Booker Huffman Jr.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Texas Divorces, 1968 – 2002 )〕 (born March 1, 1965),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Booker T's bio )〕 better known by his ring name Booker T, is an American professional wrestler, promoter, color commentator and reformed felon who is currently signed with WWE as part of the broadcast team on SmackDown. He is also the owner and founder of the independent promotion Reality of Wrestling (ROW) in his hometown of Houston, Texas. Booker is best known for his time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E), and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), holding 35 championships between those organizations. He is the most decorated wrestler in WCW history, having held 21 titles including a record six WCW World Television Championships, and a record ten WCW World Tag Team Championships as one half of Harlem Heat with his brother, Lash "Stevie Ray" Huffman〔 (he had an eleventh reign in the WWF with Test).〔〔 Booker is a six time world champion, having won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship five times (four times in WCW, and once in the WWF) and WWE's World Heavyweight Championship once.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Championship History: World Heavyweight )〕 He is the first non-mixed race African American to become a world champion in WWE, and was voted the greatest World Heavyweight Champion of all time in a 2013 WWE viewer poll.〔(The WWE Universe's picks for best champions ever ). WWE. September 15, 2013. Retrieved September 16, 2013.〕 Booker has also gained notable success as a tag team wrestler, being a 15-time world tag team champion between WCW (11 times), WWF/E (three times), and TNA (once). Additionally, he was the winner of the King of the Ring tournament in 2006, the sixteenth Triple Crown Champion and the ninth Grand Slam Champion in WWE history. As the ninth (and final) Triple Crown Champion in WCW history, Booker is one of four men in history to achieve both the WWE and WCW Triple Crowns. Booker was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 6, 2013 by his brother, Lash Huffman (Stevie Ray). == Early life == Booker was born the youngest of eight children, in Houston's South Park neighborhood.〔〔 By the time Booker was fourteen, both of his parents had died, and his older brother Lash "Stevie Ray" Huffman〔 stepped in to raise him and his siblings.〔 In high school, Booker Huffman was a drum major.〔 He also played touch football and basketball.〔 Booker is a convicted felon who spent nineteen months in prison after pleading guilty to armed robberies at Wendy's restaurants in Houston. Booker and his partners wore Wendy's uniforms during the holdups since they had been working there for 2½ years. Because of the gunmen's uniforms and familiarity with the fast food chain's operations, police suspected the robberies were inside jobs—and it didn't take long before Huffman and three other men were found. Booker pleaded guilty in December 1987 to two aggravated robbery counts and was sentenced to five years in prison. He was released after serving about one-third of that term, and was placed on parole until April 1992. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Booker T (wrestler)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
