This was probably mentioned but I didn't see it.
Was Nash and Booker's RR appearance a 1 time deal like past RVD appearances?

I assume it was a one-off for Nash because I don't see him carrying the "Diesel" moniker, although he did die his hair black for it... as much as I would love for him to stick around. I think he'll take a backstage role.
Booker T I think may show up again on camera but as more of a mentor-type role.

I think WWE wants both to be a mentor-roll and I heard that they want Booker T to be an announcer. I think WWE must have thought that a Main Event Mafia reunion would be something that would help TNA.

Booker looked good, can see them picking him up for a bit if he wants to wrestle.
Nash is obviously out of WWE's league. Can't see him wanting to stick around unless he's really bored.

Considering how WWE are focusing on young talent right now, I seriously doubt either Nash or Booker will be around for long, if at all. (though I marked out HUGE for Booker T, and the pop he received was fantastic).

People can bitch about Kevin Nash all they want, but any company who has him writing matches is benefitting..... He might not be the best creatively to create the storylines, but he can arrange the match in a way where both guys look good and can get their stuff in, all the while furthering the storyline.....

Who's bitching about Nash? The guy only didn't bust out the Phoenix Splash or his new technical submission because WWE didn't want him to take all the limelight.
I can't imagine the state of these forums if he'd have used the submission. I think it's safe to say TPWW.net would have just deleted itself, knowing recovery was impossible.

Because if Vince fears anything, it's an MEM reunion.

Booker T doesn't seem to want a wrestling role. I wouldn't mind seeing him as a manger or as someone who makes fun of Michael Cole better. It was bad ass to see him.

Wrestlemania is in Atlanta and considering Nash's connection with Shawn and WCW/NWO and Booker's connections with WCW I wouldn't be surprised if both of those guys went into the HOF, especially if both are done with active competition.

I was just driving home and happen to recall Diesel after he was eliminated... the staredown with Big Show...
At first I assumed it was because of their history together... the nWo and so on... but now I'm wondering, since Nash's tweets about the night... if they would consider working the two for a WrestleMania sendoff... or maybe put them together as a team... I want to see Nash have his last hurrah in WWE.
With Batista gone Booker T probably feels better coming back to WWE.

Neither are going anywhere, it seems.

nash was a horrible booker
"I wasn't booking when Goldberg got beat"
On the Fingerpoke of Doom...
Would it have worked?
"It would have been if Bill wouldn't have fuckin put his hand through a limo a couple weeks later cause he got all pissed of cause of something Scott said on TV... would have mowed through me, Scott, to finally get to Hogan to beat Hogan and get the strap and have another run.... 7 months of tv planned right there."
-- more like a victim of circumstance
Plus he wanted to book Hogan as President of WCW... but Hogan stepped in and dropped Creative Control due to the $$$ factor...
