I seem to recall it was Book who was ripping the Rock off back in WCW when he was getting his big singles push. Maybe not intentionally. After all it wasn't quite as blatant as it was with The Juice. I always thought The Juice gimmick was just supposed to parody the Rock. I don't recall that he was ever taken seriously on screen. Anyway I like Booker, but it was hard not to see the similarities in the two characters after he won the belt. I'd say it was intentional due to the fact that the way he dressed and acted drastically changed. I don't remember him using the Book End as a finisher at all up to that point. It's possible he might have busted it out sometime. But him suddenly using it as a finisher, giving it a similar name, and everything else along with it makes cooincidence just a bit too much to swallow.

This is the issue with doing sarcastic comedy in a written only interview. You can't perceive it at all.

In the 2nd article, it seems like he was kidding when he said that. as it said he said it with a chuckle. That, and they already had a feud based on a supposed theft of style by Rock. This is patently obviously a joke on his part.

I'll always remember when Booker T was first given the title in WCW. Commentary spent the entire night saying how it was so nice to have a fresh champion, one who got by on ability and didn't rely on catch phrases.
Now, true... he still had "Can you dig it, sucka!" but what made it ironic is that very night he debuted "Don't hate the playa, hate the game" and at least one other catch phrase he proceeded to... rely on.

did you read the article? it wasn't about John, it was about how the Young Wrestlers need to be more innovative. Sure it wasn't directly, but it's just to make the guy look like a s***heel, in the market where the show is happening, it not like he gave this to the Wisconsin media or something. It's all well thought out. Why they're so stupid to do something like this is a whole other thing. THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO CHEER CENA! Serioulsy, will you stop with that blatant lie? They already made it quite clear that they are going for a Team Edward/Team Jacob thing. You can't seem to grasp that for some reason.

I wonder if Goldberg will accuse the Rock of stealing his looks. That depends. Will Goldberg be allowed to call Rock "Whisker Biscuit"?

Cole: "SHUCKY DUCKY!" Josh: "WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE!" Booker: "You guys are stealing mah stuff, man! MAH SIGNUTCHA STUFF!" I laughed when Cole stole Booker's catchphrases and Booker told him stop jacking his quotes.
