The only plus side to that is people would proudly remember him as one of the all time greats and no doubt would be a sure fire hall of famer who WWE would praise any chance they could.

Kurt was a drug abuser. He was heavy on the supplements to maintain his shape. Booker T on the other hand was at his peak physique and always seemed to stay healthy. I believe it was the fame and fast life that wore him down and led him to leaving. Vince couldn't careless about his talents well being. Many top wrestlers have lost their lives over the years all in attempt to remain relevant in the business and impress vince who was often notoriously recounted to be a narcissistic selfish dictator obssesed with physical appearance and excessive fitness. He ran the company like a circus show, very rarely giving some time off to his wrestlers and abusing them like some owned properties of his. He wants his wrestlers to work all around the year without any breaks. They don't even have any chance to rest after main events not even after wrestlemania. This is why many eventually lose their heads and go totally haywire. There's only so much you can supress with painkillers and off the shelf meds, but sooner or later it will take its toll on your body and you have the choice to either prevent further damage or continue risking your life and that's pretty much how it goes with many wrestlers.

This man was the epitome of a consummate professional. The total damn package. Not merely just athletic but his agility and coordination was the best I've seen at that size. He and the Rock man. So agile for their size. But this man inspired this little black kid from the hood during a time when there wasn't much to look up to and I'll always be thankful for him and Big Stevie Ray

Exactly. I respect Booker T’s honesty.

I was stationed in Adak, Ak in 1992-93 time frame and I remember Ric Flair was in the ring and Harlem Heat came out during his Promo. He looked up at the entrance and said who in the blue hell is Harlem Heat. From that moment on I was a fan of Booker and Stevie Ray. I'm 52 years old and I still keep saying they're going to come back. One can hope right? Thanks for the memories Booker T. You were one of the best to ever do it!!

Whenever I listen to Booker talk wrestling, the business and especially his career, it further cements my belief I've carried ever since the WCW days of 1997 and beyond, and that is that Booker T is one of the top 10 all around performers ever in the business during my lifetime (45 yrs). The only guys I put ahead of him are Angle, Flair, Savage, Bret Hart, Arn Anderson and Benoit. Stories like this explain why for me. This guy has had such a level head and tremendous work ethic/humility and CONFIDENCE that it always showed no matter what company or what gimmick or angle.

Very true

Booker T, DDP and Scott Steiner were the only guys keeping WCW's lights on during it's last year. Everyone else either lost patience altogether with it's fiasco management, or took advantage of it. But not those 3. Even though they were just as frustrated as everyone else, they still worked at a consistently high level. Vince didn't realize or appreciate this enough in my opinion. Yeah, they were the only WCW guys to receive any real push during the early days of the "merger", but none of them, Booker T especially, got the respect they rightly deserved. Booker T should've been upper A tier, elite level talent amongst Rock, Stone Cold, HHH and Taker.

I totally understand why Book would want to leave. Being on the road for so many years, sometimes you just have to put a pause on it and stop and smell the roses.

King Booker's last match in the WWE was against John Cena and you could never tell that he was tired and overworked. He moved liked a gladiator out there, the quickness, agility, aggression and stamina was all there for a man that was ailing in silence. This just goes to show you the heart and will power of this man originally billed from the tough streets of Harlem NY. Long live King Booker. Wished he would have stayed and got a run with the WWE championship, it would have looked great around his waist with a spinning crown in the middle. Oh well at least he gave Cena a good old fashion kingly ass whooping on his way out the door in a dq finish.

Booker T one of my all time favorite wrestlers. Just like a lot of the greats, he started as a tag team. Then transitioned into a single star though in the mid card at first but you could see the potential. When he moved up to the US title and the World title he was so over as a babyface in WCW. I miss those days. WWE ruined him at first, but since hes such a professional and a great wrestler he made the best of it. He outlasted the bs they were giving him and he got over in WWE. He should have been alot bigger sooner and HHH should have done the job for him at wrestlemania. I love me some Booker T, hes so real and down to earth. All I have left to say is... Hulk Hogan, were coming for you.... well you know the rest haha.

Thank you to my loyal subjects 👑

Video request can you talk about your time teaming with Test and Kidman and why that was the plan thanks Booker for all that you have done

I love Booker is was nothing but entertaining every time he was on screen. I’m glad he followed his heart and stepped away when he felt he had to go. Times comes for all of us to make that decision (I know I’m there now lol I’m ready to move on from my job) but when you step away from one opportunity another door will open. I’m glad he followed his heart...it’s definitely words to live by.

One of the best

For anyone interested, try to track down Dave Chappelle's standup routine where he refers to what's called "Mileage" in prostitutes, which essentially boils down to: you can only turn tricks so long until you eventually go crazy. In a way, I think this applies to wrestling. You can only do it for so long until it breaks you. Look at all the wrestlers that stayed in past their mileage and turned to drugs to cope. I'm glad Booker T was smart enough and brave enough to know that even at the height of your popularity, when it's your time to walk away, you need to walk away. On a personal note, I worked backstage security at an NXT event in Houston in 2018 and Booker T showed up. He was one of the nicest, most well-spoken persons I've ever met. Truly a legend. Thanks for the memories Book!

You have a great career Thank you Because I enjoy watching you💫

Scary stuff at the end. Of course everyone would have wanted to see more KING BOOOOKAH, but he's a smart man and I'm glad we can still see Book happy and healthy.

Thanks Joe! Thats what its all about

One of my favorite matches booker t was involved in when he fought against Chris Benoit best of 7 series for the US championship on smackdown back in 05 they tore the house down

It's understandable that Booker T needed time away from wrestling. Some times that is how it goes and for the fact that it had gone to that point... I'm glad you did step way not just for your family but for yourself because who would have known had it not been for that feeling to happen.. Thank you for the many years you have given us to watch Booker T. You are an uber legend.

Listen to your heart when it’s talking to you

I miss seeing booker T looking at his hand like he's in shock.

With his performance inside and outside the ring, I put Booker in the ballpark of Rock and Stone Cold. Showmanship and entertaining wrestling. The spin-a-roonie!!
