I love Booker T but damn did he slum his TNA stint. When I talk about TNA hiring guys who was more about putting themselves over than trying to help the company, Booker is one of the main offenders. He stop giving a f*** about his wrestling and did things for his amusement. Yet TNA kept rewarding him because he was a big star in WCW and WWE. It's the TNA way.

That dude brought it everywhere else but there he could give no f***s whatsoever.

I remember him doing an injury spot where he was completely over the top selling it. "OOOOOHH MY BACK....AAAAAAWWWWGGHHH MAN! MAHBACK! OOOOOHHH OH OH OHHHHHWWW!!" Wasn't that during the Full Metal Mayhem Clusterf*** for the TNA and IWGP World Tag Titles? Damn shame. At least Big Poppa Pump gave it his all.

Booker did shit all, suffered an "injury," was carted out and Steiner worked the rest of the match, taking bumps, doing all his signature spots, and looking like a workhorse, even though you knew he was in pain.

Don't do much but just cash that check. The same with Rob Van Dam.

Yea for every Christian who came in to boost his profile and help the company in the process there are examples of Booker T and RVD dragging their ass on the ground and being rewarded for it.

One of TNA's worst signing. Over paid, never drew money, never been that good in the ring made even worse with him getting older. At least he had some funny moments. I think TNA just wanted to make headlines saying they've signed "the hottest free agent in pro wrestling"

Booker's TNA legacy, as told by Gerard Gerard.
-Feud with Roode. Loses the singles, wins the tag-team matches. -Gets smacked around by Joe. -Midi version of his WCW/WWE theme. -MEM and accents. -Inspired the WWE Universal title by dragging around a useless red toy that not even AJ Stlyes would be able to save. -Sabotaged plans to reunite MEM by returning to WWE, along with Nash.

I remember when he left, TNA actually slammed him because they invented a belt just to make him happy, let him do all these stupid accents he wanted and pushed him hard and he gave NOTHING back.

I popped for his Frankensteiner from the top.

Didn't he also feud with a referee? I like Booker.T but it was clear he didn't give a shit in TNA.

-Midi version of his WCW/WWE theme. which doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense as it's a production theme.
