Jeff Jarrett On His Match Against Booker T From Bash At The Beach 2000
Jeff Jarrett who was the WCW world heavyweight champion back then laid down for Hogan so that he could pin him and win the title. It look more like Hogan screwed up the officials for himself. The decision was reverted later on and the title was given back to Jarrett.
Jarrett faced Booker T for the title on the main event of the show. Booker T won the match and got the title. It was the first of the four original WCW world heavyweight title reigns of Booker T. He got his fifth WCW title reign after WWE took over the promotion.
Jeff Jarrett who is a four times WCW World Heavyweight champion recently spoke on My World Podcast where he talked about his WCW world heavyweight championship match against Booker T from Bash at the Beach 2000 pay per view event of WCW. He said;
“When I look back, and I don’t want to get too deep into this, but the role of Booker winning his first World Title under these circumstances, and knowing now that it created 4 or 5 years of litigation, me laying down, Hogan putting his foot on me, and all that mess and junk, and knowing that we turned a real black eye negative, just disastrous type of chess moves.
But we turned that around, and me and Booker went out and literally gave the fans something to cheer about, that’s one of my favorite matches of all-time.”
