Look at this article.... slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2007/12/08/4714607.htmlBooker T claims that he was set up in the steroid probe. He claims to have never ordered anything online, and his name was just thrown in by managment. He believes they wanted a "huge" name suspended to look better for the media. Then look at the pic of Booker. BOOKER IS ON THE JUICE! Simply put...he got caught, didn't want to quit, and went to a place where juicing is A-Ok...TNA. Man, Bookers non sense is pissing me off. I used to like the Booker man too, but lately I think hes wrong and a liar. |

Well, we can all be glad that Cena, Batista and HHH are "clean". WWE would never eeeeeeeever protect their "important juicers" by sacrificing "less important juicers"...
Booker is probably pissed about WWE's hypocricy and I can totally understand that. I would probably rather lie and say that I'm clean than to tell the truth but ratting out fellow superstars whose use is protected by the company.
AND COME ON! It's obvious! Cena's size has NOT decreased like Masters' and Conway's. How stupid would he have been, if he DID NOT use steroids before? How likely would it be for a muscular guy to NOT be on roids, while all your colleagues still are, THOUGH they have slowly decreased in size since, say, Eddie's death.
Open your eyes and use your brain! Eddie's death and the wellness policy may have lead to a more moderate use of steroids, trying to look muscular without being ridiculously roided up, but the use is still there. Especially those with the company and money behind them (HHH, Cena, Batista) can afford to still use them without the fear of getting caught.
I would be as pissed as Booker and rather work in a company that is wellness-hypocricy-free and has ridiculously roided up guys like Steiner walkin around plus a lighter schedule where you don't have to rely on taking steroids to stay big with all the stress.

Well, in all honesty..if the guy is or isn't on steroids..he's simply not going to come out and state that he has taken them.
He's starting up a new run in TNA and I'm sure he doesn't want his name run through the dirt.

Yeah, I'd love to see how Booker thinks the WWE did this. Booker's name came up in a criminal investigation and was then turned over to the WWE.

Meh, I don't see why it's our business or concern who's taking performance enhancers and not.

If this was true he would make a bigger deal out of it. Seriously.
Like, if I got fired from a job, and I did the thing I got fired for, I would probably make excuses for myself. (Not saying Booker got fired, using this as an example since I would get fired from a much smaller scale job) But if I got fired for something I DIDN'T do....then I would fight it. And if was for being accused of something like USING ROIDS when I didn't...I'd sue. Big time.
Booker's lying and making excuses for himself since he's long gone into TNA. If he wasn't lying, he'd be suing.
And Vince would be laughing.
I love Booker to death but seriously...Grow up. You're gone. It's done. The end. You are a former WWE champion thus TNA's big thing with Kurt Angle. You have your wife referencing years old WWE storylines, so please, just move on. You're not King Booker anymore. You're Booker T-N-A. Let us just like you there.

I still like Booker. I will always like Booker short of his killing people.

In his defense (and anyone who has paid attention for the last 6 months knows that I have NEVER defended Booker on this) he wasn't fired, he just refused to sign a new contract |

It's Booker's business whether he did or didn't; I do think it's debatable how 'HUGE' a name he'd be for the media despite the fact that I like him alot.

To be fair Booker hasn't said he's never taken steroids or performance enhancers. All he's said is that he didn't order from this pharmacy.
The fact that he was willing to quit over the matter, when almost every other big star was willing to take their suspension and come back, might say something.
I don't know, I'm not saying he's completely accurate, but... something's strange about this whole situation. Oh and as far's as suing Vince and the company, it may be a matter where Booker simply does want to have to deal with a long drawn out battle and court, especially with McMahon's lawyers. Much easier to quit, and just make his point in the media.

I just think he is setting a bad example and hurting the business. If you are fired by WWE for steroids and don't want to stop using? Well, just deny and go to TNA.
At least Angle admitted he had a problem and was dealing with it. How could WWE add Booker to that list when it was completly independent from the company?

Booker, you've got a second chance with a new company. Don't blow it with crap like this.

I recenly read something about how some of the people who were suspended back in August, were not necesarily because of wellness violations, but because their names were simply on the pharmacy list. It may be that Booker didn't fail any actual test, but his name was mentioned, and thus that's why he was suspended.

I just love how people believe John Cena, a guy who wanted to become a bodybuilder, would never of taken steroids at any point in his career.

Say as you will but him blaming the WWE for his stupidity is the dumbest shit ever, your name was on the list take some responsibility.
Say what you want about Cena, H, Batista whoever they have been smart enough to not have their names turn up in any steroid lists or probes....

C'mon, you know that WWE knows they're doing roids too, WWE just covers more for them because of moychandizing. Sure but they are smart enough to not test positive or have their names show up on any lists......does it make it perfectly fine, not really. But Booker has no one but himself to blame for his stupidity of having his name on that list. My only issue with this is Booker trying to use a conspiracy theory scenario to cover for him basically doing something dumb. |

How do you know for a fact that Cena, Batista, and HHH are not clean. Batista's name was put up, but was quickly removed because he was mistakenly listed. It's true he did go through his lawyers and got them to remove his name. If this was the same with Booker, he could have done the same, but he didn't. |
