My opinions on Booker T kind of tie into what people have said above.
I think the nail was hit on the head when the word 'Average' was used to describe Booker T. That in itself is the problem.
Because he is slightly above average in every area that we examine wrestlers on, then he doesn't appear to have any stand out qualities.
As a result he ends up looking pretty vanilla.
You add in the horrendous writing he's had to deal with, the push's he's had and would have been better off without, and the latest lame-ass storyline he's having to deal with, and you can see why there are those who aren't his biggest fan, and you can see why there are those who think he's had a rough deal and deserves a better chance.
Having said all that, Booker T hasn't exactly helped himself.
All wrestlers should be aware of how they are perceived, and Booker T MUST be aware that for a while now he has been perceived as stale.
The Book-man should have been looking to introduce some new moves to his set, keep things lively, and weed out some of the old stuff, or at the very least, rotate it around.
As it is, it kind of looks like he's going through the motions, earning his paycheck and not putting in any more effort than he has to.
Personally, I think there are others more deserving of the push that he's got.
Put as simply as I can, I think that the best of Booker T's career is behind him.
