• Old School Wrestling Legend Celebrates His Birthday
Old School WCW-WWF Legend Booker T (Real name: Robert Huffman) celebrates his birthday today.
Booker T became famous in Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling as one half of the Tag Team Harlem Heat, before winning his first World Title at the ‘Bash at the Beach 2000’ PPV.
When Vince McMahon bought the promotion in March 2001, Booker T was among those WCW Stars, who were signed to a World Wrestling Federation contract right away.
As the reigning and defending WCW World Heavyweight Champion at that time, he played a major role in the infamous Invasion angle, that saw the ‘WCW/ECW Alliance’ feud with the WWF Superstars.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOOKER T!
