Booker Huffman Jr. (born March 1, 1965), better known by his ring name Booker T, is an American professional wrestler, promoter, and color commentator who is currently signed with WWE as a pre-show analyst on Raw and pay-per-views. He is also the owner and founder of the independent promotion Reality of Wrestling (ROW) in his hometown of Houston, Texas.
Booker is best known for his time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E), and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), holding 35 championships between those organizations. He is the most decorated wrestler in WCW history, having held 21 titles including a record six WCW World Television Championships, and a record eleven WCW World Tag Team Championships: ten as one half of Harlem Heat with his brother, Lash "Stevie Ray" Huffman in WCW, and one in the WWF with Test.
Booker is a six-time world champion, having won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship five times (four times in WCW, and once in the WWF) and WWE's now retired World Heavyweight Championship once. He is the first non-mixed race African American to become a world champion in WWE, and was voted the greatest World Heavyweight Champion of all time in a 2013 WWE viewer poll. Booker has also gained notable success as a tag team wrestler, being a 15-time world tag team champion between WCW (11 times), WWF/E (three times), and TNA (once). Additionally, he was the winner of the King of the Ring tournament in 2006, the sixteenth Triple Crown Champion and the ninth Grand Slam Champion in WWE history. As the ninth (and final) Triple Crown Champion in WCW history, Booker is one of four men in history to achieve both the WWE and WCW Triple Crowns.
Booker was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 6, 2013, by his brother, Lash Huffman (Stevie Ray).
