Also, the spin-a-roonie was funny by the name alone back in WCW when Mark Madden used to say it, but Booker never even acknowledged it.

2. Get a new finisher. This might be the more difficult of the two changes, but the axe kick doesn't cut it as a finisher, IMO. No Bookend, either, since whether or not The Rock decides to be full-time, fans will always think of that move as the Rock Bottom. The Houston Hangover would be good to go back to, but I heard he actually hurt someone with that when he tried it in WWE.
The WWE told him to stop using the Spin-A-Rooinie because it generated too much of a face reaction from the crowd. They want him to tease the Rooine and then not do it so the fans can boo him

I also agree that he needs a new finisher. The Axe Kick is crap, The Bookend is a cheap ripoff of The Rock Bottom, Houston Hangover would be good but it should only be used on special occasions (Wrestlemania). I remember in WCW he used a Missle Drop Kick (before he started to immitate The Rock) and it looked pretty sick
