Booker T Biography

Booker Tio Huffman was born on May 1, 1965 in Houston, Texas. In 1987, he was arrested for robbing a Wendy's and served 19 months in prison. With his brother Stevie Ray (Lance Huffman), they made their wrestling debuts in 1989. They wrestled in the Global Wrestling Federation as the Ebony Experience. He is currently married to Sharmell Sullivan, a former WCW Nitro Girl.
Harlem Heat:

Booker T and Stevie Ray made their WCW debut in 1993. Originally, WCW wanted them to be led to the ring by chains by their "owner" Col. Parker. Thankfully, that idea was scrapped and they were known as Harlem Heat. Their original WCW names were Kane & Kole, but they were quickly changed back to Booker T & Stevie Ray. They dominated the tag team scene until 1996 when Booker T became a solo wrestler.
TV Title & The Letter T:

In 1997, Booker T got his first real run as a singles wrestler. In a memorable feud, he won a best of 7 match series with Chris Benoit to win the TV title. At the end of 1998, he suffered a knee injury. When he returned, he regained the tag team title with his brother. They eventually broke up and Big T (Ahmed Johnson) took Booker T's place in the team. They feuded over the letter T.
Misfits in Action:

In 2000, Booker T was renamed GI Bro and joined the Misfits in Action. Then out of nowhere, he became the WCW Champion. That night, Hulk Hogan was to fight Jeff Jarrett, but there were political issues going on and Jarrett laid down for Hogan. Vince Russo cut a scathing promo on Hogan and stripped him of the title. Hogan left WCW and sued over the incident. Later that night, Booker T beat Jeff Jarrett to win the title.
Death of WCW:

In the dying days of WCW, Booker T was one of the few bright spots. He became a main eventer and on the final night of WCW, was crowned World Champion. He then was one of the leaders of the Invasion of the WWE and feuded with the Rock. He would go on to be a 5-time WCW champion before the belt was retired.
All Hail King Booker:

Since entering the WWE in 2001, Booker T has been a star in the WWE. He has always been in the running for a title and has a very impressive title resume. He was in a world title match at WrestleMania 19. In 2006, he burst into the main event scene by winning the King of the Ring. While King, he beat Rey Mysterio at the 2006 Great American Bash to win the World Heavyweight Championship. The highlight of his title reign was when he beat WWE Champion John Cena and ECW Champion Big Show in the Champion of Champions Match.
TNA:

In spring of 2007, Booker was drafted to RAW. After serving a suspension for his involvement with the Signature Pharmacy scandal, both he and his wife were released from the WWE. In the fall of 2007, he made his TNA debut as Sting's mystery partner at TNA:Genesis.
