I really feel WWE shit the bed with Booker. For him to never win the WWE championship is a bit of a head scratcher. His one World Heavyweight Championship reigns was pretty good but really it was a little late in his career. If he would have went over HHH that would have pushed him to new heights and maybe be a regular main event guy. But he was a WCW guy that Vince didn't create so he let Booker fall into the mid card.

So do you think Vince purposely threw away money? Or do you think he thought HHH as champ was the better choice at that given time?

We all know Vince is not prefect, but to say he passed over Booker T just because he was a WCW guy is a little... I dont even know the word... I'll call it Meltzerish. Especially odd line of thinking when a year later he had TWO WCW guys standing in the middle of his ring, in the middle of his arena, closing his company's marquee event.

Maybe your better argument is Vince is racist. Which isn't true, but it seems like it has more weight to it.

People who've worked for Vince have said that he isn't racist he just doesn't know any better and is out of touch which I completely believe although, Its worrisome that no one has tried to tell the guy. See: R-Truth, New Day (before they brilliantly subverted the gimmick ) I'm not sure who los matadores is offending but I bet they are still offensive. R-Truths's awesome heel turn got him far and away from only to be stuck in that gimmick once more.

I dont know if he purposely did it but there was more money in Booker than whst he got. Eddie and Benoit jumped ship to WWF before they acquired WCW. That's different than Booker who was acquired in the sell. They jumped ship and Vince rewarded them.

Maybe. But the IWC narrative is that Vince won't push guys he didn't create. He didn't create Chris Benoit. Yet he still had him there in MSG closing out his marquee event.

To me both Eddie and Benoit were better than Booker T, so they made the right call putting over those guys instead of Booker. But that's just a matter of opinion.
