I'll always love XIX because that's right around when I started watching, and the first full WM I'd ever seen.
Everything was perfect about it except for two things; Booker shoulda went over Hunter. The whole feud was based on HHH being better because he was powerful/white while Booker was black/in prison before. So to make it look like Booker overcame his past/barriers it would only make sense to have him go over. By HHH winning, they were essentially conveying that everything he said about Booker was right, which is a little racist when you think about it.
And also it was probably the worst Undertaker WM opponent(s) of all time. Show/A-train? Really?
But yes outside of that it was an amazing show, build for all the major matches was amazing. Michaels/Jericho match and build up is one of my favorite of all time

I respect everyone's view, but that's taking it to a whole new level when someone is worse than Giant Gonzalez.

After HHH had gone through RVD, Kane, HBK, and Steiner since being handed the world title, Booker was the one guy left at the time that HHH hadn't squashed and who fans saw as a potential top face. While HHH was ruining the credibility of the other guys mentioned (except for HBK), Booker spent all of 2002 building himself back up after the WWE botched his character during the Invasion angle. By January 2003, Booker was the most over face on Raw, even more than Steiner. It made sense to put Booker w/ HHH at the time. What didn't make sense was having him job to Hunter, especially after the feud was turned into a tasteless racist angle. How exactly was Triple H ruining the credibility of RVD, Kane, & Steiner?
