WWE Funniest Moment #3: Booker T sings "Sexy Boy."

Remember when Booker T joined the NWO? Us neither, except for one hilarious exception.

The NWO was one of the greatest story lines and/or angles of all time in professional wrestling. Did it overstay its welcome? Absolutely, but that doesn't change the fact that at the time it turned the entire industry on its head.

The days before the internet meant that fans genuinely experienced surprise and a sort of belief that the NWO really WAS out to destroy WCW, despite being under contract with the company.

Of course, the Monday Night Wars ended with WWE purchasing World Championship Wrestling and all of its video and copyrighted material. This meant that WWE could legally use the NWO gimmick, and they did so. Booker T, long an opponent of the NWO, strangely sided with Nash and X Pac. When HBK chose to join, there was some suspicions that he wouldn't be loyal. So Booker T decided to sing HBK's theme song, Sexy Boy, albeit with some alternative lyrics.

The result is one of the zaniest moments of all time. Nash and X Pac could barely keep a straight face.

Booker had a comic timing like no other, and this is just another example of his triat.
