iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 I haven't followed Smackdown much but I know they "broke up and got fired" at Judgment Day and I heard that Joey Mercury's got drug problems, but what exactly is the reason for their de-push and now taking them off TV?

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 Melina has issues and caused incidents for the past few months, including the need for a late night wrestler's court and has developed a close relationship with Batista and of course, that lead to the Booker/Batista confrontation. Nitro, basically goes along with Melina's actions. Mercury, was high on WWE's list but the drug problems soured those sentiments. He'll probably end up in ECW.

The Tino Standard 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 Melina has ... developed a close relationship with Batista and of course, that lead to the Booker/Batista confrontation. Wait, what? Wasn't it pretty much assumed that the whole Booker T-Batista "fight" was some sort of Internet work to give Batista a program for when he returns? And even if it wasn't, what would Booker T care about Batista doing anything with Melina? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never heard anything of the sort. When did this come out? Every reason given for the split has had to do with punishing Nitro and Melina and getting them on RAW so they're out of the SD locker room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 Melina has issues with Sharmell, Booker being her husband stood up for Sharmell. Batista, being close to Melina...you figure it out. It's just high school all over again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And even if it wasn't, what would Booker T care about Batista doing anything with Melina? In last week's WON, it states that the fight stemmed from Batista's holier than thou attitude. Booker called him on it (IIRC Batista talked about Smackdown being inferior to RAW, which is ironic given Booker's original SD gimmick) and they got into it. Melina, who as mentioned supposedly has something going with Batista, or at least did, also got into a brawl with Sharmell at a house show that caused JBL to intervene. I also believe it was in Australia that Melina pissed more than a few people off because she was called into the dreaded "Wrestler's Court". She's apparently been on the shitlist for some time.

Karc 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 The whole thing sounds like an angle right out of wrestling anyway, so it's probably going to be on TV when Batista comes back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted May 28, 2006 The wrestlers behave like children, and yet some of you still wonder why pro wrestling is seen as a freak show in the US. The "Melina is shy" rumors probably contain more truth than any of this other shit. With these people, not saying hello to everyone can get you on the shitlist.

goldengreek 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 I always heard nitro and melina being an item. I dont believe the batista/ melina thing. So was the booker/ batista "fight" a work or what???? Is there any official truth to any of this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 I figured it was a work since I think that Booker T will beat Rey at GAB for the title and then with their fight which they've mentioned on WWE.com, they have a reason to have Batista fued with Booker and set up a match at Summerslam.
