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. Booker T I thought has always been a team player but for some reason he tends to clash with TNA management a lot. WWE is the place for him anyway.

Oh, don't forget that Booker pulled this primadonna b.s. whenever his contract came up in WWE as well.

Only disagreements with management I can remember were regarding the Wellness policy. He demanding to sit in on creative meetings, threatening retirement unless he got his wife brought on the road with him and, fighting with Batista .

The fight with Batista seemed like a more personal issue, which I recall much of the SD locker room agreeing with Booker on that occasion. I know he wanted Sharmell on the road with him, but it did lead him to becoming more motivated in his role. I'm not denying he made some requests, I just don't know if it was a power play or not.

If Booker T does return to WWE he will need to change from before but looks like he went to TNA and did not change at all which was ok because TNA needs star power but WWE has so many big names they will not accept this.
I feel if Booker T returned he would not be as big as he once was.

On one hand, Booker didn't leave on good terms.
On the other, 3 of WWE's top draws (Michaels, Undertaker, "Big" Dave Batista) will probably be gone from the company within the next 12-18 months, and UFC is apparently only getting bigger and more popular. Also, Smackdown isn't on a real TV network anymore.
I'd imagine that if Booker really wanted to, he could probably end up talking his way back into a job at Titan Towers. Whether he actually went anywhere in the company is a different story.
If things got desperate, I can see them pushing him on Raw or Smackdown. Otherwise, he might not make a bad long-reigning coward heel champ on ECW.

TNA may sort out his problems and try to keep him around? Booker T has not been used well we all must agree on this.

I mean they can try and work things out but one thing we all must be able to agree on is TNA have not used him well at all.

I hope WWE re-signs him and tarnishes his image to the point where his whole career is a joke. Job him to HHH so many times that even Jericho says "Damn"
Hell, after that give him a losing streak gimmick on ECW that never sees a payoff.

I feel he could do a lot on the Smackdown or Raw brand.

If Booker T does not get what he wants then he may stay with TNA or not work with any wrestling product then again we have Hogans tour? Booker T still works well so WWE would be smart to sign him.

If they're pushing "the originals", people can go "why are they not using their established talent?" and vice versa as well. Booker belonged in the main event picture and he was (feud with Joe). But, in the end, Styles and Joe are more important than him and he rightfully lost those feuds. Then, instead of discarding him, they put him in a team with Scott Steiner which I thought was a perfect use of both men. It seems that, if you're not pushed to the top, apparently you were "misused". Remember when he came in, Booker said he wasn't interested in being the top guy in TNA, he was there to help the future. He's changed his tune cause he's unhappy, wants to go back to the E and won't job out. Understandable, I guess...if not unprofessional.

Ah so he's looking to retire, I think it'd be awesome if he goes to WWE and is the big feud for Morrison or maybe he ends up on ECW, Bookdust/JeriShow would be off the chain

If Booker can barely go working a few days a month, what makes people think he will be a level above dog shit in WWE?

I was a big fan of Booker T in his days as WCW champ because I thought he was great as the fighting champ and brought stability back to the title but now i could really care less about him. WWE misused him more than TNA ever could have and from what I've seen he's never really delivered the in ring goods for TNA. Those two matches with Joe were just brutal to watch and they were the freakin main events!

He said he would like his final match with HBK in a interview not long ago. They may work on this if he goes back to WWE?
