King Booker was the royal persona adopted by Booker T in WWE after he won the 2006 King of the Ring tournament, complete with a crown, cape and an exaggerated regal manner. The character became a memorable part of mid-2000s wrestling, especially for fans who remember his grand entrances and court alongside Queen Sharmell. Clips from that era still circulate in wrestling edits and reaction videos because the gimmick is instantly recognisable, even to viewers who never watched the original run.
