Booker T on HOF Award & Batista Fight

[@philaman1972]

Such a nice, humble guy. Way to go, Booker!

[@andrewhernandez491]

Booker T is a G man. Took care of business and doesnt say much. Straight gangsta. I bet duting the 80s and 90s T wasnt someone to mess with.

[@gglover8179]

Yep he is a real dude. He still dont take crap off nobody today as well.

I still wouldn’t want to fight him. He looked in good shape at Royal Rumble standing behind the Scrawny Bunny 😂

[@scottielevias4556]

Batista vs Booker T, the old May 2006 fight was so long ago that Chris Benoit was still alive, CM Punk hasn't debuted yet on the ECW roster, Trish Stratus & Lita still had months left on their initial WWE careers before retiring, and Cody Rhodes hasn't even debuted as a wrestler yet.

[@TheHannibalTV]

Yep but people still talk about it all the time. Stephan Bonnar just asked me about it in his shoot with me so I wanted to know.

[@PreciousLuna1988]

Nice name and Booker was using roids at that time.

[@alallbrooks6558]

Booker T, is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, I grow up watching him and his brother Stevie Ray wrestled in the independent circle, WCW, and when he came over to the WWE, I loved watching his matches my most fued of his when him and the Late Great Chris Benoit, had the best of 7 in WCW and in the WWE, Booker had the look, size and the great mat knowledge of greatness it's a shame that WWE didn't give him a strong push at the Championship like WCW did and he deserved to be the WWE Champion but Vince and Triple H, refused to let him win it.

[@boogidwnej179]

We know why. They didn’t want a blacc champion.

[@alallbrooks6558]

@@boogidwnej179 You're absolutely right about that just like Shawn Michaels, said back in the day when he was supposed to drop the belt to Ahmed Johnson that the title would lose value

[@boogidwnej179]

@@alallbrooks6558 it wouldn’t lose value, it would gain value. He was insecure that a blacc works champion would become too popular. Look at the rock, arguably the most popular world champion… I feel like Booker T couod have gotten to a similar level. He had the charisma, physique, I’m ring skills, athleticism, had great Mic work.

Fit Finlay said Batista won. I think it was a brawl that Booker was winning but it was split up and Batista got the last punch in

[@nathanielbaxter533]

Finlay is literally the only person I've ever heard say that.

[@coreybutler5325]

Batista was on top of Booker right before it was broken up.He was gonna kill this bum lol

[@theassassin9326]

@@smackdowner booker said he won the fight and so is everyone

[@Cantinflasagente777]

I only know that Finlay said that batista and bokker were rolling on the floor, batista was dominating, he had marks on his face, but booker had a very swollen eye that looked like a monster, it is also said that queen sharmell, wife of booker struck in Batista's testicles. In the end they were taken to Vince's office where he told them to end the conflict at once or if not he would fire them, then there they reached an agreement and everything was over, later they had a rivalry and they were able to work together in a ring.

There is conflicting reports about how & why the fight happened. What isn't argued was the fact that Booker absolutely owned Batista in a one-sided beat down.

[@rebeltvr6046]

Batista is a big, but Book is legit strong. There's a difference. Book beat down Batista.

[@boogidwnej179]

@@rebeltvr6046 big doesn’t mean anyhing. Alotta big guys can’t fight, cuz they don’t really get tested since they are so big they never really get tried. Plus Batista was slow and bulky. Booker t was also pretty big guy buy he’s athletic and more agile plus he grew up in the streets where he had to fight everyday.

You forgot the dead man But honestly I didn’t even notice them in this interview I just happened to see tour comment and you forgot taker lol

[@Jotinko]

Booker should now call himself a 6 time…. 6 time World Heavyweight champion as the WWE World Heavyweight Title is almost identical to the WCW belt. I STILL don’t understand why Triple H didn’t put Booker over in 2003. He could have been a 7 time champion and won it in such an awesome fashion unlike his 6th run with the belt when Chavo smoked Rey with the Steel Chair.

I've heard batista was on booker when they were broken up let's not forget tho booker has been a fighter his whole life and not only is he quicker but has no doubt faster hands where as batista had the weight advantage and likely took him down after taking a few punches to the face idk

5th degree black belt in Shotokan and 2nd degree black belt in Hapkido.

[@KillerKrieg]

@@lawrencebritt270 People always ignore the size advantage though. Martial arts is a powerful tool but it can't always overwhelm pure size. One of the best martial arts for winning against size are more grappling based arts like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which if I am not mistaken is not one of Mr. Snipes many fortes, in the grappling department Booker T would probably have the advantage.
