- According to Jason Powell, Booker T will be jumping ship back to WWE once his TNA contract expires next month.
Originally he came in to TNA enthusiastic about helping the younger guys but as time has gone on he’s reportedly “gone in to business for himself” and has often challenged booking decisions. A recent incident saw him refuse to job to Matt Morgan who is being positioned as a top star.
There was also the incident in Switzerland where he walked out from the main event after Scott Steiner ripped the Swiss flag and fans went crazy throwing chairs.
It’s unsure whether WWE has contacted him, so if they don’t answer his calls we may still see him stay with the company. If they want him.
- Steve Austin recently filmed an episode of the NBC action-comedy Chuck. It will air after March 2010.
- During Raw the Wilkes-Barre A fan broke their ankle diving to catch John Cena’s hat. Fortunately when the kid was being taken to get it checked out he was given free merchandise anyway.

anyone else see cena drop the blade during the hell in a cell match with orton, wwe keep taking the video down off youtube but keeps finding its way back on. there are people saying it was just something thrown in but u can clearly see the blade drop from cenas sweat band and referee scoop it up after seeing it aqnd putting it in pocket. means blading in wwe is still a regular occurance
I don’t know about that sjcrows. I mean when was the last time you saw blood on WWE TV??
Booker T back to WWE ? NOOOOO !!!
I was so sickened by his campy King Booka stint. In my opinion it would be a waste of money even if he got 29 cents an hour.
Facts are facts he has no market value his wrestling skills are a complete and total joke. Let this guys next job have something to do with asking if you want fries with that?
If he does return it should only be to ECW
yeah it doesnt make much sense wwe being pg but the eveidence is online on youtube seriously check cena drops blade and ull see the blade drop from his sweaqt band and rewf quickly pick it up alot of people are questioning as to why this happened this is the youtube video link

dont know who posted it on youtube
I think it would be awesome if Booker went back to WWE since after he started that street talk you can’t understand a word he says. He looks and sounds like a complete idiot. And I had actually liked his work in the ring. Reminds me of WCW refusing to wrestle or get someone over. Get rid of Kevin Nash, Booker, Kip James, and bring in some guys that want to work with mic skills. Get AJ Styles a woman manager to talk for him. It gets old to hear/see him speak and facial expressions. He has to have to get laid or something like John Edwards to loosen him up. Lol. Just one persons opinion.
I am so psyched for Austin to be on Chuck. My favorite show and Stone Cold together?? Amazing.
Everyone watch Chuck S1 & S2 so you’ll be caught up for S3 when it starts March 1, 2010.
You people forget these are proffesionals.Its easy for a 300 lb sack of shit superfan to critisize even the smallest impunity but do any of you even have the strength to get off the fucking couch?As a former indy wrestler I have to say you people make me sick,for all the shit you talk you will be right there every friday and monday to watch this incredible product we are lucky to have access to blow me and shut your face.
I don’t think it’s right to always blame the the Professional Athletes for how there story lines go.In the case of Booker T.,he is a very good seasoned veteran in the game and a pretty smart business man to add. I would think it’s hard for these athletes to constantly re-create themselves time after time for our benefits because we have the luxury to build you up one day and cut you down the next.Their trying to do what’s right for their families and the professional futures.
Maybe instead of robbing, or an attempt to rob a Wendy’s . He can work the fryer this time ! With him being a big joke maybe he can work as Ronald McDonald’s replacement ! just let me know Booker which one, so i don’t eat there !
Hey! I resent that! I work at POPEYE’s.
well, seeing as how booker t is like… the last of the african american VETERANS (and one of the few black stars who can even get MENTIONED as a contender to get a title shot) maybe he’s decided he’s too old to put over yet again the NEXT GREAT WHITE wrestler to get pushed. He might have been a little more keen on a bobby lashley push or even giving talented guys like CREED or LETHAL (i personally dont see how da “blueprint” is any better than those two but… he tall, he’s white… he can BARELY do mic work and kinda wrestle… LET MAKE HIM CHAMP !!!)
