** It took awhile for him to warm up to Dave Batista after Batista protested being moved from Raw to Smackdown and insulted the entire Smackdown locker room, of which Booker T was a part.
** He has a seemingly one sided antipathy with CM Punk that began when Punk introduced himself to some wrestlers new to WWE's cable shows as a "locker room leader" while his senior in age and wrestling experience Booker T was standing right next to him.



* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Booker T has stated that he was approached by Wrestling/KevinNash to join the NWO, and by extension the WCW version of Wrestling/TheKliq. Booker turned down the offer because during this time, a large percentage of the roster was in the group and he didn't want to get lost in the shuffle.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: MoneyDearBoy: Booker T is fully aware of the fact WWE's creative has not always been kind to or competent in its use of him, he just doesn't care so long as he gets paid. He has been known to lose his patience and or temper with certain people in the company, but avoids disparaging the company as a whole whenever possible.

** Wrestling/KevinSullivan [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_420.shtml said in a shoot interview]] that one of his biggest failures as a booker was not putting the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-h.html WCW World Heavyweight Title]] on Booker T. before Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} won it. Sullivan had wanted Booker T. to win the title as a heel, which could have been interesting. Wrestling/SherriMartel was also a proponent of it, and she and Bischoff had a few heated exchanges.

* MissingEpisode: While many people are familiar with the {{Website/Botchamania}} quote under the picture, not many know the source of it. "Mean" Gene Okerlund was interviewing Harlem Heat and manager Sister Sherri (Martel) at ''WCW Spring Stampede 1997'', April 6, 1997, to hype the Four Corners Match with Booker T. vs. Stevie Ray vs. Wrestling/LexLuger vs. [[Wrestling/TheBigShow The Giant]], where the winner would ostensibly get a shot at [[Wrestling/HulkHogan "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan]]'s [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-h.html WCW World Heavyweight Title]] at some undetermined point in the future, and Booker finished with the now-infamous quote, which was directed at Hogan. The word was changed to "sucka" for the VHS release. It is in its unedited form on the WWE Network, much to [[{{Website/Botchamania}} Maffew's]] self-admitted delight.
