The arrival of WWE Hall of Famer Booker T marked the onset of the ‘Invasion’ storyline. The storyline happened when WWE bought its rival WCW, so naturally, a bunch of WCW talents wrestled against the WWE superstars. However, the fans still have a sour taste of the storyline. The WWE chairman infamously made the WWE superstars beat the established WCW superstars. This happened when The Undertaker faced Booker-T.

By the time Booker T made his WWE debut, he was already a five-time WCW World Champion – however, this didn’t change his mind.

Eventually, ‘Taker won the match. It was a match where it seemed like Booker was going over and could have delivered a major upset for the Deadman. However, this never happened.

However, he still thinks that a loss against Booker T would never have affected Undertaker’s credibility as a wrestler inside the ring.

“He didn’t wanna beat Undertaker. No matter what the reason, he [Vince McMahon] didn’t wanna beat The Undertaker. But I will concur, the thought of Booker-T getting a heel-like win over the Undertaker, would only set up a great return. I would say that Vince [McMahon] didn’t even seriously consider that option. ‘Taker is going over.” 

“A loss was not going to affect ‘Taker, he was a made man” Jim confessed.

However, this never affected Booker T’s credibility as well because he went on to become one of the top faces of Vince McMahon’s company.
