Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted May 29, 2002 now, everybody's saying this, but i wanna chime in my 2c and i couldnt really be bothered searching up an old thread to do it in. Book is getting over huge as a tweener/face in the nwo, and he is dragging goldust along with him, sorta like mick foley to goldust's al snow. now, along with book, the only other nWo member with any shread of credibility or heat with the fans (god it pains me to say that) is nash. now, hopefully they have book continue to build face heat, and then eventually turn on the nWo ala rock and the nation. now, lately nash has been continually cutting promos about 'respecting the colours' and such, so he would logically be beyond pissed that book jumps ship. thus, we have an insta-fued. now if book turns soon after king of the ring, he and goldust can maybe have a handicap match against nash/pac/show at july ppv. here book can lose thanks to a heel turn by goldust (who wants nothing more than to be accepted in the nWo, sorta like disco iirc). now, at summerslam, booker can finally face nash one on one after a month of beatdowns, going over clean and establishing himself as an enormous face with a main event rub. [/fantasy booking mode] sorry, its probably in the wrong folder, and *totally* dependent on nash's willingness to put book over clean and well (which i think he may actually do), but if they went down this path, i dont see any way in which the writers could possibly fuck up book's face turn.

Guest Report post Posted May 29, 2002 i dont see any way in which the writers could possibly fuck up book's face turn. In the words of the immortal Anglesault.... HHH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted May 29, 2002 i thought we were gonna try keep all hhhate to a single thread? i was trying to be constructive as well, and i hate hhh a *lot* more than most people (think anglesault level), but dont let it dominate every thread. book is on raw, and for the time being trips isnt, so we can hope that book is an established ME face before trips tries to steal his heat.

Guest Report post Posted May 29, 2002 I actually don't HATE HHH and don't really care for posts where people want him to be seriously injured. I just figured I would save Anglesault the trouble and time of posting. I think Booker (assuming things aren't fucked up by the writers) could be in the main event's in 3-4 months and I would think a feud between him and Rock would be great whenever the hell Rock comes back if ever.

Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted May 29, 2002 nah, i dont think rock, as rock will need to go over upon his return, and while im sure he would be willing to job for book (he owes 3 from the invasion i think), i think book should get the rub from nash, then perhaps fued with austin to cement himself in the main. then you can have him fued with rocky, etc, as he would then be established, unlike the jericho situation, where he only got the rub from rock, and in the fans eyes it really seems that for them to take him seriously, he needs the rub from two bona-fide main eventers.

Guest Report post Posted May 29, 2002 That is why I say 3-4 months. Spend that time grooming him for a ME match with the Rock. That way when Rock first gets back he can maybe feud for the title and a couple months later Booker can challenge him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted May 29, 2002 yep, good plan. just as a side note to anybody thinking of talking about hhh here, this is a booker t thread damnit. piss off to any other fucking thread on the boards. (sorry about the rage) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted May 29, 2002 I can't wait for the Booker T face turn. He is practically a face right now, only wearing the nWo colors. His reactions are only going to keep getting bigger every monday I bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anorak Report post Posted May 30, 2002 As jaded as i was watching WCW during its slow death crawl i always marked out like a big kid for Booker T as a face. The Invasion killed him as a heel and he's been in a weird sort of tweener limbo ever since as the likeable goofy heel people would rather cheer than boo.

Guest Report post Posted May 30, 2002 Remember, Triple H's girlfriend and her dad are booking both shows, so I suspect that when Booker turns face {IF he turns face...} then he will be feuding with Justin Credible in the main events on heat. Besides, there is no way he would be more over than Triple H anyways, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, there is no way he would be more over than Triple H anyways, right? If Vince McMahon got more over than HHH... they'd squash him by making him gay. And Vince would be unhappy. Do I see it happening in, oh, 10-15 years like that? You betcha. Triple H is the next Goldberg. He will end Austin's career with a "superkick" (a f'ed up Pedigree), then drive The Rock away, and kill Hulkamania by teaming w/Hogan. Yes... Triple H has that suck aura.... even more than X-Pac. At least it's FUN to hate X-Pac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest claydude14 Report post Posted May 30, 2002 turn him face... then feud him w/ rock? am i the only one who sees no sense in it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ravenbomb Report post Posted May 30, 2002 Booker reminds me of RVD, he's in a heel stable but getting lots (that's IMO, I could care less if I'm the only one who thinks it's lots) of face heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted May 30, 2002 Booker is getting a ton of face heat. Hell, the roof nearly blew off the place Monday when he prepped the Spinaroonie. OK, I may be exaggerating greatly, but he gets a good amount of face heat, enough that the question now is not "Will he turn?" but "When will he turn and how will it be done?"

Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted May 30, 2002 and thats the way it should be. raw showed a lot of direction on monday, and provided they can capitalise on this (and it pulls a decent rating) they could finally start turning things around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest caboose Report post Posted May 30, 2002 When Booker busts out his first Spin-A-Roonie as a Face the roof will blow off the place. It's like the People's Elbow, it was just a cocky Heel antic at first, but as Rocky became cool, the Elbow was getting insane pops. Just as long as the WWF don't make the Spin-A-Roonie Booker's Finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
