Well of course he wouldn't be inducted in 2008 or anything, but given his career thus far, would Booker be an ideal candidate for the Hall of Fame in maybe 5 or 10 years. For this poll just consider his career thus far and not possible returns to the WWE or TNA as his days in wrestling's mainstream may be just about over. Of course he could come back, but given that his brother retired as early as he did, its not completely out of the question that he'll just be done for good.

5 WCW World Championships
A World Heavyweight Champion
A Handful of US titles
And somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-15 tag title reigns.
You tell me.

Yes.
Booker T is one of the biggest names in wrestling. He won't be inducted soon, but I can see him being inducted within the next ten years. Same with Kurt Angle.

The induction isn't happening anytime soon,but he is entirely worthy
of being in the Hall of Fame.
Some of the other inductees have never won any major titles in the
company(Big John Studd,Junkyard Dog,Nikolai Volkoff,Iron Sheik)
and others have never worked for Vince and co.(Verne,Bockwinkel,
Original Sheik) so a wrestler who has was won as many titles as he has and has established himself as one of the WWEs top wrestlers
shouldn't have any trouble getting in.

The Hall of Fame is a joke until the day Bruno makes it in. Since leaving the company he has made some disparaging remarks about his match with Triple H which means he won't make it in until Aurora Rose is running the company

Iron Sheik was the WWF champ for a while. Hogan won his first title by beating Sheik. I think Booker is worthy, even though they didn't use him correctly for a good while, hence his WWE career isn't as good as it should've been. |

Absolutely. I don't think it should even be questioned.

Afterwards they barely did anything with him,so his title reigns slip from my memory. |

Booker T's WCW title runs are meaningless. He got them more for just sticking around. I always saw him as a great upper midcarder and nothing more. But since Midcard and even jobbers get in the hall of fame Booker get's his spot.

Since leaving the company he has made some disparaging remarks about his match with Triple H which means he won't make it in until Aurora Rose is running the company Except that reports indicate that the reason Bruno isn't in is because he doesn't want in; he wants nothing to do with WWE. But really, you think after Bret Hart gets inducted with all the bad blood he and Vince had, that someone isn't getting in because they said something bad about Trips once?  |

As far as Bruno goes, thanks for proving my point that you have to be willing to do business with the WWE to get into the Hall. Bret Hart is a big enough star to still make Vince lots of money after a decade away from the ring which gives him more leeway in saying something bad about Vince. King Booker is not that big of a star to get away with it. |

King Booker is not that big of a star to get away with it. What are they gonna do? Induct him against his will? This is stupid. You're holding WWE accountable for his not being in the hall of fame when in all probability it was Sammartino's decision not to go in. |
