Don't forget that Booker was fired from WWE for refusing rehab on a 60 day Wellness suspension. He might have to jump threw some big hoops to get back, which I personally doubt happens. It was the same situation as Rey's recent deal was it not? |

It was the same situation as Rey's recent deal was it not? I think Rey's claim was that he had a valid prescription for the drug he failed the test for. WWE's basically said that it didn't matter because he needed to clear it ahead of time and didn't. On topic, I don't expect to see him in WWE any time soon. He really wouldn't contribute all that much to the current product. |

If he goes back to the WWE I hope he likes the letters F C W Fixed for how Vince probably feels about him seeing as how he left the last time. He's friends with Taker? Goody, he's best friends with a guy who will probably be gone in less than a year. Good. Get him out and wind down MEM. I was a huge fan of his in WCW and WWE but his MEM stuff is crap. |

Which led to him asking for his release? |

Again, like I don't think its a huge stretch to have a guy like Booker back in some capacity. He's kept his mouth shut for the most part regarding most criticism against WWE (unlike Angle) and at the very least could be utilized for a six month stretch on one of the shows.
Vince has forgiven far more than what Booker did.

You know, it's weird, but ever since he appeared, Booker's always felt like he was never really there. He hasn't done a lot to stand out like he did at WWE, even from the get-go. Not like Christian and Angle before him. It's odd, especially seeing how much his character has been all over the place.
I still like Booker, I think he's a talented guy, but TNA has never felt like a natural fit for him.

I'm as big of a Booker fan as anyone, but good for TNA for calling his bluff.

WWE claims to have fired him while Booker claims to have quit. He also claims that he was set up and never ordered the drugs that got him popped despite delivery conformation showing he signed for the stuff. He was pissed about that, the stuff with Batista and, his fed getting passed over for FCW in the developmental shake up. |

Thank god. How can someone who sucked so badly, never drew a penny in his life ($2.75 sucka!) have such a big ego? The last few years he has been awful. Mic work- worst ever. Ring work- hes like a bad parody of a wrestler y'know the kind you see on tv/movies that deliberately try to look as fake as possible. And he has the cheek to call himself a legend. Good riddance moron. Only way WWE's taking him back is if he replaces Chavo's role, i mean Chavo sucks but at least he tries, and is a pretty nice guy.

If he goes back to the E, he'll be put on ECW. I have no question about that.

Given WWE's talent shortage, I'd say they'd be at least somewhat glad to take Booker back.

What I find odd is why Booker's behavior would start now.
He lost to Roode at Destination X 2008, he lost to Samoa Joe in every encounter they had, lost to AJ twice in two matches for the Legend's Title. Not to mention the number of losses he took in MEM team matches. Plus there was no mention of anything like this kind of attitude when he was in WWE.
It just seems strange.

TNA obviously doesn't appreciate him or his accomplishments. Oh yeah. Poor Booker. Not even trying anymore but he has "accomplishments". Someone tell A.J. Styles to just hand his title to Booker out of appreciation. TNA has treated Booker just fine. |

I'd love to have Booker back in WWE. Never been a huge fan of him, but he's a decent enough hand and either Raw or SmackDown could benefit from his presence at the moment.

Booker's on his way out of TNA, he knows it, and is being a primadonna about it.
His in-ring work in TNA has been sub-par at best, he's supposedly selfish backstage, and clearly has a massively inflated opinion of both his current value and his supposed legacy to the business.
TNA should be glad to see the back of him, and WWE should turn all the lights out in Titan Towers and pretend no-one's home the moment they see him coming up the street.

I feel Booker T has been misused by TNA since his debut. I mean I always liked him in WWE and feel he will slot right back in. I would not mind seeing him on WWE TV.

Was Book on good terms with the Jarret guys who have been released. A lot of times when your company shifts underneath you it can really spoil your attitude. Up until now he has seemed like a team player in TNA.
