Would you say Booker T's WM 19 loss basically killed his career?

Yea, I know he had a reign as World Heavyweight champion in 2006, but it seemed like that title reign just followed in the steps of his 5 WCW title reigns, meaning that when he won it, it was 'too late', and didnt mean as much as it would of had they given it to him at the right time. Booker was HOT in 2003, probably the hottest he had been in a long time. at that time. I think the way they booked him leading up to 'Mania 19, and the way he was fighting for all the African Americans who were supposedly held down in the business, it was the PERFECT time to give him a run as World champion. After that loss to HHH, I dont think he ever recovered from that, and hasnt been near as hot since.
