Professional wrestling thread

Booker T and Sharmell officially gone. Daivari, apparently, is also gone.

 

Good. The King Booker angle got old pretty quickly.

 

Does this mean Lawler's the King again?

 

Hard to believe Daivari never got busted for 'roids. That guy was yoked at about 210 pounds when he probably should have weighed about 170 in reality.

 

First he loses a flag match to Duggan and now he loses his job. Bad month for Davairi.

 

Went to Meltzer's site tonight to read the ECW report and TNA spoilers. And now I'm banging my head into my desk because it's less painful than trying to comprehend what the booking ideas are for ECW and TNA.

 

TNA might have been lost before, but this time there's no turning back after reading the spoilers. Might as well stay lost and never be found.

 

Would King Booker fit in TNA? Maybe if they changed his angle.

 

Why wouldn't ECW save the Kane debut for the main event?

I turned on the television when I got home at 11 E/T, only to see The Miz and Morrison brawling, until that enormous lard comes out and suffocates them both. Lame.

And I don't understand why TNA insists on making tag-team matches for the World Title at PPV events. One-on-one matches, triple threat matches, even fatal fourway matches are way better. And which WWE retread do you think TNA will trot out as Sting's tag partner? I have my money on Booker T.

Get rid of Sting and push the young guys!

 

I'd actually be pretty surprised if Booker went to TNA, at least immediately. He saved his money, he owns a wrestling school and his wife is about to graduate from law school. Of course he could land there easily because he's been using TNA talent recently at shows his school does. Maybe it'll become a developmental league to TNA, which was what he was hoping for with WWE.

I agree with boston about the tag team matches for the individual title being bullshit. They could easily do this as a four-way, except Nash probably won't be in the ring that much on those knees. But I disagree about Sting: he works hard, he still acts like he cares, and the fans like him. Plus he's the most consistent face they have (everyone else has either turned or acted tweener in the six months). If it wasn't Sting there, it'd be Jarrett.

 

Booker quit WWE -- he wasn't fired. Given that, I'd be surprised if he didn't have a noncompete.

The NWA title situation is pretty much in the hands of one Russo, Vince, who is friends with one Nash, Kevin.

 

I'm gonna miss Booker
