Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,035 --> 00:00:04,671
All hail King Booker.
2
00:00:06,473 --> 00:00:09,075
Get your spinaroonie's
3
00:00:09,076 --> 00:00:10,476
for the five time-
4
00:00:10,477 --> 00:00:12,111
Five time-
five time.
5
00:00:12,112 --> 00:00:14,181
-WCW Champion.
6
00:00:14,281 --> 00:00:15,883
Booker T is the
champ.
7
00:00:16,416 --> 00:00:18,584
Yeah, we did just say that.
8
00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:21,188
Today we look back at the very
best of Booker T.
9
00:00:21,822 --> 00:00:23,422
Give him all the hardware.
10
00:00:23,423 --> 00:00:25,024
He's the man.
11
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:28,562
This is WWE's Greatest
Moments.
12
00:00:29,263 --> 00:00:33,000
Now can you dig that sucka?
13
00:00:34,635 --> 00:00:36,469
Acknowledge me
14
00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:37,603
My God.
15
00:00:37,604 --> 00:00:39,839
Stone Cold with a beer bath.
16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,508
This is surreal.
17
00:00:42,509 --> 00:00:43,609
Look at this.
18
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:44,845
He slammed him.
19
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:53,786
Welcome, everyone to WWE's
Greatest Moments.
20
00:00:53,787 --> 00:00:56,422
I'm Michael Cole, and on this
edition, we're looking back at
21
00:00:56,423 --> 00:00:59,425
the greatest moments in the two
time Hall of Fame career
22
00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:01,895
of the one and only Booker T.
23
00:01:02,596 --> 00:01:03,697
The Booker man has one of the
24
00:01:03,797 --> 00:01:07,067
most decorated careers in all of
professional wrestling.
25
00:01:07,167 --> 00:01:11,837
The five time, five time,
five time, five time, five time
26
00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:14,007
WCW champion
27
00:01:14,508 --> 00:01:18,844
Holding 21 titles, the most in
WCW history.
28
00:01:18,845 --> 00:01:20,313
King of the Ring.
29
00:01:20,314 --> 00:01:21,948
He's the voice of NXT.
30
00:01:21,949 --> 00:01:23,482
A coach on LFG.
31
00:01:23,483 --> 00:01:25,352
When they feel you, it's in
here.
32
00:01:25,986 --> 00:01:27,753
And he even had a Latin Grammy
Award winning
33
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:30,022
Bad Bunny song about him.
34
00:01:30,023 --> 00:01:32,592
Can you dig it, sucka?
35
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:34,627
There's no denying the
charisma
36
00:01:34,628 --> 00:01:35,962
that comes with Booker T.
37
00:01:35,963 --> 00:01:36,963
Boom.
38
00:01:36,964 --> 00:01:39,599
Right there.
39
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,069
And one of his signature moves
is the infamous spinaroonie.
40
00:01:42,669 --> 00:01:44,870
There's nothing like seeing
Booker get in the zone
41
00:01:44,871 --> 00:01:46,306
to get the crowd hyped.
42
00:01:46,406 --> 00:01:49,442
But many fans wonder where the
genesis
43
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:51,044
of this break dance took place.
44
00:01:54,147 --> 00:01:55,548
Major League
Wrestling fans
45
00:01:55,549 --> 00:01:56,983
we're taking our
first look at a
46
00:01:56,984 --> 00:01:59,753
new tag team
here in the area,
47
00:01:59,987 --> 00:02:02,722
Booker T and
Stevie Ray.
48
00:02:02,723 --> 00:02:03,790
When it came to wrestling,
49
00:02:04,291 --> 00:02:05,559
I didn't know what was
going to happen.
50
00:02:05,892 --> 00:02:08,027
I had to do everything to make
it happen.
51
00:02:08,028 --> 00:02:09,996
I used to love dancing.
52
00:02:09,997 --> 00:02:12,064
You were a kid from the
neighborhood
53
00:02:12,065 --> 00:02:13,433
and you was all for the dance.
54
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:16,268
Breakdancing was really, really
huge.
55
00:02:16,269 --> 00:02:17,803
I said, "Man, I'm gonna try this
now,"
56
00:02:17,804 --> 00:02:20,072
so I started breakdancing.
57
00:02:20,073 --> 00:02:20,906
Wow, check it out.
58
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:21,742
Whoa.
59
00:02:21,842 --> 00:02:23,042
What do you think of that,
Gary?
60
00:02:23,043 --> 00:02:25,911
When I got a chance to just
bring a little bit of that world
61
00:02:25,912 --> 00:02:27,647
inside of the wrestling ring,
62
00:02:27,648 --> 00:02:30,883
I learned the power of
entertainment that night,
63
00:02:30,884 --> 00:02:33,787
and it's been a part of my
career ever since day one.
64
00:02:34,788 --> 00:02:37,123
I think the spinaroonie
started out thid cool thing
65
00:02:37,124 --> 00:02:39,825
that Booker could do and
slowly morphed itself.
66
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:42,229
It just takes on a whole life of
its own.
67
00:02:42,662 --> 00:02:43,697
JR here it is.
68
00:02:43,797 --> 00:02:44,864
Right here.
69
00:02:44,865 --> 00:02:45,665
Here it comes.
70
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:46,399
Here it comes.
71
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,466
You're about to witness.
72
00:02:47,467 --> 00:02:49,068
Oh, it's the most
electrifying-
73
00:02:49,069 --> 00:02:51,837
Spinaroonie I've ever seen.
74
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:53,673
Had the spinaroonie, had leg
thing.
75
00:02:53,674 --> 00:02:54,941
He had the hook.
76
00:02:55,442 --> 00:02:56,675
He'd look at that hand.
77
00:02:56,676 --> 00:02:59,146
The flair for drama-
78
00:02:59,246 --> 00:03:00,547
Starts with the hand,
of course.
79
00:03:00,647 --> 00:03:04,418
You know, after one knee, all
the centrifugal force
80
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:05,718
comes from the dreads,
81
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:06,752
you know, shake-
82
00:03:06,753 --> 00:03:08,120
Once you shake the dreads,
83
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:11,258
it goes through the body all
the way down to the legs.
84
00:03:11,358 --> 00:03:12,324
Everybody's doing
spinaroonie's-
85
00:03:12,325 --> 00:03:13,326
All over the country.
86
00:03:13,660 --> 00:03:14,593
You want to see The Rock do
87
00:03:14,594 --> 00:03:15,795
The Rock-aroonie?
88
00:03:18,565 --> 00:03:20,166
I did the spinaroonies-
89
00:03:20,167 --> 00:03:22,068
Everything changed.
90
00:03:22,069 --> 00:03:25,271
It was pretty awesome to see the
effect that it had on not just
91
00:03:25,272 --> 00:03:27,040
those fans, but throughout my
whole career.
92
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:32,946
Upon their debut, Booker T and
his brother Stevie Ray dominated
93
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:36,348
the WCW tag team scene as Harlem
Heat.
94
00:03:36,349 --> 00:03:38,819
With their manager Sister Sherri
by their side,
95
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,154
the duo were undeniable in the
ring.
96
00:03:42,155 --> 00:03:45,024
Harlem Heat is the most
collectively cohesive
97
00:03:45,025 --> 00:03:47,227
unit in professional sports.
98
00:03:47,661 --> 00:03:49,662
And it didn't take long for
them to have the opportunity
99
00:03:49,663 --> 00:03:52,665
at their first tag team
championship against the team
100
00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:54,634
known as Stars and Stripes.
101
00:03:57,537 --> 00:03:58,671
Booker T and Stevie Ray
102
00:03:58,672 --> 00:04:00,272
looking to become
yet another
103
00:04:00,273 --> 00:04:02,542
great brother tag team
to hold the belts.
104
00:04:02,642 --> 00:04:06,278
The most prestigious tag team
award in the sport.
105
00:04:06,279 --> 00:04:09,081
We were pretty good as a tag
team, but we did know that we
106
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:11,550
wanted to be the greatest tag
team
107
00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:13,385
that ever put on
a pair of boots.
108
00:04:13,386 --> 00:04:15,321
The right foot right in the
eye.
109
00:04:15,322 --> 00:04:16,789
What a match we have going on.
110
00:04:16,790 --> 00:04:18,524
Two teams giving it their all.
111
00:04:18,525 --> 00:04:19,625
My brother played his role.
112
00:04:19,626 --> 00:04:20,960
I played my role.
113
00:04:20,961 --> 00:04:23,296
We were a cohesive unit.
114
00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:25,564
Both of us brought the pain in
our own way.
115
00:04:25,565 --> 00:04:27,666
Together we gelled.
116
00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:28,868
We had good chemistry.
117
00:04:28,869 --> 00:04:30,103
People came to see us.
118
00:04:30,203 --> 00:04:31,403
People wanted to see us.
119
00:04:31,404 --> 00:04:33,272
We took pride in that.
120
00:04:33,273 --> 00:04:35,608
The Patriot missed the
clothesline,
121
00:04:35,609 --> 00:04:37,510
so did Stevie Ray.
122
00:04:37,511 --> 00:04:39,479
They both go down.
123
00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:41,448
And I don't think they're the
legal man here.
124
00:04:42,149 --> 00:04:43,315
Come on.
125
00:04:43,316 --> 00:04:44,717
Here's a cover by Booker T.
126
00:04:44,718 --> 00:04:45,619
That's not the legal man.
127
00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:46,152
One.
128
00:04:46,153 --> 00:04:46,785
Two.
129
00:04:46,786 --> 00:04:47,386
Three.
130
00:04:47,387 --> 00:04:47,987
That's good enough.
131
00:04:47,988 --> 00:04:49,722
We've got new champions.
132
00:04:49,723 --> 00:04:51,957
That's one of the matches that
everybody remembers.
133
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:55,661
It really solidified us as
players in the game now.
134
00:04:55,662 --> 00:04:57,464
The World Tag Team
Champions.
135
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:00,432
It was a hell of a night
winning our first
136
00:05:00,433 --> 00:05:01,834
WCW Tag team championships.
137
00:05:01,835 --> 00:05:03,836
They let us know that we were on
the radar,
138
00:05:03,837 --> 00:05:05,871
and let us know we had a
chip in the game.
139
00:05:05,872 --> 00:05:07,907
Straight to the top of WCW.
140
00:05:07,908 --> 00:05:10,709
That's something we always
took pride in, is that we played
141
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:14,281
an intricate part of WCW going
to the next level.
142
00:05:14,781 --> 00:05:17,417
They let us know that that was
the beginning of
143
00:05:17,517 --> 00:05:18,752
something very, very special.
144
00:05:21,621 --> 00:05:24,223
Booker T eventually went on to
have a very successful singles
145
00:05:24,224 --> 00:05:26,825
career in WCW as well.
146
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:30,462
But on March 26th, 2001, World
Championship Wrestling would
147
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:33,432
close its doors for good.
148
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:37,803
I, Vince McMahon, bought my
competition.
149
00:05:37,804 --> 00:05:41,708
That's right, I own WCW.
150
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:45,311
The last Monday Nitro aired
with a special title unification
151
00:05:45,312 --> 00:05:48,247
match between world champion
Scott Steiner,
152
00:05:48,248 --> 00:05:50,817
and the United States Champion
Booker T.
153
00:05:50,917 --> 00:05:53,586
Booker T looked to
end the WCW story
154
00:05:53,587 --> 00:05:56,723
by holding not one but two
championships.
155
00:06:00,393 --> 00:06:03,629
The final telecast of Monday
Nitro on TNT,
156
00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:06,799
a historic day in Sports
Entertainment.
157
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,802
The end of WCW was the end of
an era.
158
00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:12,839
If you were there, you
definitely felt a certain way.
159
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,407
A lot of people backstage,
160
00:06:15,408 --> 00:06:17,309
it was like, "What
the hell's going on?"
161
00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:18,678
It was shocking.
162
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:20,347
We're going out with the bang.
163
00:06:20,447 --> 00:06:21,914
All the titles on the line.
164
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:23,283
Here we go.
165
00:06:23,783 --> 00:06:25,351
That's a match that I remember
vividly-
166
00:06:25,352 --> 00:06:26,753
Like seared in my brain.
167
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,589
Booker T brings into this
match heart and athleticism.
168
00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:31,925
And a Harlem sidekick.
169
00:06:32,792 --> 00:06:34,894
We did the best show that we
could do.
170
00:06:35,328 --> 00:06:36,896
Steiner's got him in his
clutches.
171
00:06:36,997 --> 00:06:39,299
Oh.
172
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:40,266
Scott went out there-
173
00:06:40,267 --> 00:06:41,767
He made me look good.
174
00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:44,270
Booker T, calling to the fans
175
00:06:46,072 --> 00:06:48,475
Put me in a position where
I was making history.
176
00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:51,044
Here he comes.
177
00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:52,946
It was awesome.
178
00:06:53,046 --> 00:06:55,715
The energy in the arena was
fantastic.
179
00:06:56,349 --> 00:06:57,149
Picks him up.
180
00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:58,751
Booker T lands on his feet.
181
00:06:58,752 --> 00:06:59,385
He's got-
182
00:06:59,386 --> 00:07:00,620
Book End.
183
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:02,988
One, two.
184
00:07:02,989 --> 00:07:03,589
Could it be it?
185
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:04,189
Yes it is.
186
00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:05,024
Yes.
187
00:07:05,025 --> 00:07:06,191
Booker T.
188
00:07:06,192 --> 00:07:07,826
He's got two titles.
189
00:07:07,827 --> 00:07:09,195
Give him all the hardware.
190
00:07:09,829 --> 00:07:10,497
It was awesome,
191
00:07:10,597 --> 00:07:11,864
as an African American youth,
192
00:07:11,865 --> 00:07:15,634
watching someone like Booker
do great things.
193
00:07:15,635 --> 00:07:17,670
We wanted to have, you know,
happy happy, joy joy.
194
00:07:17,671 --> 00:07:21,007
last night for the WCW
audience.
195
00:07:21,641 --> 00:07:24,311
It was the right thing to do to
put the championship on him.
196
00:07:24,911 --> 00:07:26,078
I felt really good.
197
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:28,113
I'm the US champ and New World
champ,
198
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:29,983
and I closing the company down.
199
00:07:30,083 --> 00:07:31,017
This is a good night.
200
00:07:35,021 --> 00:07:37,756
While WCW was ultimately
purchased by WWE,
201
00:07:37,757 --> 00:07:43,595
many of WCW's former superstars
began invading WWE programing.
202
00:07:43,596 --> 00:07:46,832
WCW's Dallas Page, DDP.
203
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:47,900
It's Lance Storm.
204
00:07:47,901 --> 00:07:50,202
The WCW wrestler.
205
00:07:50,203 --> 00:07:53,440
Many were anticipating the
arrival of its champion.
206
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:59,946
We are at our main event in
the King of the Ring.
207
00:08:00,046 --> 00:08:02,582
The triple threat match to
determine the richest prize
208
00:08:02,682 --> 00:08:03,750
in the game.
209
00:08:03,850 --> 00:08:05,284
Booker T said
210
00:08:05,285 --> 00:08:08,087
"I want to be a star on the
biggest platform I can."
211
00:08:08,088 --> 00:08:12,024
Booker had enough confidence in
himself to step up and say,
212
00:08:12,025 --> 00:08:13,393
"Put me in."
213
00:08:14,094 --> 00:08:16,296
Wait a minute, what the hell?
214
00:08:17,931 --> 00:08:20,466
That's, that's, that's-
215
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:23,436
Booker T, he's the WCW champion.
216
00:08:24,304 --> 00:08:29,308
The WCW champion has just
attacked the WWE champion.
217
00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:32,511
Coming from WCW and coming
over to WWE,
218
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:34,279
I was ready to go out there and
show those guys
219
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,683
I was just as good
as I said I was.
220
00:08:37,684 --> 00:08:39,084
Oh my God.
221
00:08:39,085 --> 00:08:40,686
A sidewalk slam.
222
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:41,821
Booker T-
223
00:08:41,921 --> 00:08:43,589
Just threw Stone Cold.
224
00:08:43,590 --> 00:08:44,790
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
225
00:08:44,791 --> 00:08:48,394
bounced off the top this table
all the way to the floor,
226
00:08:48,395 --> 00:08:49,461
Bang.
227
00:08:49,462 --> 00:08:51,063
My first thought was-
228
00:08:51,064 --> 00:08:53,833
"What in the F just happened?"
229
00:08:54,167 --> 00:08:55,434
What the hell?
230
00:08:55,435 --> 00:08:58,637
When you take out one of the
top guys in your first day-
231
00:08:58,638 --> 00:09:00,607
makes people look at you a
little bit differently.
232
00:09:01,074 --> 00:09:03,275
Booker T has decimated
233
00:09:03,276 --> 00:09:05,078
the WWE champion.
234
00:09:05,845 --> 00:09:07,079
It was a great night for me.
235
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,415
I was pretty hyped up.
236
00:09:09,582 --> 00:09:11,984
Booker T came through the
crowd
237
00:09:11,985 --> 00:09:13,986
is leaving through the crowd,
238
00:09:13,987 --> 00:09:15,355
but he has done his
damage.
239
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:21,861
Our next moment would lead to
an intense rivalry between
240
00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:25,031
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
and Booker T.
241
00:09:25,265 --> 00:09:26,432
Stone Cold-
242
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:28,367
disguised as a fireman.
243
00:09:28,368 --> 00:09:31,203
And Booker T running for his
life.
244
00:09:31,204 --> 00:09:34,307
As much as Booker T tried to
evade the Texas Rattlesnake,
245
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:36,609
there was nowhere safe to go.
246
00:09:39,546 --> 00:09:40,479
Attention shoppers,
247
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,648
there's cans of whoop
ass on aisle two.
248
00:09:42,649 --> 00:09:44,084
That's aisle two.
249
00:09:46,319 --> 00:09:47,553
Here's a blank canvas
250
00:09:47,554 --> 00:09:50,222
that Booker T and I are going to
have an opportunity
251
00:09:50,223 --> 00:09:51,590
to paint together.
252
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:52,826
Action.
253
00:09:55,995 --> 00:09:57,096
We created magic.
254
00:09:58,198 --> 00:09:58,797
That's Austin.
255
00:09:58,798 --> 00:10:00,200
Austin attacking Booker T.
256
00:10:04,838 --> 00:10:07,973
Two guys lettin' loose in a
grocery store.
257
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:09,107
It was a spectacle.
258
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:11,110
It was a great piece of
entertainment.
259
00:10:12,112 --> 00:10:14,446
As he's beating Booker T up,
he's able to do all the
260
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:16,648
catchphrases for the products
that he's using on him.
261
00:10:16,649 --> 00:10:18,518
Do you have any Grey Poupon?
262
00:10:18,818 --> 00:10:19,585
Huh?
263
00:10:19,586 --> 00:10:21,020
Have some Grey-
264
00:10:22,555 --> 00:10:23,656
Oh, I like to shop
265
00:10:23,756 --> 00:10:26,758
Everything that Steve said was
ad lib.
266
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:29,061
Everything that I said was
ad lib.
267
00:10:29,062 --> 00:10:30,062
Please I won't do it no more.
268
00:10:30,063 --> 00:10:31,797
You look like you could
use a cold one, Book.
269
00:10:31,798 --> 00:10:32,564
Oh God.
270
00:10:32,565 --> 00:10:33,632
Please I won't do it no more.
271
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:34,467
Please.
272
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:37,769
The grocery store stuff with
Steve,
273
00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:39,506
the ability to make an ass of
yourself is an art.
274
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:40,672
He didn't care.
275
00:10:40,673 --> 00:10:41,874
He was all for entertainment.
276
00:10:41,875 --> 00:10:43,276
That's how Booker was.
277
00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:46,346
Booker with a shot to the jaw
of Austin.
278
00:10:46,446 --> 00:10:47,146
Thanks Book.
279
00:10:47,247 --> 00:10:48,447
You got milk.
280
00:10:48,448 --> 00:10:49,882
Oh, got milk.
281
00:10:49,883 --> 00:10:51,483
"Man, we could really get
something out of this."
282
00:10:51,484 --> 00:10:52,751
That's what I'm thinking.
283
00:10:52,752 --> 00:10:54,487
You want to burp?
284
00:10:56,589 --> 00:10:58,223
Something like this with
someone like Booker T,
285
00:10:58,224 --> 00:11:00,826
who embraces the theatrics
and the drama
286
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:04,230
and the shenanigans that go with
it, is all the more fun.
287
00:11:04,631 --> 00:11:06,032
Price check on a jackass.
288
00:11:07,267 --> 00:11:09,201
It was a moment that people
got to remember
289
00:11:09,202 --> 00:11:10,436
for the rest of their lives.
290
00:11:10,937 --> 00:11:11,471
Oh, Imma get you.
291
00:11:15,241 --> 00:11:17,343
When you think of the most
outrageous duos in WWE history,
292
00:11:17,443 --> 00:11:20,312
you have to mention the odd
pairing of Booker T
293
00:11:20,313 --> 00:11:22,681
and the bizarre Goldust.
294
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:24,384
Sucka.
295
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,622
These two formed an unlikely
partnership that led to some
296
00:11:30,623 --> 00:11:33,525
of the most entertaining
moments in WWE history.
297
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:36,529
Tell me, I don't look like
that.
298
00:11:39,933 --> 00:11:42,434
Welcome to the
premiere edition
299
00:11:42,435 --> 00:11:46,672
of Goldust and Booker T
at the movies.
300
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:47,774
What up dawg?
301
00:11:48,441 --> 00:11:50,108
Me and Booker- the odd
couple,
302
00:11:50,109 --> 00:11:52,745
completely opposite, and our
chemistry just clicked.
303
00:11:52,845 --> 00:11:54,846
Man, it was so easy with Booker.
304
00:11:54,847 --> 00:11:56,315
Booker, thank you.
305
00:11:56,316 --> 00:11:57,249
Thank you very much.
306
00:11:57,250 --> 00:11:58,818
The entertainment part-
307
00:11:58,918 --> 00:12:00,552
He was perfect for it.
308
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,688
Man, take that gold crap off.
309
00:12:02,689 --> 00:12:05,190
To me, it was just another
match made in heaven.
310
00:12:05,191 --> 00:12:07,393
It was some of the best stuff
WWE has ever done.
311
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:09,662
But I ain't no Star Wars geek.
312
00:12:09,762 --> 00:12:12,264
I ain't never watched the movie
and never will.
313
00:12:12,265 --> 00:12:13,299
We didn't know how big it was
going to get,
314
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,534
or how much the fans were going
to really buy in,
315
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:17,036
and how much they were
going to love it.
316
00:12:18,271 --> 00:12:20,039
Can you dig it sucka?
317
00:12:21,207 --> 00:12:23,308
The music hit-
318
00:12:23,309 --> 00:12:24,344
Boom.
319
00:12:24,444 --> 00:12:27,012
The place erupted and I was
like, "Holy hell."
320
00:12:27,013 --> 00:12:31,950
The World Tag Team Titles on
the line here at Armageddon.
321
00:12:31,951 --> 00:12:33,385
Everybody's here for the same
thing,
322
00:12:33,386 --> 00:12:35,021
and that is to walk out
323
00:12:35,121 --> 00:12:37,423
the new World Tag Team
Champions.
324
00:12:38,024 --> 00:12:39,992
Booker T and Goldust
325
00:12:39,993 --> 00:12:43,862
perhaps in the eyes of many,
the emotional favorites
326
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:45,632
here tonight.
327
00:12:46,699 --> 00:12:47,767
The Book End
328
00:12:48,034 --> 00:12:50,703
Jericho walked into The Book
End, for the win.
329
00:12:50,803 --> 00:12:51,403
Oh no.
330
00:12:51,404 --> 00:12:52,671
What?
331
00:12:52,672 --> 00:12:54,407
Booker T and Goldust
have done it.
332
00:12:54,874 --> 00:12:57,476
In the beginning it was just a
novelty but at the end,
333
00:12:57,477 --> 00:12:59,711
people felt a certain
way about it.
334
00:12:59,712 --> 00:13:04,617
Everybody in this arena, they
believe in Gol D and Booker T.
335
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:09,921
By 2003, fans were digging
Booker T as he had proven
336
00:13:09,922 --> 00:13:11,823
himself to be one of the most
popular
337
00:13:11,824 --> 00:13:14,126
WWE superstars of the era.
338
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:18,698
I will become the new
Intercontinental Champion.
339
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:24,269
Now can you dig that sucka?
340
00:13:24,270 --> 00:13:26,906
So needless to say, when
Booker challenged the villainous
341
00:13:27,006 --> 00:13:29,108
Christian for the
Intercontinental Championship
342
00:13:29,208 --> 00:13:30,509
on Raw,
343
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:32,645
it was a clear odds on favorite.
344
00:13:35,515 --> 00:13:38,418
I can dig this.
345
00:13:38,518 --> 00:13:40,585
Booker T getting enough
for opportunity
346
00:13:40,586 --> 00:13:42,822
for the Intercontinental
Championship.
347
00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:45,458
That is the workhorse title.
348
00:13:45,558 --> 00:13:48,960
And Christian and Booker T are
both, in my opinion, workhorses,
349
00:13:48,961 --> 00:13:50,663
so I was excited as a fan to
watch them.
350
00:13:51,464 --> 00:13:52,864
And here we go.
351
00:13:52,865 --> 00:13:56,636
The Intercontinental title is
officially on the line.
352
00:13:57,203 --> 00:13:59,004
These men know each other very
well.
353
00:13:59,005 --> 00:14:01,073
They have developed one
hellacious rivalry here.
354
00:14:01,074 --> 00:14:02,007
Look out.
355
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:03,041
I remember just having so much
fun,
356
00:14:03,042 --> 00:14:04,944
and the chemistry
Christian and I had.
357
00:14:05,044 --> 00:14:06,346
It was awesome.
358
00:14:06,446 --> 00:14:09,514
Two guys, who can absolutely
go in the ring.
359
00:14:09,515 --> 00:14:11,017
Oh, no.
360
00:14:11,117 --> 00:14:14,786
Christian and I we had been
working together for some time
361
00:14:14,787 --> 00:14:19,258
and the championship just had
been eluding me and eluding me.
362
00:14:20,493 --> 00:14:21,760
But Booker T-
363
00:14:21,761 --> 00:14:24,262
Oh, doesn't miss
with the Scissors Kick.
364
00:14:24,263 --> 00:14:25,363
That's got to be it.
365
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:26,465
Will it be?
366
00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:27,666
Yes it is.
367
00:14:27,667 --> 00:14:31,604
Booker T, Booker T has done it.
368
00:14:32,638 --> 00:14:34,172
After one, two, three,
369
00:14:34,173 --> 00:14:35,474
crowd erupted.
370
00:14:35,475 --> 00:14:40,480
Finally, Booker T has fought
his way to the mountaintop.
371
00:14:41,114 --> 00:14:43,149
Winning the championship was
really, really cool.
372
00:14:43,249 --> 00:14:44,383
That was the moment.
373
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:46,385
Finally, for the first time
374
00:14:46,386 --> 00:14:50,590
Booker T is the Intercontinental
Champion.
375
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:58,263
The pageantry of the King of
the ring tournament
376
00:14:58,264 --> 00:15:01,032
has been one of the most
celebrated events for decades.
377
00:15:01,033 --> 00:15:06,305
They proclaim ye the King of
the ring.
378
00:15:06,406 --> 00:15:08,874
The 2006 finals took place a
Judgment Day
379
00:15:08,875 --> 00:15:11,676
when Bobby Lashley
battled Booker T,
380
00:15:11,677 --> 00:15:14,279
and while we didn't know who
would be crowned that night,
381
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,684
we never expected the winner to
become such a royal pain.
382
00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:23,856
Superstars compete
in a tournament
383
00:15:23,956 --> 00:15:24,990
with the winner
384
00:15:24,991 --> 00:15:26,793
being crowned the
King of the Ring.
385
00:15:27,994 --> 00:15:30,662
So this is it, the finals and
the King of the Ring tournament,
386
00:15:30,663 --> 00:15:31,429
Bobby Lashley,
387
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:33,265
like the young powerhouse,
388
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:35,368
you look at the guy looks like
a million bucks.
389
00:15:36,102 --> 00:15:37,369
Lashley's feeling it.
390
00:15:37,370 --> 00:15:38,905
Sharmell got his leg.
391
00:15:39,005 --> 00:15:40,372
Come on.
392
00:15:40,373 --> 00:15:41,072
He is gonna, of course,
393
00:15:41,073 --> 00:15:42,974
cheat at some point to win.
394
00:15:42,975 --> 00:15:43,608
What the hell?
395
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:45,510
No way.
396
00:15:45,511 --> 00:15:47,246
All hail King Booker.
397
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:50,081
It wasn't just that he won the
tournament,
398
00:15:50,082 --> 00:15:53,185
it's that he put the crown on
his head,
399
00:15:53,186 --> 00:15:55,555
and he put that single pinky up
in the air.
400
00:15:57,690 --> 00:16:00,959
I'm gonna make sure that this
character is something that
401
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,062
people are going to remember for
the rest of their lives.
402
00:16:04,063 --> 00:16:09,034
All hail King Booker
403
00:16:09,035 --> 00:16:12,238
I don't know why he had an
English accent.
404
00:16:12,872 --> 00:16:15,774
Who is this rogue?
405
00:16:15,775 --> 00:16:18,711
What is this unsightly maiden?
406
00:16:19,512 --> 00:16:21,948
To be able to snap back from my
British accent,
407
00:16:22,048 --> 00:16:24,817
to gettin' really hot,
to talk like a street kid.
408
00:16:24,917 --> 00:16:27,152
Put the damn crown on my dome.
409
00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:30,121
"Put the damn crown on my dome."
410
00:16:30,122 --> 00:16:32,124
He had the ability to pull off
just about anything.
411
00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:34,626
Like one of the most
entertaining characters ever,
412
00:16:34,627 --> 00:16:35,794
King Booker.
413
00:16:35,795 --> 00:16:37,963
I could not have been King
Booker without Queen Sharmell.
414
00:16:37,964 --> 00:16:40,432
She had to play a role and do
the dastardly deeds
415
00:16:40,433 --> 00:16:41,701
she would be there to do it,
416
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:43,069
every time.
417
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:46,271
It's like King Arthur coming
out with Guinevere.
418
00:16:46,272 --> 00:16:49,208
Long live King Booker.
419
00:16:54,046 --> 00:16:55,013
With his pinky held high,
420
00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:57,350
King Booker led a tyrannical
reign
421
00:16:57,450 --> 00:16:58,750
over the SmackDown kingdom.
422
00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:01,720
You will kiss the royal feet
423
00:17:01,721 --> 00:17:05,624
of King Booker.
424
00:17:05,625 --> 00:17:06,324
God.
425
00:17:06,325 --> 00:17:07,525
Oh, man.
426
00:17:07,526 --> 00:17:11,029
But his Majesty sites were set
on more than just a crown.
427
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:14,466
At the Great American Bash 2006,
his Royal Highness promised to
428
00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:19,238
vanquish Rey Mysterio of the
World Heavyweight Championship.
429
00:17:21,274 --> 00:17:23,074
It is a big fight feel
here tonight
430
00:17:23,075 --> 00:17:24,744
in Indianapolis Indiana.
431
00:17:24,844 --> 00:17:26,044
You're in for a beating
tonight, Rey.
432
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:30,048
The champion Rey Mysterio and
the challenger King Booker.
433
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:32,184
This will be one hell of a
matchup.
434
00:17:32,652 --> 00:17:33,819
Working with
Rey Mysterio
435
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,387
who I always considered
436
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:36,589
as my favorite wrestler.
437
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:39,824
I remember going out there
with Booker T
438
00:17:39,825 --> 00:17:40,927
and the chemistry
was just there.
439
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:43,029
Oh, wow.
440
00:17:44,363 --> 00:17:46,197
To me, the guys that are
really great in this business
441
00:17:46,198 --> 00:17:47,799
are guys that can do it all.
442
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,035
It's what to me puts Booker in
the top echelon
443
00:17:50,036 --> 00:17:52,305
is his ability to tear it up.
444
00:17:53,139 --> 00:17:54,272
Royal Book End.
445
00:17:54,273 --> 00:17:54,839
Book End.
446
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,642
The Royal Book End.
447
00:17:58,878 --> 00:18:01,013
King Booker is world champion.
448
00:18:01,781 --> 00:18:03,715
It is the King's time.
449
00:18:03,716 --> 00:18:05,418
That was an incredible match.
450
00:18:05,518 --> 00:18:06,719
Wow.
451
00:18:06,819 --> 00:18:11,589
The only king to ever win that
World Heavyweight Championship.
452
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:13,558
It meant a lot.
453
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:14,827
Long live the king.
454
00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:20,865
It is now time for our number
one moment.
455
00:18:20,866 --> 00:18:24,002
We've spoken about the
impressive resume of Booker T
456
00:18:24,003 --> 00:18:26,171
with as many championship
titles,
457
00:18:26,172 --> 00:18:29,674
but let's go back to the very
first world title.
458
00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:32,210
Booker T was finally granted the
opportunity.
459
00:18:32,211 --> 00:18:34,512
He had waited his entire career
for.
460
00:18:34,513 --> 00:18:37,082
Opportunity has knocked, and I
will be damned
461
00:18:37,083 --> 00:18:38,150
if I don't answer that door.
462
00:18:38,551 --> 00:18:41,319
A World Championship match
against Jeff Jarrett
463
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,057
at WCW's Bash at the Beach 2000.
464
00:18:47,593 --> 00:18:49,761
Opportunity knocks
and Booker T
465
00:18:49,762 --> 00:18:52,664
has stepped through
the open door.
466
00:18:52,665 --> 00:18:54,599
I always wondered if the fans
wanted to see a black champion,
467
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,069
if the fans really wanted to see
me in that position,
468
00:18:58,070 --> 00:19:01,273
or they didn't wanted Jeff
Jarrett to win, I don't know.
469
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:03,174
Look at that agility.
470
00:19:03,175 --> 00:19:04,409
Is he amazing?
471
00:19:04,410 --> 00:19:05,310
A drop kick to boot.
472
00:19:05,311 --> 00:19:06,511
His athletic ability.
473
00:19:06,512 --> 00:19:07,612
He had hops,
474
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:11,984
as we say, scissor kicks and
spinning back kick.
475
00:19:12,952 --> 00:19:15,754
Booker T and Jeff Jarrett
brawling through the crowd,
476
00:19:15,755 --> 00:19:17,756
giving the fans everything they
bargained for,
477
00:19:17,757 --> 00:19:19,124
quite frankly, a little bit
more.
478
00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:21,192
I was like, "Wow, they really
care about me.
479
00:19:21,193 --> 00:19:23,062
They really wanted to see me
win."
480
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:24,629
Booker doesn't see Jarrett.
481
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:25,463
He caught him.
482
00:19:25,464 --> 00:19:26,164
Yes.
483
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:28,600
Book End.
484
00:19:28,601 --> 00:19:29,601
There's the referee at two.
485
00:19:29,602 --> 00:19:30,168
Three.
486
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:30,935
Yes.
487
00:19:30,936 --> 00:19:31,469
Yes.
488
00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:32,003
It's over.
489
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:32,871
Oh my God
490
00:19:32,872 --> 00:19:35,174
Booker T's the world champion.
491
00:19:35,608 --> 00:19:39,677
It's very, very important to
see people who look like you
492
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:43,349
doing great things, because it
just gives you a visual
493
00:19:43,449 --> 00:19:46,785
confirmation and affirmation
that you too can do it
494
00:19:46,786 --> 00:19:48,553
because you've seen it done.
495
00:19:48,554 --> 00:19:50,989
If Booker T can do this,
so can I.
496
00:19:50,990 --> 00:19:53,825
Anybody who knows Booker T
behind the scenes like we do
497
00:19:53,826 --> 00:19:56,429
knows that he is a man deserving
of this moment.
498
00:19:57,229 --> 00:20:00,165
It's one of my most fond
memories in my career.
499
00:20:00,166 --> 00:20:02,834
I'm the guy that Booker beat,
become the world champion for
500
00:20:02,835 --> 00:20:04,369
his very first time.
501
00:20:04,370 --> 00:20:05,870
And I'm pretty proud of that.
502
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:08,573
It's every young man's dream
to be the champion.
503
00:20:08,574 --> 00:20:11,410
And on this night, Booker T
earned it.
504
00:20:11,944 --> 00:20:12,877
I was a part of it.
505
00:20:12,878 --> 00:20:14,879
And I'm definitely happy to have
been part of it.
506
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,283
It was a moment that changed my
life.
507
00:20:18,718 --> 00:20:20,552
Booker T is the literal
embodiment
508
00:20:20,553 --> 00:20:22,320
of hard work paying off.
509
00:20:22,321 --> 00:20:26,392
Which garnered him Hall of Fame
status not once, but twice.
510
00:20:27,827 --> 00:20:30,829
That'll do it for this edition
of WWE's Greatest Moments.
511
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:33,465
I hope you've enjoyed this look
back at the greatest moments
512
00:20:33,466 --> 00:20:36,634
from the legendary Booker T.
513
00:20:36,635 --> 00:20:39,505
Now can you dig that sucka?
