[@mothercanuckers2202]

Oh ya don't get too caught up on the dates because they probably get recorded on that date with this kind of interview it probably aired after the Survivor Series pay-per-view ended but Booker T I'm guessing got this interview when he had some free time and obviously being a wrestler involved in the storyline he knew it was over.

[@Sener]

He's a tremendous host.

[@bookert01]

@ToM2CoOL I do agree with you that WCW had the better talent. If it wasn't true look at all the WWE wrestler that are no longer with WWE since the buyout.

[@fpshooterful]

Really don't understand why the invasion angle was a flop? I mean sure i didn't get the A plus stars like Sting, Hogan, Nash, etc to come into the WWE ppvs and have a fued.. but i still liked the fact like at the time smaller stars like RVD, Billy Kid, and more had the chance to shine, but besides that i still thought the storyline was cool cause it was still WCW and ECW vs WWF.. and they could have milked that till the NWO came into the picture just about 2years after... i thought the PPV sold good at the time?

[@Tezz1972]

In my opinion go back to 4 to 5 PPVs a year instead of 1 per month and defend the titles on Raw and SD once a month. CReative control is basically recycling old gimmicks and storylines but the problem is, those gimmicks and storylines worked in the eras they were in ie: Attitude,Monday Night Warsm etc, and the Invasion storyline was straight garbage and Im glad that somebody actually admitted it.

[@WarriorSmurf]

@BudlightBuzzin Okay, they should've recorded this theme, lmao!!

[@Deanobucko917]

[@jerryjo8075]

is he supposed to be not well spoken? do you point this out about every wrestler or just the black ones? it's insulting when you patronize and give backhanded shallow compliments as if to imply that you didnt expect that kind of behavior. stop with the subtle racism.

Invation didn't work because Vince didn't really want it to work. For one thing the ECW aspect should have come much later. WCW should have won at "Invation" (as they did) but as a result got there own show (WCW SmackDown maybe) then down the line have ECW star rezent this and turn them into an nWo type group and attack both sides.

You want him to just be like "Oh your so great tell me how great and perfect your career has been" when that is a complete lie no one's career is perfect he tries to get as much out of the interview as he can with the real people remember Booker T was employed at this time.
