Booker T's Most Memorable Matches, Moments in WrestleMania History

Booker T remains one of the most highly-decorated wrestlers of all time, with the WWE Hall of Fame legend now calling colour commentary for the company.

The 53-year-old was the last WCW World Heavyweight Championship holder before its merger with WWE, but the Texan also went on to lift Vince McMahon's most prestigious title as he captured the famous gold belt again.

The Houston-born six-time world champion produced a set of memorable performances during his career, and he was always convincing as either a heel or babyface.

As WrestleMania 34 approaches, we take a look at some of the fighter's most memorable moments on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Booker T Challenges Triple H for World Title at WrestleMania 19

As WWE's reigning heavyweight king, no one could compete with Triple H in the eyes of Vince McMahon, but Booker T provided a credible threat at WrestleMania 19.

Booker was portraying the character of a compromised face, a wrestler who had dragged himself up from a tough childhood to become a world champion.

Triple H was the king of the industry, accompanied by Ric Flair, and was the model of what WWE truly stood for in terms of image.

The reigning champion made a number of disparaging remarks about his competitor in the build-up to 'Mania, and the stage was set for a tough encounter in Seattle.

Booker was in great form on the night, and he kept the Game in check until the champion wrapped him up in an Indian Death Lock.

A scissor kick appeared to have swung the fight back in the favour of the challenger, but Triple H delivered a huge Pedigree to win the bout.

As John Cena opened WrestleMania XX to win the United States Championship from the Big Show, Booker T followed the first match to defend his tag title.

Rob van Dam held the World Tag Team Championship with Booker, and they were pitted in a fatal four-way as they defended their belts.

The legendary Dudley Boyz were chasing the title, as Garrison Cade and Mark Jindrak were also added to the mix.

La Resistance made up the numbers for the encounter, and the action was wild as the teams attempted to carve an advantage.

The opponents did their best to work over Booker, but the veteran was firm as he stayed alive in the match.

The bout switched as Booker hit Rob Conway with a scissor kick, allowing Van Dam to land a classic Five Star Frog Splash to trigger a three-count.

Booker T Faces off Against Edge at WrestleMania X8

With both men looking for a storyline as Triple H and Chris Jericho topped the billing at WrestleMania X8, Booker T would face Edge in a match that allowed both competitors to show their prowess.

Booker quickly took control as Edge was slow out of the blocks. However, a swift Hurricanrana gave the Rated R Superstar a way back into the fight.

Both wrestlers were agonisingly close to grabbing a three-count for victory, but the night will be remembered for Edge's version of Booker's Spinaroonie.

Edge won the bout as he executed the Edgecution, but Booker had once again proved he was one of the industry's top performers.

Boogeyman Defeats Booker T and Sharmell at WrestleMania 22

In one of Booker T's more bizarre moments in WWE, the wrestler teamed with his wife, Sharmell, as the pair faced the Boogieman in his WrestleMania debut in 2006.

The Allstate Arena hosted WrestleMania 22, and Booker and Sharmell were deathly afraid of the man they were pitted against.

Boogieman went through his usual routine and scary dancing as the pair watched on before their Handicap Match, and Booker insisted his wife start the encounter as he hid behind her.

Booker hit a big Book End as he looked to win the match, but the fight will be remembered for Boogieman's kiss of Sharmell—with a mouthful of worms.

Boogieman grabbed the victory as he landed a Falling Chokebomb on Booker, maintaining his unbeaten run in WWE.
