Before.

Booker T, definitely one of my top five of all time, has had an amazing career in both companies. However, pretty much as a lot of people have said, in WWE he was one of 'those guys' who came in from the buyout and was just kinda there for most of his career. However, that's not to say he wasn't used. He was always on TV and always had an angle going on. His team with Goldust was awesome and his King Booker stuff was hilarious. He also had some great feuds with the likes of The Rock, Chris Benoit, Undertaker and Steve Austin (who'll ever forget the supermarket segment?).

But in WCW, he just kinda stood out more with his unique offence at the time. His team with Harlem Heat were a big part of my 90's wrestling viewing, and his multiple time Television, United States and World Championships meant he was clearly someone the company valued highly. He had the best of seven series with Benoit which was a treat, and some of his matches with the likes of Scott Steiner and Lance Storm could have headlined PPV's.

Booker was psysically a lot more 'flexible' in WCW... not sure if that is the right word, but clearly when he entered WWE he had already gained a lot of weight in order to 'hang' with the Superstars of the WWE, and although he was still amazing in the ring, he kinda seemed to have lost it a bit, I'd have imagined it was him trying to get use to his new muscle mass. That's not a knock on Booker T though, he was still great in the ring, just saying he seemed a bit more 'bogged down' when compared to his WCW days.

And of course, WWE I would think bought out more of Booker on the mic, especially through the use of a lot of the comedy that he has done. His mic skills were acceptable in WCW, but his time in WWE just really gave him a lot more character and personality.

However, his time in WCW is reflected through the eyes of a mark (at the time) whereas his WWE time is remembered by someone who understands 'how it works', so take that for what you will.
