The year 2000 turned out to be the most important year of Booker's wrestling career. Not only was he finally getting the main event push that so many had wished for him to get, but he won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship three times that year, holding it for a total of 125 days.
This was also the year that Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) named Booker the most inspirational wrestler of the year, as well as ranking him No. 5 in the top 500 wrestlers in the world for that year.
In the last days of WCW, Booker T was both the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship.
By the end of WCW he was recognized as the most decorated athlete in the history of the company, winning a total of 23 championships during his tenure.
Booker debuted in WWF at the 2001 King Of The Ring tournament when he injured "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. He then went on to become a heel and be a leading figure in The Alliance during the invasion storyline between WWF and WCW/ECW.
Booker spent the majority of the next few years chasing more tag team gold. He teamed with Test, Goldust, and Rob Van Dam, winning championships with each of them.
Throughout his time looking for tag team titles, Booker also competed on several occasions for both the Intercontinental and United States championship belts.
