Booker T Reveals The Crowning Moment Of His Career: I Wouldn't Change It For Anything
Booker T has very fond memories of his run as 'King Bookah' in WWE. The King Booker character was created after Booker won the 2006 King Of The Ring tournament. The gimmick was comedic in tone, but Booker ultimately pulled off what he calls his 'crowning moment' in WWE during this run. Advertisement Booker appeared on the Club 520 Podcast at WWE World and mentioned being very popular around the time of his match at WrestleMania 19 against Triple H. He mentioned being even more over as King Bookah a few years later and highlighted how much winning a World Championship under the WWE banner meant to him. Booker T believes his King Booker run outshined WrestleMania 19 'At WrestleMania 19 against Hunter [Triple H], you said I was over. I should have won. Sh*t… in 2006, I was way more over then, bro. King Booker, King Booker—I mean, come on, I mean the greatest king of them all, the most revered king of them all. You know what, man, that was some of the best times, the best time in my wrestling career, with my lovely queen, Sharmell, at my side. She actually won Miss Black America in Indianapolis, Indiana, as well. That was a moment for us, man. Rey Mysterio, I give him big props, man, because what a worker. What a worker, man. I couldn't have done it without him. But that moment, that was my crowning moment. 'That was the moment for me that really put the icing on the cake as far as my career goes. You know, I don't know if you guys know the stats or anything like that, but out of the history and the annals of time, as far as the King of the Ring tournament, I'm the only king to ever win the [WWE] Heavyweight Championship. I'm the only one. And that wasn't by accident or anything like that; that was by design. I said after King Booker, they're gonna have to break the damn mold because there'll never be another King like me ever again. And I proved that. I proved that. So, no, man, it was a great time in my career. I wouldn't change it for anything.'

Ex-NBA Guard Sends New York Knicks Warning After Game 5
Ex-NBA Guard Sends New York Knicks Warning After Game 5 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks managed to keep their NBA Title hopes alive by defeating the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Advertisement The Knicks still trail Indiana 3-2, but live to play another game as the series shifts back to Indianapolis for Game 6, where the Knicks will have to fend off elimination once again. New York seemingly did everything right, particularly on the defensive end of the court. They held Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton to a combined 23 points on 7-of-20 shooting. © Brad Penner-Imagn Images Ex-NBA guard sends New York Knicks warning The Pacers had chances to climb back into the game, cutting the Knicks' lead to single digits twice. But every time it felt as though momentum was shifting, the Knicks would make a big shot or get a key turnover to keep things going their way. Advertisement Former NBA guard Jay Williams was particularly impressed with the Knicks and is feeling optimistic about their chances of coming back to win the series. "That team that we saw last night, ... is not only the reason why they have a chance to win this series, but that gives them a fighting shot against OKC," Williams said. "I will still have OKC favored, but if that [Knicks] team shows up, that will give them their best odds to compete for a World Championship." While Williams may be putting the cart before the horse, the Knicks' performance was impressive. They made Tyrese Haliburton incredibly uncomfortable, picking him up the length of the floor. While Haliburton didn't have a turnover, the Knicks forced the rest of the Pacers into 20 of them. Advertisement If the Knicks can win Game 6 in Indianapolis, the odds would likely be in their favor for winning Game 7. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.
