Booker T has wrestled some of the biggest names in the business throughout the course of his career, and at WrestleMania 19 he challenged Triple H for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the grandest stage of them all.
Unfortunately for Booker T it was Triple H who walked out with the gold that night, but the result of the match is something that is still constantly discussed by fans.
Booker T recently opened up about the match during an episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, and he noted that he doesn’t lose sleep over the loss.
“The thing about that match [at WrestleMania 19], of course the ending wasn’t what most of the majority of the fans that night were wanting. So many people wanted me to win that night, I remember a couple of the office guys said, ‘Book you should have won tonight.’ Well, you wrote it. You had a piece of it, why didn’t you speak up?”
“I didn’t win that night, I don’t lose any sleep over it because I’ve always looked at wrestling like movies. Sometimes when you’re watching a movie, sometimes the bad guy wins. The movie goes off and the bad guy gets away with the crime. I’ve never once looked back and said man, I should’ve won that match. I’ve never done that before, never once because I never thought about the business that way.”
While talking about the idea of a possible rematch Booker T said that it would have to go down in Saudi Arabia, because that’s where WWE hands out the big checks, and he wants to get paid.
