Just the other night I was watching the WWE Network, looking at old WCW shows at The Metro Centre. There was a great one from 2000, where a young Booker T ran to the ring and I was stoked.

Booker T is a WWE Hall of Fame member and has had a huge impact on professional wrestling. He comes from a very troubling childhood and turned his life into one positive after another.

I've never had the chance to meet Booker T, but every wrestler I have met has always had great things to say about him. From his charity work to his developing young talent for the future of the WWE.

According to What Culture here are 10 Things You Didn't Know About Booker T:

  • His Brother Stevie Ray, Raised Him
  • He Enjoys Making Other Wrestlers Crack Up
  • A one Time Verbal Slip up on Camera is the Stuff of Legend
  • His Relationship with his First son has had it's Trouble
  • Harlem Heat Had The Most WCW Tag Title Runs
  • 2007 not a Good Year Between Booker and WWE
  • He Helped Scott Steiner Remain Calm at the Final WCW Nitro
