Did TNA just blow it?

[YoungFlyFlashy]

At last night’s TNA house show in Lake Charles, Booker T returned and faced TNA heavyweight champion Rob Van Dam. More shortly.

We are seeking a report from the show.

For more great exclusive TNA coverage like what you just read above including a video of Booker T’s TNA return, visit our TNA website only at TNAWrestlingNews.com.

REALLY!?!? Just waste his return like that? Unless it was for one night only.

[CSL]

I'm not sure too many people really care about Booker T in terms of national TV atm. Besides, with how dumb TNA are as a collective, it wouldn't suprise me if they think nobody will know because it was on a house show, hype a mystery wrestler on TV and it'll be him.

[YoungFlyFlashy]

Yeah but something is better than nothing, and at the moment they have nothing.

[VSG]

Didn't they just have a budget deficit and were going to cut a lot of guys?

[The Pope]

Is there really a video?

[YoungFlyFlashy]

Is there really a video?

I haven't found it.

no video but heres a pic of it from TNA's Facebook page

The TNA Blurb that went along with it


On Friday night at TNA's live event tour date in Lake Charles, LA, AJ Styles was unable to appear due to travel issues to face TNA World Champion Rob Van Dam. However, BOOKER T made a surprise appearance to face RVD in the main event! When TNA comes to your hometown, don't miss it - because you never know what could happen at a TNA Wrestling Live Event!

[Schlomey]

Sounds like a special favor

[taker707]

ya thats what im thinking . one off thing . Dixie didnt like him i thought

[Jeritron]

If he's back, I don't think they blew anything. What they be blowing? I don't think anyone really cares about Booker T too much. The people who would are really already watching wrestling weekly. It's not going to draw in people or money.
The only thing I think they're wasting is their time and money, to be honest.

[Fignuts]

Well they can certainly blow ME.

[erickman]

if that is a one time thing that is good it shows anything can hapen in house shows, an will get people to go to them, they allready put on a better houseshow then wwe. the way booker left i guess he is tring to rebuild the bridge he burned.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

Booker T's role on WWE before he left SUCKED!

I didn't get the opportunity to see his role on TNA since I wasn't a fan of TNA then.

[tjmidnight420]

Booker T's role on WWE before he left SUCKED!

So lets try to elaborate numbnuts.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

You make no sense sally

[tjmidnight420]

Dude for once I said something serious directed at you. Elaborate on the part of your post I quoted. State why he sucked at the end of his run. Do you honestly want to be laughed at for everything you do on this board?

Since WHEN the fuck does TNA go anywhere other than Orlando?

[TheAdamEvansFan]

Yes I do.

His depiction of a King and the time when he began to use an accent was horrid.

I wouldn't even consider him being a hard fledged heel, it was just aweful TV.

I would rather watch The Miz, Jericho, and Sheamus talk about their self worth then see Booker T come back down in a crown and talk about his kingship.

It was worse than watching Henry become a daddy to a hand.

since all the time

[erickman]

for me bookers best stuff was in wcw, the only real highlights in wwe was the fued with stonecold, when they were fighting in that store.

Dude, shut the fuck up. To say Booker T was never an accomplished performer is like saying Trevor Murdoch is the best in-ring performer ever. The guy was given a shitty gimmick by VINCE MCMAHON. He did the best he could with what he was scripted. Get over it.

That shit was awesome.

Some people just don't get it, fella.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

I never said he wasnt accomplished performer you donkey fucker.

I said his gimmick in WWE right before he left was shit

Dumbass

[Ermaximus]

So what you're saying is that you, THEADAMEVANSFAN, could do a better job as a black man portraying an English king? This I want to see.

[tjmidnight420]

:lol:

[TheAdamEvansFan]

Adam Evans maybe :-) I'm just a fan, not the real mccoy.

Troll on!

[TheAdamEvansFan]

You first! <3

[The Pope]

Booker T suckas!

[Kane Knight]

Scott Hall sure blew it. Blew a 1.4 on his BAC test./

[Schlomey]

adamevansfan: I am opposing your views on the King Booker gimmick. While on SMACKDOWN the gimmick was perfect for a long time. It was when he was drafted to RAW and was fed to the wolves (HHH Mostly) that it became shit.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

Yeah but you would think the King vs King deal would have worked pretty well.

I just don't think it was well written.

I love Booker T as a wrestler.

I thought his days in WCW was classic.

[Schlomey]

I was never hot on booker t....ever. But I still thought his king gimmick worked fine for at least the first 7 months.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

I'd also have to blame Triple H, he's at that point where he just can't go complete heel now because he's so over with the fans and so over with WWE.

I mean, it's hard for a fan to believe that Triple H is out there, taking out the good guys and trying to destruct the whole Raw roster when he's married to the owners daughter.

Takes away the drama.

Makes him kind of played out like Cena in a way.

So that might have had some to do with it..

Booker can play a role pretty well like Regal..

[VSG]

You make no sense sally

Aren't you supposed to be bald now? Going Lex Luthor and supporting "bad guys", that your new gimmick?

[TheAdamEvansFan]

How'd you know that I shaved my head?

[Schlomey]

well now that Orton is face they could renew their feud at the end of the year with a HHH heel turn.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

Triple H had said in an interview that the last time he was heel, the fans turned him back to face when he'd bring a sledge hammer down and try to beat in the good guys head as the fans cheered for him so idk

As noted last night here on the website, Multi-time world champion Booker T made a surprise appearance wrestling in the main event against Rob Van Dam at Friday night’s TNA house show in Lake Charles, Texas. It was announced to the audience that AJ Styles was unable to make the show in time and thus Booker would be replacing him in the main event. Before the bout, Booker said he was there to win the TNA World Title. He then added that he “doesn’t give a damn about TNA or the fans.” Booker ultimately fell short as he succumbed to the TNA World Heavyweight Champion following a Five-Star Frog Splash. Booker lives in Houston, which is approximately two hours away from Lake Charles. He parted ways with the organization last fall. UPDATE: According to sources in TNA, Booker’s appearance was said to be a one time deal for the time being.

he used the silly accent in TNA too.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

That sucks then lol

[Xero]

"Just"?

[FourFifty]

No, TNA did not JUST blow it. They blew it a while ago. A long while ago.

[Savio]

Hogan knows cock.
