Why Rock vs Booker was cancelled

[Guest Angle-plex]

And how Triple H was involved...

 

It appears that the Rock vetoed his advertised match with Booker T this past Monday on RAW. The word going around is that Rock did not want to job to Booker T, partly due to the fact that he fealt it would benefit Triple H more than anybody else.

 

The Rock is said to be very upset with Triple H's backstage political power and saw the Rock/Booker match as a way of Triple H elevating himself further. The idea was that if Booker beat the Rock on RAW, then Triple H beat Booker at WrestleMania, Triple H would come out looking the best.

 

It is somewhat hard to believe that the Rock would really care about such matters now, due to his future in Hollywood, but that is what the buzz in the locker room has been.

 

The Rock did not mind losing to the Hurricane because the loss came off as a fluke rather than a legitimate win for the Hurricane.

 

The Rock also opposed jobbing to Booker T because he fealt that WWE had not put their heart behind Booker's push, and that the job would end up hurting the Rock more than helping Booker.

I agree.

[Guest Nevermortal]

Good for Rock.

[Guest bob_barron]

I think wanting Booker T to go over Rock shows they have their heart behind his push.

 

I think Rocky should've done the job- why should he care about politics?

[Guest razazteca]

The way I see it the Rock losing to Hurricane futhers the White Is Right Triple K angle.

 

So it was a no win situation for the Rock.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Rock didn't want to do the job for this reason:

 

Chris Jericho.

 

Rock made Jericho a star so that HHH could make him a joke for his own benefit.

 

Now they want Booker T to look good so that HHH can do the same thing.

 

I agree with the Rock.

GOD DAMNIT!

I agree with the Rock.

So he should just let Booker made to be looked like total loser instead of doing a fluke job to Hurricane?

 

Booker being built up and losing to Triple H is better then Booker looking a complete jackass and losing to Triple H

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

I disagree.

 

The last thing I want to see is Booker in this terrible racist feud beat the top black star in the history of the business en route to coming up short and losing to the Grand Wizard HHH.

I don't think so. Building someone up and having HHH crush it is the same as not being built up.

[Guest Angle-plex]

I see Rock's point. If Rock jobbed to Booker, then Booker jobbed to Triple H, that would mean:

 

Triple H > Booker > Rock

 

And he has a hollywood career to think of, folks~!

[Guest The Tino Standard]

GOD DAMNIT!

BINGO.

 

This really would be a moot point if Booker was set to go over Triple H at WM, no?

[Guest bob_barron]

The last thing I want to see is Booker T lose to Triple H after not getting any buildup at all.

 

He went over Steiner and was getting some good momentum but he really needs to keep getting victories.

 

And they haven't set the WM results in stone so no one knows whose going to win yet.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Is HHH in the match?

 

I can usually acurately predict who wins those matches.

 

Either he wins or it's a DQ

[Guest TheArchiteck]

That better just be an example.

[Guest El Satanico]

Oh please we all know WWe already knows who's going to win at WM so don't act like they have no clue.

Yes, so Rock, known for his paranoid delusions and refusal to help up and comers, made the whole thing up. if it's to this point, it's in stone.

 

Either he wins or it's a DQ

 

And you don't do DQ's at Mania.

[Guest bob_barron]

Rock jobbed to Hurricane so does that make it-

 

Everyone>Hurricane>Rock

 

Rock not jobbing to Booker killed his momentum and as a Booker T fan I'm not too happy about it. The guy let his HHHatred get in the way of doing the right thing

[Guest bob_barron]

I'm not saying Rock made it up-

I'm saying it's not official official HHH is going to win.

 

Remember last year- Vince changed the finish of Backlash (HHH v. HHH) the day of the show.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

There IS no right thing when the end result is always HHH>Everyone.

[Guest Steviekick]

As much as I would have liked to see Rock put over Booker T, I can accept and respect Rocky's wishes especially if HHH is not going to put over HHH.

There is NO POINT in building the guy up just so Triple K can ruin it all at Mania. It's a waste of the Rock. Have him beat Rock after the Grand Wizard beats him and start from there.

[Guest bob_barron]

Thanks to Rock we got a snoozefest with Hurricane that did absolutely for Hurricane (They didn't even play his music!) instead of getting to see Booker T FINALLY go over The Rock.

 

Sounds like a fair tradeoff eh?

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

I agree with the Rock. He has done the job almost everytime they ask him to. Lesner, Jericho, Austin, HHH, Hurricane.

 

He has done his share of jobs. Its time for Triple K to step up to the plate and let Booker go over.

 

Otherwise, Booker can join Steiner, Kane and RVD in limbo hell.

So Rock is acting like that on a 50/50 chance?

 

HHH must be fuming that his Klan has been destroyed. He "needs" this win.

You might as well make it look like Booker T has a hope in hell v. HHH rather then just throwing him out there with no chance of winning if they plan to put HHH over

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Who cares.

 

This time next month Booker will be back to doing nothing on RAW and HHH will still be smirking.

 

On top of that...Booker isn't such a great wrestler that I need to see him against Rock anyway.

Either way Booker T is screwed.

 

Option 1 is- He got a win over the Rock and he can use that as momentum

Opion 2 is- He slammed a door in a guy's face and beat up and old man.

 

 

If he's gonna job I'd rather him at least get to finally beat The Rock

Booker T and Rock always work well together and it would've much better then Hurricane v. Rock was. I don't appreciate Rock trying to fuck with a Wrestlemania main event that he is NOT involved in and doesn't affect him in the slightest

[Guest Anglesault]

Wasted momentum. HHH wil bury him and then possibly lynch him until Big Kev hobbles out for the next month of challenges.
