DID BOOKER T DESTROY HIS LEGACY IN TNA? 

Let me know what you would say is Booker T's legacy in wrestling?

Booker T doing his own commentary while beating up jobbers will always be legendary 🤣🤣

Booker T calling his moves while he beating up people is legendary. Maybe for the wrong reasons but I will always laugh at it.

"I don't drink. I'm an Olympic gold medalist remember? (Just percs for me, thanks.)" - Kurt Angle

I'd say Booker's legacy is definetly big, since he's a pioneer for black wrestlers and for tag team wrestlers. I always loved him, however he just didn't put much effort if not any at all into his TNA work

"Can u ask me a question little john" "yeeeaaaaa" 10/10 line by christian😂

I don’t see his time in TNA as bad for his legacy. I see it as a fun run for a legend whose in-ring career in the WWE had come to an end. One more dance, so to speak.

"Lookin at petey Williams, he sees Petey standing there, Petey's down , gotta big kick set up, wheres he gonna catch him at? Awwwwwghghghgh" Lmao.

Thanks for mentioning the Best of Seven with Benoit. From a purely historical perspective it was easily one of WCWs last great programs.

Booker T was at his best when he was King Booker. He found the perfect gimmick for a heel. He worked hard with the gimmick and became a great heel for his moment. I think he may have stayed motivated if he was still King Booker but used the name Emperor Booker in TNA.

Kurt Angle saying "I dont drink, im an Olympic gold medalist, remember?" Was hilarious

I loved his TNA run near the end. Him beating up the refs are extremely memorable.

Nash calling himself Chet Lemon was awesome. Lemon was an 80’s era Detroit Tiger. Nash repping Detroit on commentary.

Booker was pretty entertaining in TNA, at least, even if he wasn't taking it seriously. He does have a great legacy, though. His time in WCW and WWE were both great.

Personally I don't think Booker T was a failure in TNA or wrestling in general.

Never thought Vince Russo and Jim cornette would agree on anything Booker has got an ego the size of Texas

At least his commentary during that one episode where the Main Event Mafia took over IMPACT was amazing.

I laughed so hard at 9:28. Christian and Booker are 2 of the most entertaining wrestlers of all time.

Never knew booker was kinda difficult in TNA. Feels weird.

Booker T: Why don’t we have some champagne? Kurt Angle: I don’t drink……strictly Percocet.

He could of had an amazing run in impact, he just didn’t apply himself the right way. At the time of him jumping ship he was one of my favourite wrestlers

TNA also had some faults. Booker has mentioned how TNA couldn't even pay for wrestlers' food, so he ended up paying for others' food once.

The most memorable part of -Booker T's- sorry Black Snow's run for me was when he was on commentary on the main event mafia episode.

"I don't drink, I'm an Olympic Gold Medalist." - That's gotta be some serious cap.

Christians impression of Lil John is the best thing i've ever seen 😭🤣🤣

Christian with the Lil Jon bit was an instant classic.

Christian was one of the best things in wrestling at this point

5:38 I'd say it was more along the lines of "Booker T when he was traded to SmackDown", given how he constantly moaned and groaned about what an inferior brand that show was with him thinking about all the ways he could try and get back to SmackDown. In an alternate timeline where JBL never happened but Eddie Guerrero still fizzled out, Booker T as the guy who held the WWE Championship hostage could have been money.

Dixie Carter bringing in so many aging ex-WWE/WCW wrestlers and pushing them over the homegrown talent, was a terrible idea in the end.

TNA Booker was the best Booker. The everchanging accents, and you could tell he was just having fun. We were always excited to see what silly shit he was going to do. Towards the end he came out on the stage for his match and did this ridiculous thigh flex\pose. Very good stuff.

I can see why bookers acting career never took off

Main Event Mafia(when it was the old vets) was one of my favourite stables in all of wrestling tbh

While I understand Booker's perspective (TNA's general unprofessionalism, etc), he played his part as well. I wish he could've just stayed in WWE.

Someone needs to mod a pokemon game and add slapnuts 😂 I fucking love that

Sooo Booker T in TNA was basically Wesley Snipes in Blade Trinity?

He did not destroy his legacy in TNA still he is well known well loved by fans everywhere

I forgot literally everything before his run in the Main Event Mafia. This has been a trip

Do Ring of a Hawk Mean Mark Callous (pre undertaker Mark Callaway) in WCW Cactus Jack in WWE Terry Funk in WWE Kevin Thorn in WWECW

That booker T commentary voice will forever be how I remember him from now on.

I can't wait for the MarkyD poetry jam announcement at the end of the week.

Booker T calling his moves 😂😂😂

I enjoyed Booker T in TNA. Overall he is a great tag team wrestler and one of the few people who used the king of the ring crown to awesome effect. Less said but GI bro the better

Hulk Hogan, we coming for you ...

The accent during the hair dye ads always gets me, good work, Marky!

Something interesting is that RAW vs Smackdown 2008 (Booker T is in) came out in Europe 2 days before Booker made his debut in TNA and two days after in North America. So the game was out before and after days before Booker made his TNA Debut. I wouldnt say he ruined himself in TNA tbh like i think him having a change of pace from WWE was good and i felt like he did all he could in WWE. Plus it was better than feuding with Boogeyman. His run was a bit meh tbh especially when the main event mafia formed since like steiner he was just kinda there but unlike Steiner he wasnt too funny on purpose or accidental. His commentary was fun and painful at the same time. Id argue he was the weakest member

One of the strongest memories of the Main Event Mafia is Booker's "respeeeeeect" promo. The fact it's not included in this video hurts 😂

Always had a crush on Sharmell as a kid lol

Booker’s Afrikaan gimmick was gold. The leopard collar robes were gorgeous, the Legend’s belt was gorgeous, the accent was hilarious and the good old flipping out and reverting to his normal accent was always funny too. Big fan of the promos that foreshadowed it at Victory Road 2008 as well. With his house tour and business “portfolio”. Love it.

“i don’t drink, i’m an olympic gold medalist remember” lmao

Booker T hasn't aged a bit also Sting's face when Roode and Storm came out lol that's priceless

No way, he was one of the most over cross over stars in tna. He was a main event player and even had a title created exactly for him. His run with main event mafia was funny and gold. All his matches were always entertaining. From 2007-2010 booker t was the man in tna. Had he had stayed with wwe back in 07 and never left he would of probably ended up retiring from in ring competition a few years later if he stayed.

I liked Booker in TNA and was quite disappointed that he didnt stay longer. Seeing him go back to WWE and feud with Rhodes and do commentary wasnt an improvement imo. I feel the same way about Christian, I think both shud ve stayed until Hogan arrived.

Lmaooo Jeff Jarret was in Every angle 😂😂

I miss Booker T tbh no his legacy is big from being a TAG TEAM SPECIALIST & then a former what is it 6 time Champion 5 time WCW & then World Heavyweight Championship after defeating my favorite Wrestler Rey Mysterio

Kurt Angle: "I'm a gold medalist...I don't drink" Also Kurt Angle: .... Idk where do I start lol? Maybe PERC Angle?

Booker can wrestle and he was charismatic as hell. Legend for sure!

That was a good video all in all and would like to see more stuff like this in future. Thanks for a good watch brotha

I LOVE the episode of iMPACT where the Main Event Mafia took over. Black Snow and Chet Lemon were a dynamic pair.

He may not have had a legacy in Impact, but to say he didn't have much of a legacy at all is a bit unfair. He was one of the best guys WCW ever had. Sure he was no Sting or Flair, but Harlem Heat was probably tied for the best WCW tag team ever with the Steiners. And his singles career wasn't exactly remarkable, but he was still entertaining. WWE, it took him some time to fit into, but he eventually made it work. And now he's training young wrestlers (including the new ROH Women's Champion) and had his own promotion. So I'd say things worked out well for him. He had some snags in his career, but who hasn't? He's one of the best of all time. And if you don't agree, I'll hit you with an ax kick.

Booker T the kinda guy to prove everyone wrong in TNA that thought they could compete, he knew he was there for a cheque, he gave no shits about TNA, was just having fun with his old WCW pals

Booker T only got more "RESPECT" during his time in TNA. We all love and "RESPECT" the great hall of famer, Booker T. Shout out to OSW Review. Much "RESPECT" for breaking my entire mind.

13:22 saved Bookers legacy.

His feud with finlay, and Martel over the WCW TV title was the shit yo. That dude put the TV back on the map. The TV title didn’t hold weight after Double lost it. It was a title held in obscurity until Booker T held it.

I love you MarkyD,so go ahead and slap the ish out yourself.Dont disrespect real Legends bruh... Booker T is one of the Greats!!😉

Booker was just another whining veteran in TNA just like RVD was. Refused to job, was difficult to work with and thought he was above the rest of the locker room.

And here I am enjoying the soul out this run 😂😂 I genuinely love it. If book was upset with his time there, man that makes it better! He wasn’t trying to be funny but I found this hilarious! Black snow commentary while being in the ring is gold! Lol

7:37 The way he says Champagne 😂😂😂

LOL Booker almost sounds like Jamie Dundee....LOL Im DEAD! LMFAO!!!!

I think personally the reason why Booker T went to tiene was because at the time he was burned out from the WWE schedule which back then was 300-plus days a year plus he violated the wellness policy and was suspended for 30 days I believe and he actually asked for his release in October 2007 2 months after his last match with Triple H at SummerSlam so I feel like the reason why he went to tiene was so he can have a lighter schedule and when have to put his body through the hail and Punishment of the WWE schedule

Booker t recently talked about his tna run he said it was good in the beginning then the rest of it he just went through the motions and just collected a paycheck throughout the rest of his run. I personally found booker's run pretty decent especially when he was on commentary during that main event mafia segment.

13:20 A WILD SLAPNUTS APPEARS!

Booker T had a great theme in TNA in my opinion

@markyd123 he actually addressed the matt Morgan issue he was going to put him over until they tried to have him squashed by Morgan in 5 minutes he refused I would have done the same

The black snow commentary voice sounds like the black guy From crazy taxi 😂

I’m dead because I literally don’t remember “the bad guys”

How did I never know about black snow. What a legend lmao

9:43 Christian Cage doing Lil Jon just MADE my DAY😁

I swear slap nuts is like the RKO. It comes outta nowhere.

Kurt Angle saying he doesn't drink in that segment with Booker makes me think they wrote that in the story because he might've had a brief moment where he's actually sobering up.

15:02 dam TNA you want to have mats on the floor before your wrestler takes an over the ropes bump onto his lower back??

Kurt Angle said "I don't drink" 😹😂😂

It’s not a MarkyD123 video if a Wild Slap Nuts doesn’t appear!!!!!!!

Personally I think his legacy was too strong to be affected by whatever he did in twilight years of his career as a pro wrestler.

Damn.. I never knew Booker T was tripping like that.. he was cool with Triple H burying his career but TNA was the problem?

We need a Shane Sewell episode!

They made a belt for him because they didn't want to put the main title on him.

It wasn't that Booker T's Impact Wrestling career was bad! it was the fact that he was in Impact Wrestling in the first place. He was just another former WCW and WWE star taking the spot light from the younger guys.

"You see back in my country, back in Africa..." Ah yes, the well known country of Africa.

Black Snow and Chet Lemon are ICONIC.

Just a reminder: The POLICE was called to TNA because AJ Styles stole the Legends Title, a non-official title, but Samoa Joe hanging around the Impact Zone with a Katana almost killing Scott Steiner?? No issue. Vince Russo booking at it again!

Scott steiner always make me laugh when he is doin promos in Tna.

Testing your skills against the new talent is literally what everyone says going to a new company

Black Snow is the greatest thing to happen in TNA. *"Booker Ts beatin up everybody in the ring, BOOM!"*

MArky D are you going to do a best of Teddy Hart sometime lol that will be some good tv.

Perc Angle saying he doesn’t drink. Boy that’s one of the biggest jokes in TNA.

I say booker t earned his place in wrestling from WCW to WWE to TNA . I enjoyed his WWE run despite all the crap WWE put him through. He now has he's own development wrestling school. I say his legacy is that he's man that went through lot crap in his life and his career to become a true king

I dont drink , I'm an Olympic gold medalist 😂 💀

"Bobby Roode was unhappy that another ex-WWE guy was coming and pusing him further down the card" Tony Khan: Write that down!

Booker T damaged his own legacy, but helped cement the legacy of Black Snow as one of the greatest commentators in history.

Booker T's accent sounds like Apollo Crews after he turned heel
