Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted May 13, 2003 So the question is, will Booker T be able to wrestle at the PPV? Im beginning to wonder why they would add him on RAW last night, when they could have just waited and added him on heat prior to the PPV if he is ready.

Guest notJames Report post Posted May 13, 2003 Why is Booker T even entered in the battle royal, since he's not a former IC champ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Midnight Express83 Report post Posted May 13, 2003 they merged the US and IC titles. With the US champion winning the merger title, so I guess all former US champs are IC champs by proxy. So, Booker T is allowed in. But also that means Goldberg can be in it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Tino Standard Report post Posted May 13, 2003 Storyline-wise, Teddy Long said on Raw that a deserving black man should be invited into the battle royale, whether he's a former champion or not. Obviously, he was looking to get a spot for Rodney Mack, but Austin instead decided to put Booker T in. No need for convoluted title histories and stuff to explain Booker's entry. Austin said he's in, so he's in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted May 13, 2003 Oh right. I guess I should've watched RAW last night. Or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted May 13, 2003 Either way its a pretty dumb way for Austin to go back on what he said in only a week. I wish once they made a decisoin for a match they would make them stick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
