Booker is such a real one; he stayed loyal to Bruce when he could’ve easily forgotten about him!!

Credit to Bruce Gasarch and Booker’s brother Stevie Ray for putting Booker T on the right track, man.. a real one.

Men like Booker, MVP, and Titus O'Neal are such inspirations. Proof that if others are willing to give you a chance, your past doesn't have to define your future.

Booker is a legend, I am delighted that ‘Harlem Heat’ are in the hall of fame too 👍🏻

[HTTRforLIFE]

I knew there was a reason I always liked watching Booker T back when I was a kid!!

In the early 90s, my grandfather took me to this outdoor wrestling tournament in Dilley Texas. There was this wrestler there named G.I. Bro. I got to meet him. Got his autograph. He was the nicest guy to us kids! I later found out that Booker T used to wrestle under the name "G.I. Bro".

[marckevin]

He will always be one of my favorite. He seems like one of the nicest, approachable and funniest man in wwe and wcw on the days. And his King Booker character will always one of the most hilarious character even as heel. 🙂

The Booker T scissor kick is by far the most iconic WWE finisher there ever was!

[michaelfoster]

Man to have someone believe in you enough to put money up. for you. Is truly an honor and like Book.and Bruce said a chance, not just any chance. A fighting chance.

[trishalynn]

Bruce is a great guy! His wife is a great lady! They make a great couple and have some amazing children!

[ronsilvia]

See the look on that kid face at 3:07 he’s gonna be violent when he grows up 😂😂

[petermelb]

There's some "wrestlers" who come into business but can't fight out of a wet paper bag, but he could really fight, if he was born in different era or he's life took a different turn he could been a cage fighter or boxer 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

[Zaxh]

Absolute legend one of my all time favorites. Who knows what his career could’ve been if triple h actually did the right thing and put him over at wrestle mania

[michaeltryon]

That's cool, but could have done more on the story.
