Booker T and Sharmell Released from WWE

Re: Booker T and Sharmell Released from WWE

I don't really follow wrestling much anymore, but wasn't Randy Orton implicated as well? He's the WWE Champion. It would be pretty funny to see Booker and his wife come to TNA so Kurt Angle can pursue "beasitality sex" with Sharmell.

WWE claims that Orton wasn't implicated,yet he was one of the guys named by SI. Oh well,it's not like they were doing alot with Booker anyway.

When Orton came back recently, it was from his supension for the scandal. Yes, The Book has been trying to get out for a while. They won't need the money, hell Sharmmel just graduated from law school, and they say Book made very wise investments with his loot. But I'd like to see him in TNA with a program with Sting.

Same here, Booker has always been one of my favorites since his early days as the Ebony Experience with Stevie Ray back in the GWF where they got their start in, so I'll miss watching him.

Lic. Manuel R. Batista passed on a link to a statement by Booker T on his official website regarding his and Sharmell's release from WWE effective October 27:

Announcement

We want to begin by thanking the many wonderful WWE fans that we have had the privilege of entertaining over the last eight years. Sharmell and I have enjoyed the opportunity to put smiles on your faces night after night. We also want to thank everyone in the wrestling community for their support of our very own P.W.A. (Pro Wrestling Alliance). The dream of bringing professional wrestling back to my home town of Houston, Texas is coming to fruition, and we have you to thank for it.

I want to address something that has been on my mind for quite some time now in regards to my recent suspension from WWE. I want to state for the record that I was not taking any illegal substance, or anything outside of my physician's care, and that the suspension was unwarranted. However, rather than fight the suspension or publicly voice my discontent, I used this recent hiatus to rest, work with the P.W.A., and reflect on the direction of my career as a professional wrestler. I also, for the record, have never at any time ordered anything from "Signature Pharmacy". This allegation is upsetting, and the careless and slanderous reporting of this matter is currently being addressed by my legal counsel.

I would like to also address any possible rumors or misinformation regarding our release from WWE. I had been unhappy for quite some time with the direction that the Company was going in. In fact, I asked for my release back in July for that very reason. However, after further contemplation, I decided to continue on with WWE because of my passion for this industry and my desire to entertain the fans. Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that my unhappiness with my work environment was beginning to take a great toll on other aspects of my life. I knew that it was time to make some extremely tough decisions. Therefore, in the interest of my mental, physical, and spiritual well being, I along with my wife, asked for our release from World Wrestling Entertainment for the second time within months. We were graciously granted our release and we have since amicably parted ways. While the business relationship between ourselves and the WWE has ended, we will continue to be involved in Professional Wrestling. We hope that our loyal fans will follow us as we make this transition.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, and we will see you soon!

Booker T. and Sharmell

Re: Booker T and Sharmell Released from WWE

I think there is a good chance we could see him in TNA since he would only have to do 3 shows a month and with the WCW "feel" lately in TNA, it could very well happen.

Re: Booker T and Sharmell Released from WWE

IF Booker T goes to TNA...I'll be watching. His in ring skills are phenomenal and his character has always been great...even King Booker, which is/was a stupid gimmick, he pulled off as well as he could. This sucks....all the good wrestlers are leaving....at least we have a champ now who can actually work in the ring....

Re: Booker T and Sharmell Released from WWE

TNA is awesome guys, and there is a very strong rumor that Booker has been negotiating with them.
