I find that odd, seeing is that alot of people still rave about their match at Bash at the Beach 2000---or maybe that was because they didn't have alot of time to go over the match.
As far as what's so great about Booker, I agree with those who say it's mostly a matter of poor storylines and injuries in his WWE career. I've always seen Booker T. as a black Chris Benoit---as in I like him mostly for his wrestling than his promos. He needs to change two things, though:
1. Stop using the spin-a-roonie after hitting a couple of big moves. It makes his character look stupid, as he could be going for the pin. He needs to go back to using it as a "kip-up" type move after an axe kick, or flapjack. Also, the spin-a-roonie was funny by the name alone back in WCW when Mark Madden used to say it, but Booker never even acknowledged it.
2. Get a new finisher. This might be the more difficult of the two changes, but the axe kick doesn't cut it as a finisher, IMO. No Bookend, either, since whether or not The Rock decides to be full-time, fans will always think of that move as the Rock Bottom. The Houston Hangover would be good to go back to, but I heard he actually hurt someone with that when he tried it in WWE.
