Halloween Havoc October 29th, 1995 Hosts: Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan
After weeks of anticipation and promos and a Monster Truck "match" on the previous Nitro (instead of at the PPV) where Hogan would win it, Hulk Hogan would mark his final match in WCW for the year till he returns at SuperBrawl VI as part of a big PPV return to sell that PPV. The Giant (w/Flair) def. Hulk Hogan (c) via pinfall to become the NEW WCW World Heavyweight Champion. ![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a9/81/d9/a981d987c5339dbc5e6fc54420102d8b.jpg) The match went on almost as it originally did (since he's not part of the Dungeon of Doom and the stupid DQ rule is cut out) at the PPV with the exception that Hulk Hogan loses with the Giant getting in a chokeslam, Hulk kicked out and does the Hulk-up three punch, but Flair interferes and the Giant lands the chokeslam a second time for the win. The Giant celebrates with Ric Flair and Hulk is taken out by Jimmy Hart limping to the back. END OF PART 10.
This was simply a fix up of Hulk Hogan's initial run in WCW. The Aftermath:World War 3 Hogan was hinted to show up but doesn't. Randy Savage wins a shot at the WCW title at Starrcade 95. The Giant defeated Sting via DQ that night. At Starrcade the Giant defeats Randy Savage. At Superbrawl VI Hulk Hogan makes a much hyped big in-ring return at the PPV (although he shows up on Nitro for multiple promos each week and to build up to it) where he defeats the Giant clean to become the three-time WCW World Champion. Hulk defeats The Giant for the title at Uncensored. Hulk gets "injured" on Nitro by the Giant, forcing WCW to strip him of the title. At Slamboree Ric Flair who turns babyface defeats the Giant for the vacant WCW World title. Flair defs. Lex Luger at GAB '96. Hulk Hogan returns at Bash at the Beach to join the nWo.

11. Booker T as WWE World Champion 2003
![](https://uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/triple-h-booker-grid-uproxx.jpg) In 2003, in the early days of the Ruthless Aggression era, Booker T would become one of the biggest babyfaces in the WWE and destiny was at hand when he would be facing Triple H at Wrestlemania 19. Despite a hot racism angle as part of the feud, legend has it that Booker T was SUPPOSED to win the big gold belt, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. However Triple H and Stephanie's politics in the back buried the idea giving Triple H the win instead. What if Vince went ahead with the original idea and Booker T won the World Heavyweight title at Wrestlemania 19? How would it play out? Stay tuned as we begin with the hot feud leading to Wrestlemania 19...

WWE RAW March 3rd, 2003 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler
Booker T opens RAW: This is the infamous promo of Triple H on Booker T where phrases like "Somebody like you doesn't get to be a world champion. People like you don't deserve it", "it's reserved for people like me", "You're here to make people like me laugh," and "nappy hair" were uttered. Booker T def. Scott Steiner via pinfall. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jNX2zyQ8x0M/hqdefault.jpg) It was hinted that Triple H might be getting involved, but he only watched the match in the back with Ric Flair and got angry when Booker won the match. Steiner had catched a kick and landed a belly-to-belly, working as a heel here. Steiner decides to do pushups in the ring and Booker does a spinarooni, and in the back Triple H laughs saying "see he's an entertainer and nothing more". Booker T lands his scissors kick and gets in the Book End for the pin and win.

WWE RAW March 10th, 2003 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry LawlerRAW opens with the announcement that the Rock challenges Booker T to a match tonight and if the Rock wins he will be facing Triple H at Wrestlemania 19. Note: This was originally announced and it didn't happen that night because rumour has it that the Rock refused to do it because he found out that Booker wasn't going over at Wrestlemania.
Booker T comes out talking about his match later tonight against the Rock. Booker: The Rock wants another shot against Triple H by facing me tonight? Why? Who really knows here I thought.... standing here in the ring he wanted Stone Cold Steve Austin? What does it matter because the Rock is a Hollywood actor and let me guess that's probably the reason Eric Bischoff gave him the match to begin with? Still I'll face him tonight and...(Ric Flair comes out) Flair: (laughs) O Book, you gotta admit look although I really don't believe you can beat the Rock tonight, I mean you got lucky last week with Steiner, it was a real fluke. But face it Booker you shouldn't be in a main event like Wrestlemania. Look if you think that I've got something with "people like you", you're mistaken. I mean I respect Michael Jordan, I respect Tiger Woods, they're great athletes but Booker you're an entertainer, in so many ways you're like a character from one of those old Disney cartoons (laughs) Booker: What did you say? What did you just say? Flair: Hey now I meant you're an entertainer, if you think this is about o come on Book you know me...but I mean come on "you people" should probably leave the wrestling business all together, but sometimes you got to have an entertainer that's just the way it is and after Wrestlemania you can work as Triple H's driver and carry his bags everywhere... Booker: You people? What do you mean You People? Flair: You're an entertainer, o come on I don't mean what you think I mean... ![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7BHqQil34i8/T5GqRY6GPsI/AAAAAAAAHbM/X8B7E2ui4KU/s1600/triple-h-pedigree-picture.jpg) Suddenly from behind Triple H runs out and attacks Booker! Triple H gets in a massive pedigree! And leaves with Flair as they laugh it off. Later Backstage the Rock confronts Ric Flair who was getting a cup of coffee. Rock: I heard what you said out there. Flair: (laughs) what are you talking about Rock? Rock: You said...You people? You know exactly know what I'm talking about. Flair: O I'm like the most tolerant guy there is, you make it sound like I said the N word, give me a break.. The Rock spills Flair's coffee over his crapand Flair starts shouting at how hot it was. Even though Rock's a heel he was cheered for it. Rock: There have your break you piece of monkey trash. Booker T vs. The Rock for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 19![](https://smirfittsspeech.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/d2edbbbe-600c-4f9d-840a-37cb36616d8f.jpeg?w=584) Booker T is weakened from the massive pedigree he got earlier in the night. The Rock gets the early advantage, Booker counters a Rock Bottom attempt and lands a belly-to-belly and he goes to the top rope for a big diving clothesline. Triple H comes out to watch. Booker goes gets in his scissors kick and does the spinarooni. Triple H points and laughs. Book hits the ropes but the Rock gets in a Rock Bottom. Triple H looks concerned and decides to enter the ring to beat up on Booker T. Winner: Booker T via DQJR believes that it obviously hit Triple H that he would've faced the Rock instead of Booker and proves his ego is bigger than ever. The Rock gets angry as Triple H beats down on Booker that he gets in a Rock Bottom on Triple H as he leaves. Booker celebrates his win as Triple H rolls to the outside.

WWE RAW March 17th, 2003 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler
JR mentions that tonight Booker T will be taking on Ric Flair. Triple H and Flair open RAW. Triple H: I know what you're all thinking I screwed the Rock last week, because let's face it I'm a little too exhausted to wrestle a Rock, or a Stone Cold or heck even a Hulk Hogan it's time to take it easy for a change. I rather have a two minute match and pedigree that nappy haired entertainer Booker T than go the distance at Wrestlemania I mean that's the night of a big pay day, it'll be the same no matter who I face. But I'm not out here to talk about that, I'm out here to talk about the false accusasions against me and Ric Flair. I mean how dare you all think that way about us, we're some of the most tolerant people out here. In fact I've got "friends" who are black, ya there I said it, we know a lot of African-Americans. So it's appalling for you to all think of us this way. Flair: That's right Triple H, my doctor is black, my lawyer is well Jewish, but that doesn't mean I'm what you think I am (laughs) so we wanted to make it clear out here tonight. And to even make it clearer, we want to bring in our friend Maven. Maven comes out.Triple H: Maven and I had a great match last week, that I had to come out here and shake his hand because at least he is a competitor unlike Booker T (shakes Maven's hand). So my African-American friend... Maven: Well my father is African American and I'm also Argentinian... Triple H: Right right is that like in Africa or something... Maven: No South America... Triple H: Ah you're from the south, Maven I got a lot of respect for you so tell everyone how we're good friends. Maven: Umm ya I...we're friends ya sure why not. Flair: That's right you can go to the back. Maven: So will we go out for drinks or something... Flair: What? I can't seem to hear you just leave this is Triple H's time (Maven leave) Triple H: So there you go we aren't what you claim we are thank you. So Booker T, Wrestlemania is just two weeks away, you must be sweating, you must be in tears because when you face the game, you'll be having nightmares forever. After a commercial break Maven is leaving for the ring and asks Ric Flair if he would join him out there as a friend, Flair says he can't hear him and ignores him. Later backstage Booker T is in the locker room getting his boots ready for his match with Flair tonight. In comes Mark Henry. Mark: Can you believe what they were talking about back there brother. Booker: I'm not going to let it bother me. Mark: I got your back. Booker: I'm good Mark Henry, no worries I've got this. Booker T fought Ric Flair to a No Contest. Booker gave Flair a big beating and wouldn't stop punching him into a corner till Triple H asked to stop the match as he brings with him some papers. Flair rolls to the outside hurt. Triple H: Stop the damn match because this isn't going to work (laughs) it looks like at Wrestlemania I'm going to get paid big money and not even perform (Booker stares angrily) you see I've got information here about Booker T that is going to shock the world. Here, get this get this (laughs) this is so stereotypical (laughs), Booker T you never graduated from high school. Next get this Booker you were a convicted felon! And get this he stole from a Wendy's (holds his guts laughing) I mean did you tell the WWE that you were a conficted felon? Because based on this application courtesy of Eric Bischoff I have here you never did. So it looks like Book, you're done for. ![](https://cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2015/03/booker-t-triple-h-wrestlemania-600x338.jpg) Booker T snaps and starts punching out Triple H! Book lands a big scissors kick and the Book End for Flair to roll Triple H on the outside as Booker T tears all the papers apart.

WWE RAW March 24th, 2003 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler
JR reveals that Triple H and Ric Flair issued a restraining order against the "convict" Booker T till Wrestlemania 19. Triple H and Flair arrive in the arena. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SwgS0qiAKys/maxresdefault.jpg) Booker T shows up to confront Hunter till WWE officials tell him not to approach Triple H. Triple H stares at Booker and laughs at him as Booker T is forced to walk away. Booker T comes out to explain himself. Booker: Look I know to some of you it comes to a shock about what was revealed last week, I mean to some of these kids out here I see saying that I am a five time five time five time five time Champion, I may have disappointed them. Truth is I had it hard growing up, I lost both my parents when I was thirteen, I was the youngest of eight kids, Sister T and my older brother Stevie Ray raised me, in a sense they acted as mom and dad of the family. As rough as I had it I made mistakes in my life, mistakes that none of you should be making but as I entered sports entertainment I trained and struggled hard to get here. For years I worked in WCW and now the WWE for this chance, this moment at Wrestlemania 19, when I can become the World Heavyweight Champion at the biggest stage of them all which is a dream come true for me. Eric Bischoff comes out on stage. Bischoff: It's such a great story you got there Book. Now you and I go way back, which is why I'm being lenient with you, but it's true what Triple H said that you lied when you signed with the WWE when you declared you were never convicted of a crime. Since Wrestlemania is this Sunday, I've thought long and hard about this and have made a decision, we will overlook this only if you could beat Triple H and win the World Heavyweight Championship. Otherwise, in the words of Vince McMahon, you're fired. Booker looks concerned.
Later backstage Dawn Marie is flirting with Booker T and gives him a peck on his cheek telling him it's for good luck at Wrestlemania. Later, Triple H approaches Dawn Marie and asks why she was talking to Booker T the convict. He says he's concerned and that it's better to stick with "your own" than with "people like him". Dawn asks Triple H if he meant it's because Booker is black. Triple H says what does him being black have anything to do with it, and that it's because Booker is a "criminal thug" and criminals belong in jail not out here. Triple H (c) (w/Flair) def. Goldust via pinfall. Booker T was watching the match in the back disappointed that he can't approach Triple H. Booker T is getting ready for his next match as he starts to walk towards the entrance backstage and as Triple H and Flair get back they once again meet. Booker tells Triple H off, Triple H laughs till he and Flair start beating down on Booker! Triple H drags Booker to the ring ramming him wherever he can. Booker is in the ring as Triple H goes for a pedigree but Booker flips him over and hits the rope for a scissors kick. ![](https://mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com/w:382/h:286/q:90/https://www.bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/BOokerT-600x450-600x450.png) Flair jumps in the ring and clotheslines Booker and gets in the figure-four leg lock! Triple H is up as he starts kicking down Booker. WWE Officials try to stop them but Triple H continues the assault and gets on the mic. Triple H: You criminal thugs don't belong in the WWE (Flair let's go) you think you can get in a cheap shot like you did last week, I am the game! And this Sunday you're career is over.

Last night was the greatest night of my life, and I can't be any more happier. The truth is... On screen Triple H is at a restaurant. Triple H: O hey Booker T while you were celebrating last night on your fluke of a win, which we all know it was a fluke, I was doing a little celebrating of my own. Booker T, you never told me how hot Sister T was? It's funny you never told her about me? How kind of you all she know is I'm a competitor. O the stories she'll share about you. And what is it that you said about her? That she was like a mother to you? So what would that make you to me if I date her? (laughs) Or better yet maybe you'll call me dad (laughs) Sister T (an attractive actress playing his sister) shows up at the table and sits by Triple H. Booker: No No! Triple H: O hey Book ummm see ya...(to Sister T) o yes you should try the drinks here it's great. Booker T is upset and runs to the back. Booker T is booked in for a match with Chris Jericho tonight.

Flair tells him that he's got no beef with Book and that the Game wasn't happy with what happened last night and that he has no idea where Triple H is. He says that Hunter fled the Arena without him and even wants to apologize to Book with the way he has been acting. Booker: O you want to apologize now? Flair: Look I said some things I didn't mean alright, I got carried away and it looked like it came out the wrong way. Booker: Everything you said was wrong. Flair: Come on it's not like I said the N word. Booker: You didn't have too. Flair: (has his hand out) Let's make peace what do you say.

WWE RAW April 7th, 2003 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler
Shawn Michaels opens RAW in the ring. Shawn: You're all wondering why did I give a sweet chin music to call it a night for Booker T last week. He must still be asleep nice and comfortable because that was one heck of a superkick. You see as much as I hate Triple H, there was one thing he said that was right. You see I got nothing against anyone regardless of ethnicity, you work hard you pay your dues you can make it to the top. But what I do got against is a convicted felon like Booker T, someone who was the last WCW World Champion when that company went down the drain, a guy who like many WCW stars tried to put the WWE out of business. Sure Ric Flair can be the exception, he's also a WWE guy if you think about it, while Booker has never been in the WWE ever till now, but think about this, Booker lied to get into the wrestling business and he became the World Heavyweight Champion. In a just world, a man like Triple H or myself should walk out as a Champion at the grandest stage of them all. But not Booker T. Booker T is the enemy. He is my...enemy. Booker T: (shows up on stage) I got nothing against you Shawn Michaels, you've had one heck of a career, but what you did man was unforgivable. If you wanted a title shot you could've asked... Shawn: No what I want is anyone, anyone at all to take that title away from you even if it means Triple H has to get it back. Booker T: You don't have to do this Shawn, you don't have to put yourself with the likes of someone you hate. Shawn: Sometimes an enemy of my enemy is a friend, and that's what it is with you Book you're my enemy and you're enemy is Triple H it has to be. I'm not going to challenge you for the title...yet...but know this I will do whatever it takes to make sure you don't stay champion. Backstage Flair and Shawn shake hands and Flair offers his expertise and Shawn says he would be honoured. ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ejVbTeSZLv8/maxresdefault.jpg) Backstage Booker T approches Bischoff and demands a match with Shawn. Instead he sets up a Tag match tonight with Ric Flair and Shawn taking on Booker T and Jericho. Triple H arrives to the building and Coach approaches him asking him if he has made amends with Shawn Michaels. Triple H: Shawn knows I hate him, but if he wants to be an ally in this, to get that strap away from Booker T, well he and I are on better terms. But tonight I've got a meeting with Bischoff in his office, I've got a rematch clause and I want it for Backlash. Booker T (c) & Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels & Ric Flair in a Tag matchBooker T tries to get Shawn in the ring but each time he does Shawn avoids it and makes a tag to Flair. Finally later in the match, Jericho makes a desperate tag as Shawn was on the mat. Booker jumps in and finally lands a few rights and lefts and lands a scissors kick and does the spinarooni till Triple H runs out and kicks down Booker and lands a pedigree for the DQ Winner: Booker T and Jericho via DQ![](https://www.wrestlingmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Shawn-Michaels-and-Triple-H-Shake-Hand-In-Ring.jpg) Shawn and Triple H meet face to face after clearing the ring. They're about to get into an argument till Flair gets in their way and forces them both to shake hands as Booker watches at the stage as to what's happening for RAW to go off air.

WWE RAW April 14th, 2003 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler
Triple H opens RAW and gets in the ring with Ric Flair. Triple H: I have been absolutely exhausted because Sister T has been keeping me up every night for almost two weeks, I mean who knew she had that much stamina till finally well I just kinda got bored of her. I mean when you think about it she started to look more like Booker T and that just made me sick to my stomach. Booker T, I've got my rematch at Backlash, and I will...look into my eyes Booker T (looks at the camera) I will...once again become the World Heavyweight Champion. Bischoff: (comes out on stage) Not so fast Triple H, I mean we all know you want the title back, and although I have another No. 1 contender in mind you used your rematch clause. So tonight you've got another thing coming, you're going to be stepping in the ring with Booker T and Chris Jericho with a partner of your choosing. Triple H: I've got no problem handling those two because I know I can beat them both all on my own but since you're giving me a tag team partner, I know who I'll pick (Flair looks thrilled), I'll pick my nemesis...Shawn Michaels. Booker T is in the back talking to Jericho about their match tonight. Jericho says he's more than ready. Later on Jericho is by himself in the locker room till Shawn out of nowhere superkicks Jericho unto a wall that breaks apart! Jericho is out of it. Booker T finds out about Jericho being hospitalized and he enters Bischoff's office. Eric tells him that he'll need to find a tag team partner or he'll turn it into a handicap match. Booker doesn't look happy as he leaves. Later Mark Henry approaches Booker and asks him if he wants help because he's sick and tired of Triple H and his clear bigotry. Booker says he'll be happy to have him and that he has a surprise for Triple H and Shawn tonight, a surprise of an old friend from WCW who is making his return tonight to watch there backs. Booker T (c) & Mark Henry vs. Triple H & Shawn Michaels (w/Flair) in a Tag team match![](https://gmsrp.cachefly.net/images/19/06/12/2c3737e02ecd8863d4d4ab637a2ae819/960.jpg) Triple H and Shawn make there own separate entrances in what JR emphasizes that they're in a "truce" and an "alliance" but that they might not work well together. Booker comes out with Henry. Henry is in the ring and goes after Triple H viciously that Triple H leaves the ring humiliated. He gets back in and tags Shawn. Shawn gets the upperhand on Henry till the tag is made and Booker gets a few shots in till Shawn tags in Triple H.

Triple H: Will you look at this, the Kliq...is back (gets alot of heat). Shawn and I have made up and what did Booker T think, that Kevin Nash was going to remember the good old WCW days and help him out? Kevin Nash is one of us you "nappy haired" moron. So Booker, Backlash is this Sunday, and the Kliq have my back, who has your back? No one, or maybe you can go back to the "hood" where you came from, and find a few of your "gangsta" friends who would rob a fast food joint of all places, what robbing a bank was too hard for you Booker T? To be honest I wish you did because this way you wouldn't embarass the WWE with your lies and stealing the World Heavyweight Championship belt from me. Nash: Hey Book, sure we had our days in WCW, but I would never betray the Kliq. Everyone knows we're the most influential force in the history of the WWE and WCW. Do we play politics? You bet. Do we bury guys? We... Shawn: Hey hey now Kev, let's not go that far. I mean I think everyone out here know about the Kliq, but at Backlash, the Two Dudes with Attitudes are back to face Chris Jericho and Mark Henry, you're so called friends Book.

Booker T: I gotta say something to Kevin Nash right now, hey sucka, what you pulled...(shakes his head) I can't even begin to think about what I'm going do to you tonight. I invited you into my home man when you had no one, I had you over for thanksgiving not as a charity case but as a good friend because I know you had some hard times more recently with your injury and all that, but maybe you just don't know anything about hard times ahhhh...to be honest I still have Triple H on my mind and what he did to Sister T. Used her and dumped her like she was nothing. Ahhhh (starts throwing things around). The Kliq eh...calls me a thug a criminal eh...we'll see about that ya we'll see (leaves talking to himself).

WWE RAW April 28th, 2003 Hosts: Jonathan Coachman and Jerry LawlerThey mention that Christian will be taking on Booker T for the World title tonight. Triple H and Flair are going to be in a tag match for the Tag titles. Backstage Shawn Michaels enters the arena with Nash and gets in the ring. Shawn: Last night Booker T, you got away with the gold using tactics "you people" are so accustomed too. This morning the newspapers and WWE shareholders are concerned about a criminal thug as World Champion. The Kliq is here to save the WWE, not ruin it. Since Triple H failed to regain the title, I'm putting up the challenge Book, I challenge you for the World Heavyweight Championship, one on one and I'll prove to you why you're the worst thing that ever happened in the WWE. Booker T shows up and gets in the ring. Booker: You know Shawn, there was a time that I had respect for you as a competitor. Years ago when we were battling it out in the Monday Night Wars, you tried to hold your ground, but from what I remember you were the worst thing that happened in the WWE and the dirt sheets spread the gossip on how much of a mess you were. You tried to bury everyone in your sight, and remember you were involved in the Montreal Screwjob... Shawn: And I have never respected you...that belt around your waist is a disgrace to professional wrestling. A disgrace to all the greats from Buddy Rogers, Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and yes I got to admit even Bret Hart. Let's be honest here for a minute before you start playing the race card because you label the Kliq as a racist group which is not true. African Americans have never really had success in the WWE have they? How many times have they tried and failed? I mean sure you're the first one besides the Rock who has ever held a World title, but let's be honest, when the cameras are rolling, and the folks at home are channel surfing, they don't want to come home from a hard day's of work grabbin a six pack from the fridge to watch someone like you as the face of the WWE. The ratings for RAW are going down compared to Smackdown which is going up and if this was the Monday Night Wars, WWE would go out of business (laughs) I mean didn't WCW go out of business when Booker T was champion? (laughs Booker T: This belt is proof this isn't about race, but about hard work no matter who you are, but you keep bring it up. Why do you keep bringing it up Shawn? I ain't starting anything...I got no beef with anyone man.... Shawn: I ain't afraid of you Book and if you want to make it about race "you" took basketball (Booker shakes his head), "you" took golf of all the sports in the world, but Sports Entertainment just isn't for you. Booker T: Tell me you didn't just saying that! Shawn: What are you going to do about it? Booker T knocks out Shawn! Nash attacks Book and holds him for Shawn to land a sweet chin music to a lot of heat that fans start throwing trash in the ring. Later backstage Shawn refuses to apologize when Bischoff asks him too because what he said was insensitive. Shawn says that Kliq doesn't have to answer to a former WCW loser. Bischoff says he's the boss, Shawn says no he isn't because Vince McMahon is the higher up and he's close with Vince. Booker T (c) def. Christian via pinfall to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. Booker snapped during the match and landed two Book Ends. Christian barely could get back up till Book lands the scissors kick for the win. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/Dat_pkJj3bZ0mIwCN9cyXQAPS3I6bgfZHozInC2RFmMatBYitAdgbJl9wZnNYX4CIsBCrXqPxEzAYk5tIttwOCXV1yYcK5_CLBwPXODxT8pU8Gd8mBpWJhoRLw) Backstage as Booker heads to the back after his win Vince McMahon appears. Vince says he was in a very important meeting but heard what Shawn said. Vince: On behalf of the WWE I want to apologize. We have a zero tolerance policy on discrimination. Booker: Apologize? The Kliq shouldn't even have a say anymore. Vince: Look now, the Kliq are some of the biggest stars in the history of the WWE, but... Booker: I get it...I know what it's like...all I want is Shawn so I can make it judgement day for him. Vince: Well you'll face him one on one for the title at Judgement Day on May 18th. Booker: Thank you sir I appreciate it. Vince: Alright then it's settled give me some of that Vince does a fist bump and leaves with a strut as Book looks at him eyes wide open. Coach wonders isn't this what Shawn wanted in the first place a title shot, and maybe the Kliq really gets what it wants.

Linda McMahon makes a statement to open RAW. She talks about how the Kliq's bigotry is ruining the WWE. She says that the WWE has a zero-tolerance for this and to take action and to keep the Kliq under control, the WWE has no choice but to bring in a new General Manager. ![](https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_16_9_s/public/2018/12/20030120_bischoff--7e013f45808205e434a444c75c6f8ad3.jpg) Bischoff comes out and says that he has things under control and that he would never let the Kliq say the hurtful things they've said about Booker T and African Americans.

Austin: I got something to say to you, you and I have had our fairshare of battles but that's all in the past, but what the Kliq has been saying to you is wrong, I apologize on behalf of every white man women and child for the bs they've said. Booker T: You don't have to apologize Austin, you don't I don't expect any one white black or anyone to apologize on behalf of anyone, but do I appreciate you coming out here to do so. Austin: How humble of you. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'm going to make it hell for the Kliq from now on because I remember what it was like for those pieces of trash playing politics in the back, but a new General Manager is in town because tonight Booker T you get to choose three partners of your own to face off against the whole Kliq in an eight-man-tag match (fans cheer). And after that we'll have the biggest beer bash in history. Backstage the Kliq are watching on TV all angry. Backstage Booker T tries to find some partners for tonight's match. Chris Jericho shows up and tells Booker T he has his back. Later Christian comes to Booker T and says he wants to help. Book finds Scott Steiner and he agrees to joining him. Booker T (c), Jericho, Steiner, and Christian vs. The Kliq (Shawn, HHH, Nash & Flair) in an eight-man Tag. Booker managed to get the Book End on Flair but didn't get the pinfall as he was interrupted. Later Booker T lands a scissors kick on Nash, but all hell breaks loose. Winner: No Contest![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_O89Y0VwdPs/maxresdefault.jpg) Booker T's team are thrown on the outside till Austin rides in a beer truck and starts showering the Kliq with beer! At the end of RAW, Austin and Booker T toast and drink.

WWE RAW May 19th, 2003 Hosts: Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler
Goldberg is announced as the No. 1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship and is set to face Booker T tonight. Booker T meets with Goldberg backstage and they talk about the old days. Goldberg says that he's going to have a new undefeated streak in the WWE. Booker says he's one of the few who has beaten Goldberg in the past. Goldberg says that was WCW, this is WWE and tonight he's going to walk out the new champion. Booker T (c) vs. Goldberg for the World Heavyweight Championship
![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KBM2I7WzxYI/maxresdefault.jpg) Goldberg gets in the ring followed by Booker T and as soon as the bell rings Goldberg spears Booker T in the middle of the ring. Goldberg gets in the jackhammer and lands it for the pin and win. Winner: Goldberg via pinfall to become the NEW World Heavyweight Champion
Goldberg says "Who's Next?". Booker T is upset and shocked at the loss, they both end up shaking hands to show sportsmanship. END OF PART 11This was short, but straight to the point. Booker T should've originally won the title at WM19, however it would've likely had been a short reign if it was originally thought of. Here he defeats Triple H twice, and beats Shawn Michaels, two big wins. But with Goldberg on RAW and in the WWE as the top star now, making a surprise win is something the WWE probably would've booked in and hence did it here. The Aftermath: Goldberg went on holding the strap till Survivor Series beating the likes of Triple H, Shawn, the Undertaker, and Booker T (in a rematch at Insurrextion) till Survivor Series when Triple H once again challenges Goldberg and Goldberg loses the strap in a "screwjob" when Shane McMahon returns and helps Triple H get the title off of Goldberg. Booker T competes for the IC title winning it off of Christian at SummerSlam. Would regain the title in 2005 as King Booker.
