The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Damn WWE politics. I wonder who submitted the original idea that Flair liked?

As for Jericho i'd love to see him back, just as long as there's no glass ceiling over his head. It seemed every time he had something great happening for him he was either demoted or put in a crummy storyline.

WWE has too much of a need in the main event to put a glass ceiling on Jericho.

If/when Jericho comes back he would be allowed to be a top tier superstar. With the money they'd be spending, they know his value and wouldn't limit him.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Yeah, you don't not push a guy at a million dollars a year during times like these.

Then again, I don't know how true that figure could be. But on top of that, would Jericho come back for less? Who knows.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reports that Robert Huffman (King Booker) quit WWE when he was told that he was to be suspended for 60 days, as a punishment to the Signature Pharmacy bust. He was believed to have failed a Wellness Program test before, hence the 60 days suspension instead of 30.

While WWE is still trying to negotiate Huffman's staying with them, they're going on under the impression he's done. The two sides had been having troubles recently, with a major setback being John Laurinaitis' call to go with Florida for a developmental territory - where WWE would start from scratch - instead of going with Booker's already established PWA, which WWE had been loaning wrestlers to. After they made the call to stop that, Booker went to his friends at TNA and booked them for his shows instead, which didn't sit so well with anyone backstage, but they couldn't say much having pulled WWE talent from PWA.

Booker is pretty much set financially and has wanted out of wrestling for a while. At age 42, he's accomplished a lot, and thanks to his hip hop store doing well in Houston, and his two wrestling schools up and running, there's really no need for him to stick around.

You think Raw is filled with "gay skits" now, a three hour Raw would be worse.

And stop bitching and go watch some DVDs or something.

I don't know what to say about the Booker deal. Good for him, I guess.

LOL! 3 hours would be overkill imo, 2 hours is just enough.

Granted, he did wrong with buying that crap...........I don't blame him, look at Orton, his name was on that list also and nothing happened to him that we know of yet.

No big loss if you ask me for the long term, but wow does that suck in the short term.

Booker T was always one of my favorites so that will suck to see him go.

No offense intended, but wasn't this same article posted like 4 posts ago?

Speaking of Orton, I thought I heard somewhere that the reason nothing happened to him was that he told WWE about this before the news broke or somehting like that.

I think he did. It was probably during one of his suspension or when he was sent home from Europe. Is Booker T gonna be missed that much? He didn't quit because of steroids. He quit because he knew he would be buried in his feud with HHH. That's just my opinion though. I read how he wanted a new contract similar to HHH's. Obviously, Vince didn't go for that. I think he'll retire. He has his wrestling school in Texas. He's had a good career.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

i would think that they would have to have him somehow lose the "crown" if they ever plan on doing another king of the ring again. cause as far as i know you cant retire as king of the ring and then bring it back if said retired wrestler holds said title... or am i confused?

Has the "King" ever been considered a title? The only match I can remember with the crown being on the line was Harley Race and Haku forever ago.
