So Booker is no longer even a special attraction anymore, he is just some guy feuding with Robert Roode, remember what happened to the last guy who feuded with Robert Roode?
He was built up, hyped with a viral campaign, starts a feud with Christian that doesn't have an ending, and is nowhere near the main event spot.
Seems like Booker T has already become Rhino

It's been said that Booker T is officially the latest guy TNA dropped the ball with.
I haven't watched, so I can't really say.

I don't know that they've killed him. It's not as if he was doing anything in the months following his title loss in WWE up till now anyway.
Besides, if was immediately put in the title picture we'd have the opposite threads talking about WWE rejects immediately getting title matches etc.

I wouldnt, I am so tired of Cage and Angle, and very excited for Booker coming in at becoming champ.

it's only been a month!
people would complain either way. either he's being misused and is buried, or he's being given everything and is burying the 'TNA talent'. No-win with some people

for the record I would have been happy for him the "bury" the talent. He cant have done much worse then TNA has already done. They are very good at burying their guys

I think it's becoming easier and easier to pick up on TNA hate now.
TNA sucks, because they bring in lots of old WWE talent and don't push their own talent, or so I'm told.
So Booker T goes in a feud with a homegrown talent, and because he hasn't been in the main picture in TNA, the ball has been dropped and he's been killed off.
Yeap.

Just before the end, they told him it was nothing personal, just business. A giant fish was left on the doorstep of Titan Towers only a few days later.

Yeah but its Robert Roode, someone who is not good and was feuding with of all people Eric Young and Rikishi, they dont care about Robert Roode, and so they dont care about Booker T...
Point is he was brought in to get viewers, he was an attraction, he was Booker T in TNA, the hottest free agent on the market, now he is the guy feuding with Roode, they hyped him to do nothing.

I think they're pissed he didn't bring in viewers.

Robert Roode didn't feud with Rikishi. He had a match with Rikishi. After Eric, he was feuding with Kaz, and then went from the Christian Coalition to alone to the Angle Alliance. Why can't he feud with Roode? He's basically the entry feud for them, Like Monty Brown was for Cage and Joe was for Angle. |

You might not like Robert Roode, but stating that he sucks, and thus the person he is feuding with must also suck, is pretty ridiculous.
Theyve obviously been trying to push him for a while now. He had a clean win over Jeff Jarrett of all people early last year. He feuded with Kaz, who was in the midst of a push to the top. They stuck him with Samoa Joe trying to get him over (although im sure your claim is that it was simply a Joe de-push...), they put him alongside Angle and Cage, put him in impact main events, gave him a long running (probably too long) storyline (Brooks/Rain), and paired him in a feud with Booker T. They have given him substantial mic time, and he actually draws a ton of heat in the impact zone (yes, i realize thats not the best meter to go by).
Doesnt sound like they dont care about Roode to me.

The difference is Monty Brown and Joe we'rent just established wrestlers they were good and people cared about their matches so for them to put someone over is different then Roode |

You evil genius! Turning this into a Russo hate thread, everyone will jump on that bandwagon. But me, because Roode and T have yet to have a reverse battle royal item on a pole match...

Do you have proof of that? What if I said I had an insider source that said Roode did in fact have a lot to do with the death of WCW? |

did anybody think maybe Booker is trying to help get over a guy that TNA has been trying to push for 2 years now?
But as someone else already said. If he was headlining the next ppv, people would be bashing TNA for pushing an ex-wwe guy over a homegrown talent. Some people just like to hate TNA
