Booker T (wrestler)
Robert Booker Tio Huffman (born March 1, 1965 in Houston, Texas) is a professional wrestler better known by his stage name of Booker T.
For much of the 1990s, he was one of the mainstays of World Championship Wrestling, winning the promotion's World Heavyweight title 4 times, plus a fifth time after WCW was purchased by WWE. He made his initial impact with his brother Lane (who wrestled as Stevie Ray) as the tag team of Harlem Heat, which held WCW's World Tag Team title a record 10 times. He also won five World Television titles and one United States Heavyweight title.
His rise from Midcard to Main Event level is due to decisions made by Vince Russo. In a spur of the moment change to one WCW pay per view, Russo fired, the then World Champion, Hulk Hogan and made a new main event between Jeff Jarrett and Booker T for the World title.
After WCW folded, he joined the World Wrestling Federation, now World Wrestling Entertainment; he has held that promotion's tag team title and its Intercontinental singles title.
On March 22, 2004 Booker T was traded from the RAW brand along with the Dudley Boyz to the Smackdown! brand for Triple H. He has since turned heel and is presently feuding with John Cena.
