I'm not quite sure but I still laugh about it today. I remember one week he was normal and the next week he had an African accent and a bad one at that.

Booker was a huge fan of the Last King of Scotland and was paying tribute.

Booker was a huge fan of the Last King of Scotland and was paying tribute. And I believe he said in an interview at the time that he was using his TV time as an opportunity to showcase his acting skills, which many took offense to. |

It never failed to make me laugh when he would do his damndest to keep the accent up only to start talking "hood" the second that he got mad.

Man. I miss that Booker T. The Black Snow, random accents Booker T.
He'd make a great shit-stirrer in WWE.

I always assumed Booker got really bored after about six months in TNA and just decided to do random accents to amuse himself.

I assumed that he was trying to rekindle his King Booker days.

Yeah, for a while there, the main accent he used was the King Booker one, so I thought it was an attempt at continuity from him. As whenever he'd get "mad" or startled or whatever, he'd drop down into his normal voice. I took it as his character, at the time, being so egotistical that it was trying to cover it's "commoner" roots and seem more highbrow and upper class despite it's actions being so ugly. Something they'd teased, but never fully outright stated about the King Booker gimmick in WWE that makes the sudden gimmick change make a whole lot more sense.
