"What's happening with Booker T?"

When Booker T first came to the WWF during the Alliance he was WCW champion and feuding with the Rock. He was one of the main members of the Alliance and also held one of the tag team belts with Test a couple of times, beating the Undertaker and Kane. After he was part of the losing team at Survivor Series putting his WWF career on hold.

He was away for about a month and came back interfering in the undisputed title final. He returned full of anger with Stone Cold. He immediately made an Alliance with Vince but was humiliated by Stone Cold in a supermarket and a church. Then he gained the edge over him when the Bossman returned and they beat Stone Cold in a handicap match. The nit all went wrong. No match with Stone Cold at a pay-per-view and he slowly fell down the pecking order and fell into mid-card doing a mix of single matches and tag team matches with Test without much success. His lowest moment was losing to Spike Dudley.

Now he is on Raw as a number 6 (I think) choice. His relatioship with Vince has disappeared the same with the Big Bossman.

Where does he go from here. He's got obvious wrestling skills, especially his range of kicks. However he doesn't have a valid finisher as people easily kick out of all his kicks which are his main moves. The Book-end was only really used to mock the Rock. Maybe he needs to get this aspect of his wrestling sorted before making a charge in main-eventing again. He may need to win the IC belt first or even the European title despite being in perhaps the weaker roster. He may need a run as a face for a while as the fans do not really hate him, I don't, maybe he needs a run as a face.

What do you think, is he going downhill and is there anything that can be done?

They shpuld keep him as a heel as i like liking the heel. Ive laways liked HHH but not as much now as he is a a face, cant the WWF see the HHH makes the perfect heel and always has done

They could EASILY get him over as a face

He got cheered when he came out when Angle was talking a few weeks ago, but then he dissed the crowd and got booed again

He gets cheered when he does the spineroonie

They could turn him face, get him dead popular, then have him turn heel (and not a crappy heel turn, an actual good one that makes sense)

Then he's popular as a heel, and is over with the crowds

It worked in a similar way to Rocky, they couldn't get him over as a face when he first came in, so they made him heel and eventually he started getting cheered, so they turned him face and he's stayed face for years

Not racism, Booker Tism

Booker T's style is different to RVD. He has more power as he is bigger and uses more traditional moves. He fits perfectly into the ideal weight and height category, about 6'3" and 251lb. The longer he is kept down the longer the WWF will be accused of racism, rightly or wrongly.

His problems started when he was booked into a feud with The Rock, but it was just after The Rock came back and he ended up getting buried. Like that feud, his semi-alliance with Vince went nowhere, and his feud with Stone Cold, which had potential, did not even make it to PPV. With the RAW roster being the weaker in terms of wrestling potential, I think that the Book should definitely be higher up the tier.

Look Booker T is a premier athlete and he should be headlining more of the Raw Main Events instead of Buh Buh Ray Dudley and the Hardcore Divison...... I mean Booker T has become nothing more of a jobber to all those jabronis in the WWF...... I mean he is the most decorated superstar in WCW and has come to be a jobber in the WWF *Hurricane Mode* WHATS UP WITH THAT? *Hurricane Mode* Booker T should be up there with the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin. I mean he had a really awesome match with RVD the previous Raw in the IC Division and was demoted to the Hardcore Division! The bookers need to book Booker up in the Intercontinental Division and then to the Main Event division........

Can you Dig that Vince?

The problem Booker T has is one of style. His use of kicks and acrobtics inevitably draws comparisons with Rob Van Dam, a comparison which is unfavourable to Booker as no one is as good as the whole Dam Show.

Booker T is my favorite wrestler, I think he should be further up the card.

And Kane he has a degree in English.

I forgot about that thing in the papers about Booker T.

Somehow, my veiw on this situation is that when the News of the World printed the Booker T-Leaf topic a few months back, his career has gone downhill since. Maybe it's because not many people know about wrestlers previous life. Let me ask you a question! How many of you know that Kane used to have blonde hair, a blonde beard and be really fat?? Hehe!!
