The arrival of WWE Hall of Famer Booker T marked the onset of the ‘Invasion’ 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.

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.”
