Wow, WWE takeing a big hit.

That rumor, as it stands, is false. Apparently on his blog, Jim Ross said that Booker's absence was not due to him quitting. We can assume he's been suspended like most of the people not appearing on TV currently.

What Ross said was...

Quote:

There have been a fair amount of comments here regarding Booker T leaving the WWE or not. Thus far I would say that Booker’s absence from TV has zilch to do with an alleged “resignation.” Until Booker or the WWE makes this “rumor” official, I have serious doubts that we have seen Booker for the last time on WWE programming. Being north of 40 it might serve Booker well to slow down his road schedule somewhat, but I can’t see the Houston native hanging up his boots just yet. However, that is a question that can only be addressed by one man (Booker) and he has yet to make that announcement. Personally, if I were Booker I would continue to wrestle and make the cash for as long as my body and my mind say “do it”. This matter will most likely be resolved one way or another within the next couple of months or so. Until then, all one hears is rumor, unless it is from Booker himself or the WWE in an official press release.

I don't think JR is in a position where he knows backstage info anymore. He doesn't have anything to do with booking or talent relations. He's only an announcer on a weekly tv show.

Well, it was "officially" confirmed yesterday according to WWE's website. He was a top superstar at one time, and still could've been, but things happen...

He was a yawn fest the last few years in the WWE.

The whole king bookah routine was lame.

He did have him moments, but most of them were outside the ring:

YouTube - Booker T & Goldust @ 7-11
