WWE WrestleMania XIX (2003) - Triple H vs Booker T for the World Heavyweight Title - Part 2

[xorn96]

This match was worth watching for the Indian Deathlock that Triple H puts on Booker.

[adam102285]

sorry, ric flair helped HHH

[misternogood]

Worst burial ever. HHH shouldnt've gone over in the first place but the lazy pin and single pedigree was ridiculous. I despised trips for this one. Booker T, and STEINER should have beat him, they were both red hot. But especially booker in this storyline. At least UNDERTAKER makes the Kliq BOW DOWN.

[pumphie]

@misternogood - Scott Steiner is the worst wrestler ive ever seen he was never red hot he was disgraefull in WWE. A Main event push for a few months then fueding with Test?? Pffttt Joke!! I watched it week in and week out Steiner was so slow and shit his wreslting was worse than John Cenas

[RandomMindz]

Fuck HHH, fuck this match

[JETLIFE62]

good match

[jack1995mclintock]

Booker was screwed!

[cruherrx]

Wow, that Pedigree kept Book down for 30 seconds, but H kicked out of so many Book Kicks. Buried.

[ThrillerStinger]

I will say that hhh got some pushes that lasted a bit to long, but he deserved the title reigns. All of you guys saying his only a main eventer because of steph you would be absolutly incorrect. He was winning world titles (he won about 3-5 if I remember correctly.) before he even started a relationship with steph in 2001-2002

[MrJfrick37]

F*** Rick f

[TheCowboysftw]

FLAIR HAS NO BUSINESS UP THERE DAMN IT! NO BUSINESS!

[rointz]

@VorkeyYT Were you born when your mom was gangraped ??? Or when she had sex with a shemale ???

[RedHeroe1]

MANNN!!! 70% percent booker vs triple h + 30% JR!! = MY GOD

[Danthepest1]

you can tell that even JR got sick of Lawler saying stupid, unfunny nonsense by the end

[JohnnyD230]

@RsPaperCut shut the fuck up. You're just a scrawny little fuck who got bullied. Once a little bitch, always a little bitch

[BlackenedForLife]

Holy wedlock! Triple H buried Booker T.

[mapscannotcontainme]

@BlackenedForLife

Do you even know what buried means? 

[Assassin6190]

its funny that i caught with my eyes and i saw that pedigree fake i know everything is fake but i just caught the last one

[Police87]

watch Ric flair tell HHH do it "for your race" !!! "his yours" !!

[Police87]

@Police87 1:25-1:27

[ab006691]

HHH completely buried booker t.HHH sucks.

[rointz]

@ab006691 Booker T deserved to be screwed... PERIOD !!!

[chanakyakesaa]

wtf.....booker t deserves the belt......fuck hhh & ric flair....best of booker's matches

[TekkenKazuyaMishima]

LOOOL Flair is AWESOME and Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler commentating = GENIUS 00:45 - 1:10 also HHH distracting ref is HILARIOUs heels r tha best XD!

[Rex0pas]

lmao king kissing triple h ass

[demioscar]

He is not the game the singer meant  (THE GAY)..LOL

[frustratedgamerguy]

Way to go HHH

You made RAW a shitty program

but no worries

there was SMACKDOWN

[RsPaperCut]

How do your like booker t he's a nigger who robbed a burger king L O L

[MrChicago17]

@RsPaperCut 2011 not 1864 

[TheYeah8989]

@RsPaperCut Some people make mistakes in life, his mother died when he was a kid, that pretty tramatic. It prolly effected him for a long time, you're such an idiot.

[livsm]

Booker should've kicked out of the pedigree. Triple H would've set up for another one and Booker would reverse that into a Book End for the 3 count. That's how I would've booked this match. Fuck you whoever booked this crap.

[DahStoryTella]

@livsm I'm sure that you've heard about the WWE keeping the title on HHH to set up his feud with Goldberg.

[joker70784]

if I was competing in this I woulda gone out and beat flair with a fucking chair to get rid of his nonsense lmao

[ngn00]

7:18 - I thought JR was gonna go into cardiac arrest... lol DAMMIT!!!!!!!

[arsepirate90]

For me, Triple H really sucked between 2003-04 he pushed far too much, he was involved in nearly all the main event PPV, at the time i was sick to death of seeing him, and I was a big fan of his. I mean he really was pushed too much, 1st it was his matches with shawn micheals, then evolution came about, then scott stiiner and you're just thinking the belt is stuck with the game, then came booker t, Randy Orton Batista, Goldberg etc.

[Videogamestwin]

@arsepirate90 Also, most of the people he has beaten during that time deserved the title MORE than him (Kane, Booker T, RVD, HBK, Jericho) his reign was ridiculous.

[arsepirate90]

@Videogamestwin yes I agree, at the same time though I don't think many other wrestlers have gave as much to the wwe as Triple H

[joker70784]

@arsepirate90

yeah I felt the same way, I am huge HHH fan his one of my top 3 fav but I also got sick of him holding the title for so long that it made me stop watching wwe for a couple years lol

[rointz]

@arsepirate90 atleast he was a talent. Unlike John Cena.

Hulk Hogan had the championship belt around his waist for nearly 4 years straight. Bret Hart had the title with him for a lot of days than Triple H

[arsepirate90]

@rointz hmm the belt could have went to someone else for a while, of course he had the talent im not sayign he didnt he is the game after all one of his biggest fans from 99 to 02 but i think guys like booker t should have got the belt for a while anyway

[ab006691]

@rointz You are overrating HHH so much it's not even funny.HHH is average at best in the ring IMO.His matches are boring as fuck unless somebody carries his ass or it's a gimmick.His matches with Steiner,Orton,Cena,Batista,Boo­ker T,Goldberg and nash were all yawners.Ask ANYBODY what they thought of the mainevent of WM 25.

[rointz]

@ab006691 His matches with Mic Foley, The Rock, Stone cold, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle,Chris Jericho were more than awesome... His matches with Batista and Orton were good too... None of the matches of Cena, Goldberg, Nash and Steiner are 5 star matches... they don't sell moves and are the most overrated wrestlers of all time...

[MrPavelSan]

@rointz You know why his matches with Foley, Rock, Stone Cold, Undertaker, HBK and Kurt Angle were great? Because they carried him through the entire match and built him. It's not like he was that awesome, it's just the wrestlers he worked with, that made the matches great. Hell even Batista made the matches look better. Abd and about Nash not selling a move, that's the most dumbest thing you could possibly say.

[MrPavelSan]

@rointz And just to make another record straight, you do realise that Triple H did all he could in his power to not let The Rock get more over with the crowd? Do you realise that while Triple H was a WWF Champion he did all he could to not let Stone Cold get over him? I guess, you obviously don't. Hell, even Ric Flair says that working with a guy like Triple H was a pain in the ass.

[rointz]

@MrPavelSan The Rock was a bigger superstar than Triple H and so was Stone Cold... If Triple H would have done all of those things with them, then, they would have made sure that they would never put Triple H over themselves and make him a jobber. Asshole... there was a professional jealousy, but, there was always respect amongst the three... Sometimes, Triple H would win against them and sometimes he would lose to them.

[jhammaster]

@rointz actually cena, to disagree, has had great matches with hunter both mania 22 and night of champions was great.

[pumphie]

@ab006691 Steiner and Goldber where terrible wreslters in WWE and Goldberg lasted 11months his match with The Rock at Backlash was terrible he couldnt punch and when the The Rock done moves on his his defence was terrible! Steiner is a joke hes worse than Cena! 2003 -2005 wasan Era for Triple H to say im the best im. He didnt have to try hard he had done it all already with his past performances!

[Allapattahgoon]

@ab006691 steiner couldnt carry matches for shit, the Cena match @ WM22 watch it again,and see how many "yawners" there were, and Nash? when has he ever had a good match? Go cry

[jhammaster]

@Allapattahgoon so using that now huh?

[jhammaster]

@rointz dude cena has talent trust me.

[pumphie]

@arsepirate90 Goldberg was terrible!



[nwolwo]

@arsepirate90 yea n now we're stuck with fucking super cena

[MuffinManTF]

@arsepirate90 Well, the first half of 2004, he was on fire. The match against Michaels at the RR, the triple threat at 'Mania, the rematch at Backlash.

But, 2003 Triple H, I agree, was pretty bad.

[ChiGuy251]

OAN: I enjoyed JR & King's commentary during this match...it was some nice interaction between the two.

[ChiGuy251]

I always had mixed feelings about this match. I thought it was a great match but Booker T should have went over I was kinda mad he didn't. I really hated Triple H during this period he used his backstage power to go over in this match and then straight up buried Booker T in the end...there was at least 13 seconds between the pedigree and the pinfall...I guess it was THAT devastating!

[billa107]

Nice Indian Death Lock, I didn't mind Triple H winning, because Triple H was the Top Dog on RAW at this time. Smackdown was fine. But RAW only had Triple H and The Rock as the top main eventers. Smackdown had Angle, Lesnar, Big Show, Undertaker, A-Train to name a few.

[AR25able]

Triple H should have done the honours here, Booker should have won especially with all that hype...gud match tho!!! I thought Triple H delaying the pin trying to sell how hurt he was, really kind of buried him here, u can here the groans of disappointment from the crowd who wanted him to kick out. Glad Booker T won the title eventually though, but it was a shame that it didn`t really matter as much tho!

[MobKnowledge]

Triple H delaying the pin wasn't a burial; it was him selling the damage he'd taken from Booker throughout the match.

[Bale4Bond]

@MobKnowledge yes, of course.

It was a burial. plain and simple. no one (except you and some other blue-eyed people) would ever argue about that ...

[MobKnowledge]

@Bale4Bond I'm Samoan, so you "blue-eyed" ad-hominem attack fails. If it was really a burial, Trips would've gotten up after the pedigree, taunted the crowd a bit, then pinned Booker with his boot, like Jericho would always do. Then, him and Flair would do the Nature Boy walk around Booker's unconscious body and all the way up the ramp.

But, wait, none of that happened, and Triple H wouldn't have made it backstage had Flair not carried him, because he was selling Booker damn-near killing him.

[Bale4Bond]

@MobKnowledge i don't really care if you are samoan (you're eye colour wasn't the point).

It's just a saying like "break a leg".

1. We all know that Triple H didn't like working with Booker. He told Vince multiple times, that he wouldn't lie down for him (that fact was mentioned many times in wrestling-magazines such as Pro Wrestling Illustrated and the Fighting Spirit Magazine).

2. I have my opinions and so do you. It was just some constructive criticism.

[ipswichtown2742]

Personally, this is one of my favorite Wrestlemania matches. I thought both of them were absolutely spectacular. But the crowd response is always so disappointing. I never understood why they didn't get into this match.

[420goonie]

indian deathlock was awesome

[funny3696]

Its annoying that booker t was never good in the wwe. He was much better in wcw where he won five more world titles than he did in wwe. I dont blame sting for staying away from wwe. Besides goldberg, the wwe ruined pretty much every wcw superstar.

[rointz]

@funny3696 Every WCW superstar deserved to be screwed !!! Including Goldberg. You know why ??? Because every WCW superstar thought that the business was all about them and that the world revolves around them... Thats the prime reason why wcw isnt around anymore... WCW was a shitty company and so were its superstars...

[cruherrx]

@rointz My god you're an idiot. No commas. You are an absolute idiot.

[NewYorkKidd]

The racial overtones going into this match was just bad...this match was good..but man after HHH did that big ass burial promo against Booker T and WCW...Booker T should've won the title..i wouldn't have cared if he lost the title like 2 weeks later but damn at least keep the rivalry interesting..rather than jus gettin buried.

[NMFlemzy]

Booker should have won =(

[MuffinManTF]

This was a good match but the only reason I watch it more and more is because Jerry Lawler had me rolling in this match. :P

"Clumsy Booker T fell off down the steps!"

[chan14dy]

honestly i think it shouldve been triple h vs booker t vs scott steiner

[Heavyweightchampionx]

@chan14dy That would have been tight

[McHardLuk]

can you imagine if at no way out before this steiner had beat Triple H and Steiner vs Booker T was a WM main event lol

[TheGameDXHHH]

@McHardLuk Yea, it would absolutely suck........

[KatieLeaIsAGoddess]

@TheGameDXHHH I agree. I mean, Steiner's matches with Triple H sucked, so why would Booker vs Steiner be any better?

[rointz]

@McHardLuk That would have been shitty.... Any PPV without Triple H completely sucks... There are only three wrestlers who are all time legends in terms of super stardom... THE ROCK, STONE COLD and TRIPLE H...

[FireKracker44]

wow that was an abrupt end...too quick

[d21lewis]

I saw this live (on PPV) and I thought Booker had killed Triple H when he landed on Helmsley's head off of the top rope. Awesome match!

[AnimayeIsGaye]

@d21lewis

Too bad he didn't...

[aruiz90]

HHH and HBK both won at this WM and they both should've lost.

[extremeernie]

that match was a fraud booker was suppose 2 win

[Danthepest1]

you can actually hear JR's annoyance at King's nonsense. I know King was supposed to root for the heels, but he was just annoying and retarded in this match. "oh look, Ric is just helping Booker T back into the ring!" "that was very disrespectful on the part of Booker T"

seriously? He was so much better during the 90s. After 2000, his heel commentary was just bleh.

[ArtofDestiny]

@Danthepest1 You didn't like that? That was Classic JR & King commentary.

[HunterAeris]

Booker really did deserve the win. To bad he wasn't World Champion in the E until his horrid King Booker gimmick. However, no one can blame Triple H for being champion, as he was damn good at it and during this era, he was one of the only dependable people who could carry the company.

[EdwardCletusKasidy]

@HunterAeris

No doubt he's dependable but during that period, Triple H cared more about himselfy. Raw was shit during that time though so it can't be helped since the next feud after this was against fking kevin nash in one of the worst series of matches ever. Not to mention the elimination chamber debacle where for some reason, rather than simply letting goldberg destroy and win the title, Haitch had to beat him first making all that build for goldberg mean nothing.

[rointz]

@EdwardCletusKasidy Elimination chamber match was awesome !!! I loved the part where GOLDBERG got his ass kicked. He deserved every bit of it !!! I was sick and tired of his undefeated streak in WCW and I didn't wanna see his streak in WWE... Goldberg winning a lot of matches means burying the entire roster for one superstar. Triple H is a talent and the championship looks good around him...

[Heavyweightchampionx]

@HunterAeris Yeah you made some really good points here. I do think they should have had Booker either win here, or get a rematch at the next ppv and win though. Even if the belt wasnt on a 'huge name' wrestler, they could have put him against popular people like hbk

[sonnyjason2]

@HunterAeris You are right.

[AnimayeIsGaye]

@HunterAeris

Like it would have broke the company to have Booker as champ for a month.

[Fifa155]

@HunterAeris

Bullshit? HHH carry the company ? Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle,Undertaker those guys carry company 2002-2003.

[MrAweeze]

@Fifa155 no, undertaker carried the company before hunter's time, early 90s. undertaker was past his prime at this point.

[Fifa155]

@MrAweeze

Is hard to tell, when Undertaker have his Prime.

[rointz]

@Fifa155 HHH carried the company SHITHEAD !!! Brock Lesnar had just joined the company in 2002... Kurt Angle and The Undertaker were in SMACKDOWN... Triple H was the world Heavyweight champion for the most part of 2002-2004 and was the face of RAW... SUCK IT if you can't face the facts !!!

[JiggityJack]

@HunterAeris Already said countless times, but there were plenty of people that could carry the company better than HHH, especially at this time

[officialkingofbass]

@HunterAeris good?? fuckin faggot cheated! thanx to evolution n ric flair.. without them he's nothing he can't do it without them or his sledge hammer..

[Israel5234]

JR and King's commentary is honestly what made this match watchable lol

[mindphreak4money]

Watching this match reminds me, why Triple H is the epitome of Sports Entertainment. He always knew how to play his cards right. That's how he got the nicknames, "The Game" and "The Cerebral Assassin". For anyone who says that he "hogged" the title. Triple H kept the belt, because he meant MONEY to The McMahon family. He put asses in the seats. And he shows his accumen both inside and outside the ring. "Its all about the Game. And How You Play It"

[EdwardCletusKasidy]

@mindphreak4money

Oh please. The game nickname was supposed to be given to owen hart, not triple H but his death obviously scrapped that. He had lots of backstage power which is why he got to where he is. Part of the clique who's destroyed plenty of wrestler's careers, His buddy Shawn even tried to bury the rock to get triple H ahead. No doubt triple H is great but there's also no doubting he abused backstage powers to get where he is. Also, being son in law of the boss helps.

[mindphreak4money]

@EdwardCletusKasidy It amazes me how pple get bent out of shape, just because Triple H aka Levesque uses the system, to fit his own agenda. Like other wrestlers before him haven't used their power to keep themselves on top. Ric Flair for example. Levesque uses anyone and EVERYONE to keep himself in the spotlight. Such is the way of the world. 99% of people would do the same, if they were in his shoes. Its simply a fact of the world we live in. "Its all about the GAME, and HOW YOU PLAY IT!"

[richmac82]

This is one of HHH's better WrestleMania matches.

[jaa5054]

FLAIR HAS NO BUSINESS UP THERE DAMNIT. NO BUSINESS

[001989]

@jaa5054 Best quote of the whole match and one of JR's best!

[youngsino86]

There was absolutely no good reason 4 Booker 2 lose this match

[Royberg]

@youngsino86 yeah i remember them showing an intro about booker t's hard upbringing, trouble with the law, etc. i honestly thought it was going to be his night

[thewatcher180]

Booker T really deserved the belt back in 03 but Triple H hogged the shit out of it.

[murph3000]

The Harlem Hangover is still one of the best finishing moves in the business....

[reivenlocke]

23 seconds between pedigree and pinfall. Fuck you, Triple Bitch.

[rointz]

@reivenlocke Your mom is a bitch.... you son of a bitch !!!

[reivenlocke]

@rointz

Cry more.

[rointz]

@reivenlocke You and guys like you cry on whatever Triple H does... whine and cry and moan about it... complain about it.... Guys like you envy other people's success. Guys like you credit Triple H's success on his marriage and that without it he would have been nowhere. Get off the drugs IDIOT !!! Triple H is one of the greatest talents the wrestling industry has ever produced. Booker T was a good wrestler but he wasn't great. He sucked on mic and had a lame gimmick too... PERIOD !!!

[reivenlocke]

@rointz

Cry more.

[TheECW911]

a very great match hope triple h becomes a heel again!

[Hamza0343]

This was the best match ive seen booker t com pit in this match made me become a booker t fan
