Booker T recently auditioned for an announcer spot on Smackdown. He'd like to work as an announcer after he retires. His brother Stevie Ray worked as announcer in WCW in 2000.
Rey Mysterio will be having a top-level match at Wrestlemania next year. There's no word on who he will wrestle yet.

YAY FOR REY REY!
Uh....Booker...I'm not sure, he's been in character so I'm not sure how he'd do...

Top level? I doubt it.
Maybe he'll get a US or World (doubt it) title match.

Top-level as in World heavyweight title?Though Rey isn't exactly heavyweight, but when has the WWE ever let logic step in their way?

Rey Mysterio at WM22? I would have never guessed!

Eddie wasn't a heavyweight and he won the WWE championship. Same with Shawn Michaels and the WHC.

The better question is, are they adding a 3rd person or replacing one of the two?

Shawn and Eddie were heavyweights. Heavyweight starts at like 200 lbs. Crusierwieght ends at 230 lbs (this rule gets bent a lot though.) Even in boxing, the light-heavyweight and heavyweight divisions over lap a little. Ever hear of Jimmy Braddock? He was both a lightwieght and heavyweight champion, and he couldn't afford to gain wieght inbetween titles.
BTW, can Booker ever be as good at announcing as Stevie Ray? I mean this is the Stevie Ray that gave use such terms as fruit-bootie. No seriously, Stevie Ray was gold back in 2000. I loved watching thunder because of him.
Technically, there isn't any weight minumum for the world titles. Just like there isn't a gender rule for the IC title. (Yes, I'm referring to Chyna, and yes, I'm being extremely technical here.)

With what I said earlier, Rey needs to gain like 30 pounds to be heavyweight though.

There is for real wrestling a boxing, so I'm just assuming that there is an implied wieght lower weight limit for the heavyweight in the fake shit.

So could a woman win one of their HEAVYWEIGHT championship?
In all technicality, every title except for the Cruiserweight (staying in what has been said in storyline for that) can be won by anyone even though they're ALL heavyweight championships. (IC, US, European, etc).

They aren't really heavyweight titles, they're for all weights.If they were heavyweight or cruiserweight titles, it would say so in the title.Like the 'World Heavyweight Championship', for example.
How much does Rey weigh?

Rey's 160 or so.
And it's rare, but once in a while (lastly mandatory I guess in the mid-90s) they would announce them as the "WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion". Because of that, they at least ONCE had "Heavyweight" in their name.
Jesus people, don't be so fucking technical.

Top-level match for Rey, eh? I'm really hoping they start pushing him hard as a top-level guy. Putting him over Show would have been a first step, but I doubt that'll ever happen. I'd love to see a WWE Title run out of Rey.

Brock and Goldberg were on different shows.

You want to be technical in a fake sport where a woman has held a men's HEAVYWEIGHT championship and men have won women's championships?

Yeah I know,but still, i can't see them building up a rey/hbk feud on different shows, just can't see it working.Though I want to see it ofcourse.I guess they could make the match as a tribute to Eddie or something.

When have men held womens championships?I can see your point though.I was just making what I thought was a fair point.
They have interpromotional matches every year now. Donesn't anyone remember Michaels/Angle? Kane/Taker? Taker/Orton?

Yes xero, but as I said, how could they possibly build up HBK/rey?

Harvey Whipplemen won the Women's title by dressing up as a woman. I'm sure they would give them a physical if it were "real".
The WWE has never put a weight limit on any titles except for their light weight titles. Just because it's called the "WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT Championship" doesn't mean that only heavyweights could win it. It also doesn't mean that it's defended ALL over the world.

Michaels heel turn. RAW vs. SmackDown! spirit. A number of things can build it easily. Have Rey eliminate Shawn from the Rumble and there you go (even though it did happen last year with Michaels/Angle).
The only problem is that one will have to ideally be heel.

There's the problem, everything they're going to think of to build it up has happened so much recently its getting boring.I wouldn't mind seeing HBK as a heel again though, I don't like him as a face at the moment.

That reminds me, what ever happened to WCW?

Okay, have Shawn turn heel by attacking Rey at the Rumble in Rey's match and injure him, taking him out of the Rumble (and Michaels gets his spot, since he had lost his chance a while back). Keep Rey off TV for a few weeks and then have him attack Michaels.
Hell, even have Rey be #30 and Michaels wins it by taking his place. The next night have Vince strip him of the contendership and tell him that he's going to face Rey if he gets back before Mania, if not then Shawn gets it.
Build up a few weeks, then a few weeks before Mania have Rey challenge him at Mania for the spot.
Either one could win (preferably Rey), and then they go onto the main event where they basically have to win because Cena (since Michaels had won, the WH Champion should have been in a feud all this time) would have been without a title feud to WrestleMania (he could have been feuding with Michaels up until Mania though I guess).
Fresh enough for you?

For fuck's sake, if WWE had it right I reckon Rey vs Shelton would have ruled, but Rey as a headliner of WM ? Now as long as they give him a credible opponent in terms of work-rate then I'll buy it...

I think Booker would make for a pretty good announcer. He doesn't have to carry his character over to announcing, but if he was the sarcastic "gets worked up over nothing" type of heel announcer, that'd rock.

No, Oklahoma won the WCW Cruiserweight title from Madusa, Not the Women's title. The latter championship was inactive by then.

Rey will be buds with Batista for a long time and when the Rumble and get all this attention and stuff eventually Batista will get jealous and turn on Rey and then there you have it Rey v.s Batista at WM22.

Yup. Old schoolers particularly call it the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. I'm pretty sure I remember Sarge using the verbage all throughout his run as WWF Commissioner.
