- While there have been rumors of Booker T returning to WWE at the Royal Rumble, sources report that negotiations with him and WWE have fallen apart because Booker asked for a deal that included a very limited schedule. One described the deal as an "HBK-style deal."

Booker T told Monday Night Mayhem last week that he was interested in returning to WWE as a TV announcer as he wasn't too sure about the grueling WWE schedule as a wrestler.

TV Announcer?, Booker can't talk

lmao, posted at the same time. Will take my down.


I thought Booker was funny when he announced in TNA, but not as a regular.

This guys is out of his fucking mind. He's such a pain in the balls even TNA got fed up with his shit.
Also, do I really need to go on Youtube and find the video of Booker doing commentary while he was in MEM on iMPACT? If that was a weekly thing I would seriously stab myself in the ear with a pencil.

Well Booker is 44 turning 45 this year so I don't see how a HBK-style schedule would be out of the question. The commentary, not so sure about that.

Most likely he wanted the same, or close to the same, pay that HBK/Taker are getting too. Taker and HBK can wrestle once a year, you put them in a ME that one time a year that PPV will sell. You do that to Booker, not so much.

HBK has status, the juice, the years. Booker just came from the rival company and he's asking for an HBK/Taker schedule. It isn't like WWE is begging him to come back

Let us not forget that Booker isn't fit to lace Taker or HBKs boots... These are deals that Vince uses to keep some of his greatest assets in the company for that little bit longer.

Booker T = delusions of grandeur.

Bit of a Jarrett IMO, in as much as he earned a rep for being a ME-er in a dying company.

I've not missed Booker in the slightest since he's been gone from WWE and IMO he was pretty damn shit throughout his entire TNA run.

WOW! Just when you thought Booker could not do something more ridiculous and now this. I actually liked Booker's gimmick and all in TNA but then when his ego and pride began to stick out again, like TNA I was through with him as well. This seems like the end of the road for Booker and he needs to realize that just like himself, he needed a break into the business as well at one point and also at some point, he shall have to put either his pride aside or himself with it.

Even as an Announcer, I am sure WWE will find a way to get him involved in a match even if it means to put someone over just as he did not want to do in TNA. Either way, he loses on that one.

I beg to differ he has some interesting choice of words :)

THIS^^

Always thought Booker was a fan favourite, like he's a great mid-carder who you'd like to see main event but once they've gotten there, you get tired of them. I felt he overstayed his welcome. In the Main Event that is.

hmm if Booker T was ever gonna get a HBK style deal in WWE. He hasn't done jack in WWE unlike HBK.

I think Booker T nixed his own blessings when he decided to act a fool in TNA and now he is in a situation where he might not be able to not only go back to TNA, but get into WWE either.
