Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 Smackdown is lacking star power. Booker T would make a great addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 Say he does get moved to Smackdown. So what? Hate to see it guys, but Booker isn't very good. Oh sure, you can say he's over. But isn't that mostly because of his spinaroonie? Isn't that over on a Rikishi and Scotty level? I really don't think I could take him seriously in a world title situation with his current character. I didn't last year at WM, why would I now? Well, they moved Big Show to SD under pretty much the same circumstances (no cred, jobbing left & right, no direction on Raw), and it turned out pretty good for him. It could work, provided the WWE *wants* to build up Booker, which I highly doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Big Show jumped and immediately challenged Lesnar for the title, I was thinking, "Wasn't this the same guy who a month ago was getting pinned by Jeff Hardy and getting brutalized by Tommy Dreamer with a chair?"

Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted February 19, 2004 I am waiting for the day they do a PRESS CONFERENCE to announce a trade or a signing. Fuck this "oh, and here he is" shit. Of course you know this COULDN'T happen. That would mean that they might be compared to a sport. They wouldn't wanna do something crazy like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course you know this COULDN'T happen. That would mean that they might be compared to a sport. They wouldn't wanna do something crazy like that. Or how about not doing anything? How about no hype packages, and no announcers creaming themselves when someone arrives and saying "hey, what hell's HE doing here!? WOW!!" and the GM/whatever the fuck saying "oh, we found a loophole." Yeah, a loophole. YOU'RE INSULTING OUR FUCKING INTELLIGENCE (sp?) AGAIN. Seriously, though, I believe that Vince's "new direction" speech has come full circle when they pull this shit. Years ago, when someone would jump to/from WCW, there were almost never any hype packages or references to another brand. I know they're both still WWE, but fuck, just try a little bit. How about just debuting someone out of nowhere and have them start racking up wins and moving up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
