Booker T An Announcer? Rey Mysterio At WM22...
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. Credit: WrestlingExposed |

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?

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.

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). |

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.

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. |

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. |

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.
