Guest Special K Report post Posted April 16, 2002 It looked like Booker was showing some definite signs of a face turn on tonight's Raw. His expressions in response to Goldust were priceless, and his Danny glover line was delivered to perfection. It's been a long time coming seeing as he's been booked as a joke as a heel, and it seemed that a while ago (when he teased turning face on Angle) That the WWF was testing the waters, and the response was good. I think Booker can be a great face. But then I'm a Booker T mark. (He needs a definite finisher though, and the scissor kick ain't cutting it.) Thoughts?

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted April 16, 2002 I would rather have him be a heel with a consistent push like the Rock got than be a face. I think he should get over as a heel before turning him face. All of the WWF guys who have been good faces got over as heels first (Triple H during the face and heel DX era, Austin, the Rock, Undertaker the list goes on).

Guest alfdogg Report post Posted April 16, 2002 Booker WAS over as a heel, but it was totally destroyed by all the anti-WCW bullshit backstage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics Report post Posted April 16, 2002 And being teamed with Test is enough to kill anyone's heat! I agree that he should turn face, as long as he can still say "Yak" ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 16, 2002 and the scissor kick ain't cutting it. Hehe, that's funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted April 16, 2002 I hope so, I think he could have a good run. With Rock on Smackdown (being off for while before that) would there be anything wrong with him using the Bookend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alfdogg Report post Posted April 16, 2002 would there be anything wrong with him using the Bookend? Dude you just gave me an idea...Booker could use the Bookend even if he turns face; maybe it would lead to a long-awaited (by me anyway) Rock heel turn, and they could feud like that, Book as face and Rock as heel.

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted April 16, 2002 booker t as a face would be better than booker t as a heel. He's a far better face than a heel but first i'd like to see booker start espanding his move set to include something other than kicks, he doesn't even have a real finisher.

Guest Report post Posted April 16, 2002 Booker WAS over as a heel, but it was totally destroyed by all the anti-WCW bullshit backstage. That was only at the beginning of Invasion though. Booker T is not really being held down that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted April 16, 2002 then why even though he's over with the fans is he fighting in hardcore matches and partnering with GOLDUST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mystery Eskimo Report post Posted April 16, 2002 Booker was getting tons of heel heat when he first turned. Its gradually died down due to him not having had a decent story in months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 16, 2002 Booker could be succesful as either, but its time for a face turn. I think he has been held down somewhat. Has he had a victory in a p.p.v or even a main event on t.v? And he hasn'b been given a decent storyline.. They had Rock beat him up for a couple months and thats about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted April 16, 2002 Booker T was getting heat when his feud with the Rock started and his heat would have only increased if they would have kept the WCW title on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mystery Eskimo Report post Posted April 16, 2002 If the WWF had been braver, they could have made Booker the leader of the Invasion instead of Austin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted April 16, 2002 Turn him face, and feud him with the NWO...could give them a reason to use some of that old WCW footage and bring up past history. Oh wait, this is the WWF we're talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jericholic82 Report post Posted April 16, 2002 YES DO IT SOON! And Malibu, nice sig w/the SBTB Pic, I am also a mark of that show, when are they going to release it on VHS or DVD? Its about time they did, only way to see it now is to get up early and see it on TBS (4:00 am my time) So my quote is: "Lisa: Oh isn't this great they're a couple (Jessie and Slater) Screech: A couple of what?"

Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted April 16, 2002 He was an awesome face until he became that babyface that makes you sick. I say turn him face and let him do his thing... and SBTB rules. (Y) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted April 16, 2002 Booker T could easily be a very over Main Event face, but I doubt that's going to happen soon. Now that we have the INTENSE Triple H in the ME scene hogging time, and now that the nWo, the clique, and Hulkamania have resurfaced, we're looking at Booker T the midcarder for a long time......

Its about time they did, only way to see it now is to get up early and see it on TBS (4:00 am my time) I know this is getting of the subject of the thread, but you can get the Hawiian Style movie, the Wedding Movie, and a tape that has the Graduation, College Years premiere, and last two College Years eps in stores now, or from somewhere like Amazon.com. And thanks to TBS, I can proudly say I have every episode on tape! But uh...yeah...TURN BOOKER T. FACE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
