Great, another former WCW/WWE guy. Another mound of dirt to bury the new talent. Hopefully he'll get to work with guys like Storm, Harris, Roode, Styles, etc., and even put them over. He'd match up pretty nicely with those guys. See he went to RAW and was booked weakly, he didn't like to be booked as a non-threat. So he goes to TNA to get the treatment he deserves. Which means strong booking, lots of wins, and main events. He's not going to waste time with guys in the midcard, with nobodies. He's going to wrestle main events and win. |

I'm going to ignore the debate and say, "I'll wait and see."
I like Booker, so it'll be interesting to see him work in a new environment.
I wish TNA and him the best.

The difference between Booker T and guys like Sting and The Dudleyz is that Booker T still has something to offer.

It's amazing how Kurt Angle can even get a ton of segments on a thread about Booker T..... You make me grin, good sir. Not a bad point at all. |

To be completely frank, I don't. Booker has been in a lot of mid-south indie wrestling territories, and WCW itself, and they don't really operate that differently from TNA (and I don't mean that TNA is doomed to go down like WCW, hear me out). From the interviews that I've seen from WCW wrestlers as part of the Alliance, they were pretty shocked to find out the amount of politics and no-saying in the booking process of WWE once they got bought out. Booker would find TNA's booking familiar. Which is good, because he'd know how to handle any curveballs that TNA might try and throw at him with his experience in the business. He'd be able to tell you what wouldn't work, and since he's worked with the type of audience that TNA are used to booking for, he'd know it, and chances are they'd believe him. Hope that made sense. Fair enough. But, like every other golden opportunity TNA's had, I can't help but think, "Okay, so how will they screw this one up?" Til they get RVD and forget about the 6 other "major acquisistions" that they've had completely |

Tomko had been in Japan for some time between, so I wouldn't really count him. Then there's AJ, sort of, and Daniels, sometimes. Didn't Tomko go to Japan after his WWE run? I swear that Japan has a bigger hard on for useless gaijin hosses than what Vince does  Oddly most big men in Japan put on better matches because they don't have to work safe style. Mainly because in Japan you can't phone it in or suck. If you suck you don't get matches. Seriously, Vader was always awesome but watch one of his Japan matches. Man's a legit beast in the ring. |

As long as he's not doing his "Kind Booker" gimmick under a different name, I'm all for Booker T in TNA. Moreso because PWA likely will be adopted as a much-needed developmental territory for TNA, but I think Booker can still do some good on the mic. I'm indifferent to Booker wrestling, though.

Is "Kind Booker" him being really nice? "Tell me he didn't just say that mean thing to you! You're a good person, and you deserve appreciation!" *hands them a Dum Dum pop" "Hey, thanks Booker! Butterscotch is my favorite." "Glad you dig that..... SUCKAAAAAAAAA!" |

Which will likely be gone after working in TNA for more than 6 months. yeah when tna overbooks him to the point where a Book match is pretty irrellevant How'd they do that to Kurt Angle and Sting? I have no clue. Oh if they give him a Kind Booker gimmick, i'd mark. He'd team with Sonjay Dutt |
