Its pretty sad with Booker because I liked him as a wrestler and I felt he deserved to be world champion, but much like Rey's case, how you are booked to become champion plays a HUGE role so if you're hotshotted to the top withouth having gone through the midcard division, it really hurts your credibility. I have to give it to Russo though, he busted his ass to try to make Booker look credible (Sting, Goldberg, NASH, Steiner all jobbed clean to him) since (supposedly) Hogan wouldn't job to him.
