Big Names Returning at Royal Rumble? (Possible Spoiler)
 

So apparently Booker T might be making a WWE return at the Rumble. Am I the only one who always found him to be incredibly boring as a character and worker? I just never got him or why he got the push he did, and he never should have made it above mid card status IMO. Not to mention, will any of the kids in the crowd even know who the hell he is or care one bit?

Yes, I'm glad you enjoy it. ;)

I'm actually honestly curious about what other folks think about Booker and him possibly returning.

Booker T is the man.

What's the problem with posting this thread? Maybe I missed something, but a lot of people on these boards act like complete douche bags.

I love Booker T. Hilarious as a heel, and somehow lovable as a face. He also constantly tried; while it took a little bit for some of his better wrestling work to come about in the WWE, his character at the end was one of his best. TNA run was eh, but isn't everyone's?

Not sure why it's so easy for so many people to hate on him. Pisses me off a little bit actually.

Also I posted that assuming that everyone has forgotten about the whole Shampoo commercial angle.

Hope this happens. Hope it leads to a few more months of the Book in WWE.

Everyone talks about WWE putting in a WCW guy in the HOF in ATL. and why not have the 5 time 5 time 5 time 5 time 5 time WCW champion at least make an appearance, and maybe be put in the Hall with his bro as Harlem Heat?

Im stretching a little as no one cares about WCW or Stevie Ray, but just thinking of stuff

I thought his king angle sucked, but that'd be interesting to see him go against triple H and Sheamus for the Highest King or something.

Maybe have Lawler and Triple H vs Sheamus and Booker T.


I wouldn't mind seeing a feud between Booker T and Kofi or Booker T and Jericho with Booker T as the face.

Pitch a Booker T/Kofi Kingston feud without the reasoning that they are both black people. I dare you.

Feud over whose fake accent was better

I mean...he and Edge did fight over a shampoo commercial

I was the biggest Booker T mark during his epic TV Title run back in WCW, and I loved when he finally won the World Title. He's had some awesome runs in the WWE, most notably his feud with Triple H leading to WrestleMania XIX (even though the finish of the match made him look like the biggest bitch ever) and his tag team work with Goldust.

If anyone deserves to be in the HOF it's Booker T and Harlem Heat.

Booker T is one of my top five wrestlers of all time. A return to WWE (even for one night) would be highly welcomed. :yes:

Yeah, i'd like him back. Minus the king gimmick. If/when he comes back he'll most probably be a face

King Bookah was the man. You're only hating him because you don't understand how epic a shitty catch phrase makes something.

Booker was one of the only things that kept me interested in WCW at the end.

If he did come back, would here be an automatic main eventer or be a mid carder ?

Never had a problem with Booker T. However, his reputation for being a crybaby backstage and not getting what he wanted was what made him leave last time.

I like Booker..... IMO, he's the most entertaining african-american in pro wrestling history (unless you count The Rock)

Think he'd have a couple of PPV main event matches. If he comes back at the Rumble, he'd probably be in one of the Elimination Chambers.

Then just be on the edge of the main event for a bit. It seems to be what happens with returning stars unless you're a total star.

I wouldn't mind seeing him come back as a face and feud with Del Rio.

ALL HAIL KING BOOKER! ALL HAIL KING BOOKER! ALL HAIL KING BOOKER! ALL HAIL KING BOOKER! ALL HAIL KING BOOKER! ALL HAIL KING BOOKER!ALL HAIL KING BOOKER! ALL HAIL KING BOOKER! ALL HAIL KING BOOKER!ALL HAIL KING BOOKER! ALL HAIL KING BOOKER! ALL HAIL KING BOOKER!


Best entrance ever. :nono:

spineroonie

exactly. "king bookaaaaaah" was hilarious. i really enjoyed it.

he was always hit or miss for me.

WHAT THE FUCK?

Thank you for ruining Booker's return, thank you for ruining what would have been my only mark out moment in a year.

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU NOT TYPE "SPOILERS" WHEN YOU TYPE WHAT THE SPOILER IS!!!!!!!!!

Now I know Booker is confirmed, he is my favourite wrestler, hearing his damn music hit would have made me mark out so bad, but no, you have to fucking ruin it, couldn't you make the title "Royal Rumble major spoilers" alone? Seriously man, use your goddam brain. Why not mark for spoilers but instead put the spoiler right there.

Fuck this shit, you're not the only one who does it, so many people do, i am out of the fucking wrestling forum besides for tipsters until The Rumble is over, see you all January thirty-first.

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

I like Booker, and they could use the starpower, but it's not like they NEED him or anything. If he came back, I'd use him as a face on SmackDown to work with the younger guys like Cody Rhodes, D-Mac, the Corre, ect.

Tooker B

I can dig this......

SPOILERS ON TWO BIG NAMES SET FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE PPV

By Mike Johnson on 2011-01-29 15:24:26

Booker T and Kevin Nash are both booked for the Royal Rumble as surprises, PWInsider.com has confirmed. As I noted yesterday, I suspected Booker was scheduled based on recent discussions with the company and based on Booker being pulled from his scheduled appearance at the New Orleans Comic Con. Company sources confirmed this morning he is in the Rumble.

WWE sources have also confirmed that Kevin Nash is booked for the Rumble and is scheduled to fly into Boston later today. Nash, who was in discussions with TNA as late as yesterday to finally finalize his deal to return to the company, will instead make his first appearance in a WWE ring in years.

TNA sources confirmed they ended their discussions with Nash within the last several days. The two sides had been going back and forth on signing a new deal in recent months and at one point, sources indicated that a new deal was done. That led to Nash accusing TNA's office of leaking the information, which led to new rounds of negotiations. Nash admitted in a recent interview he was negotiating with TNA. Those discussions ended sometime within the last 24-48 hours. Nash has been pulled off the TNA website's roster.

Woah. Did not see Nash coming out.

Fuck. Wish I didn't read that. Would have marked out. :(

Not blaming you, though. This is pretty much a spoiler thread.

Yeah me too I just hope he doesn't blow his quad again. :roll:

Would be pretty hilarious if he did, though.

Maybe he's here to one-up Vince and blow THREE quads! :shifty:

Also, if this is indeed the case, I could see Nash going into the HOF this year.

Also also, if a mod reads this, could you change the title to something relating to multiple Rumble spoilers? To get the spoiler out of the topic title at least?

That would be sweet. I would like to see Nash in the HOF.

Sorry about the spoiler too everyone, it was late and I was a pretty drunk when I posted this.

Might have gone with the Gohan spazz but not motivated enough.

Is it really even a spoiler? Furnas and Lafon could be returning at the Royal Rumble for all we know.

I wonder if Booker T and Kevin Nash being a rumble entrant will be their big return to the WWE or it'll just be like when Rob Van Dam showed up in the Rumble for a little treat but wasn't back with the WWE.

lol @ TNA planning a Main Event Mafia return before signing these guys. great fucking job there

yea, I know, I read it on the front page, but it's my fault for going in the link. can't help it :(

I didn't even realize that was going on. That's classic. I can't say I'm not surprised with the clusterfuck of an organization that TNA is. :rofl:

You just hate black people.

Damn, you figured me out. You know who else I hate...

anyone not in a wheelchair...

If you're not in a chair, I just don't care.

What if it's a black guy in a wheelchair?

He still hates him.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...n3g/wheels.gif

He probably loves the ginger from the Burger King kids club.

That's not possible. It's like a black guy having a job or a guy in a wheelchair having a functioning penis.

What if it's an able-bodied black midget in a wheel chair with fake legs to make him look like a normal sized person in a wheel chair?

Is Sheamus mocking me? :wtf:

good who wanted a mem reunion now they can work on there young faces, serves them right for trusting hall and nash again.

on nash i said before i see the outsiders going into the hall this year, with there klick buddy hbk. an i also see them being part of a taker screw job at mania.

Oh well that's okay, but only because his legs are lethal weapons and only if his name is Steve Blackman. Granted, he can't use them, but I can take them off and beat someone to death with them.

I was gonna post a thread the other day about how much I would mark out if the Wolfpac music hit and Nash came out during the rumble.

<font color=goldenrod>I had read that Nash had booked a Saturday flight to Boston a few days ago so I figured he'd show up.

I'll mark out one way or another. Probably not as much as I would have otherwise, but meh.</font>

Regret reading this now. Still will mark the fuck out.

According to PWInsider, he has landed in Boston and has dyed his hair brown.

I'm wondering if he'll be Big Daddy Cool? I'd mark pretty hard for the Diesel music.

Though he'll probably have this theme:

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pf17GUWVK3U?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pf17GUWVK3U?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object>

well he was Big Daddy Cool in 2003

yea, you posted that at the same time I did

Yeah but I want him in full Diesel gimmick.

They should have Kane be Fake Diesel instead of Kane, and have Nash come out. Hey, if they can wrap up the screw job 13 years later, they can wrap up the Fake Diesel storyline.

I would love to see Nash wrestle Kane at Wrestlemania.

What about Christian? A supposed to be member of the Main Event Mafia...and someone maybe due back from injury?

I'm actually somewhat excited about this news. I don't like Kevin Nash's singles WWE themes. I'd personally like it if he used the nWo theme (without forming the group), almost as a message to groups like Nexus and Corre -- reminding them of who started the prototype.

Nash would also be a pretty good pick to be revealed as the anonymous RAW General Manager. Come on -- fucking with people is just something Nash would do.

Booker T has been gone long enough that he is fresh, too. I think he would add quite a bit to the SmackDown! roster, actually.

I must see a Booker T vs. John Morrison spineroonie contest in the very near future.

Cool news.

He doesn't look as run down and 95 years old with his hair dyed. He should seriously keep it dyed.

He's looking good with the dye job.

As for the news, I'm actually pretty excited and now am bummed more so than I was that I won't be able to watch the event thanks to work.

Honestly, hearing Booker and Nash are gonna be there made me pull the trigger on getting it.

There are 34 names confirmed for the match. Triple H, Booker and Nash bring it up to 37. There are three spots open.

If they bring Steve Blackman back to eliminate Bryan Danielson, I will shit myself with glee.

Xero, I am having a hard enough time as it is. Please stop with the fantasy booking, as you are just destorying my Sunday prior to its arrival.

Probably best to not read the following, then.

From PWInsider:

Booker T has landed in Boston, MA.

Christian was also brought in for the PPV. I haven't heard what his role would be for the show, if any, but he was specifically brought in today for the show. For what it's worth, he isn't wearing his arm in a sling.

Hacksaw Duggan will likely appear on the show as he has a non-WWE booking in the area and is expected at the show.

I'm seriously starting to regret reading these spoilers. Maybe next year I won't read the wrestling forum for a week and avoid spoilers so it's more of a "holy shit" moment for me.

My brain said no but my heart said yes.

Hmmm...I love Christian and all, but I don't think a Rumble return is ideal. I don't think he'd have enough instant momentum to win as a suprise entrant, and I wouldn't want to book him in a losing effort on his first night back. Maybe he returns to screw Del Rio over.

Hacksaw can just go home. Nobody cares.

I might cry a little when I see all of these returns.

TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAITCH!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...s/TripleH1.jpg

Obviously, instead of HHH returning, now they'll throw Booker T...KING BOOKAAAAAAH vs Sheamus....and then HHH will come back and squash both of them.

Best thing I heard in a long time. Christ, when they announced the 40 spots I didn't give much of a shit. Booker T and Nash? i am going ape shit.
<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mvUf8N37DRU" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>

I really hope Nash comes back via Diesel gimmick, that would make my year. Him showing up either way is awesome.

Booker T, not too pumped for.

I don't think Triple H should show up at the Rumble. I do want to see him, but I think it'll have more impact on a RAW. Let Sheamus be eliminated from the Rumble by someone else. John Morrison is a good candidate, considering that they are still sorta kinda feuding, and Sheamus promised to toss him out. Maybe he and Daniel Bryan could work together to eliminate the High King? On RAW, Sheamus is none too happy, and calls out Morrison & Bryan. "Behold the king...the King of Kings." That is a mark out moment right there.

Christian doesn't need to return and win the Rumble. Have him show up, come out with a new shirt and some new attire, he tosses out Del Rio, and ruins his "destiny." More heat to what was a budding feud.

That's what I was thinking and stated such in my last post. I think that feud is going to have some legs. I'm guessing Edge retains long enough and possibly goes against Del Rio at Mania, possibly dropping the title to Del Rio then. I know it's fantasy booking and probably a pipe dream, but I'd love a Del Rio/Christian title program.

it's gonna be one ridiculous "load" tomorrow night

Wow...Booker and Nash...

what I would give for Shawn Michaels and/or Bret Hart to make a surprise entry. :drool:

Apparently Booker's return is permanent for the time being.

Hmm....I wonder where he will end up brand wise. There's quite a bit for him to do to keep him busy and useful for the next few years.

The bit I read says he's coming back as a wrestler and an announcer, but is not working a full schedule.

So who are the other names then? Only saw one get mentioned.
