Booker T – May 9
Directed by Emmy and Peabody Award winner George Roy (“The Curse of the Bambino”, “Mayweather”), “Biography: Booker T” showcases one of the greatest Superstars in sports entertainment history. Booker T is an 11-time WCW Tag Team Champion, a six-time World Champion, winner of the 2006 King of the Ring Tournament, and a two-time (2013 and 2019) inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame. In addition to his Hall of Fame career in the ring, Booker T also went on to become a color commentator for WWE’s weekly programming.
Shawn Michaels – May 16
Directed by Joe Lavine (ESPN 30 for 30 “Playing for the Mob,” HBO “Namath”), “Biography: Shawn Michaels” chronicles the wild life of one of WWE’s greatest performers and most enduring villains. After drug addiction nearly cost him his life, Shawn Michaels, aka “The Heartbreak Kid,” made one of the most improbable late-career comebacks in WWE history. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011.
– WWE released a full Raw handicap match for the WWE and Intercontinental titles on May 15, 2006. The match featured John Cena and Rob Van Dam against Triple H, Shelton, Benjamin and Chris Masters. You can see the match video below:
