Now I'm satisfied.

-- Below is Marty Jannetty’s explanation of why he will not be on RAW this coming Monday:

“OK, for my fans, family and friends, here is the situation....Due to travel restrictions I have as part of a probation agreement, I was denied travel this week to Birmingham, Alabama for Monday Night Raw. As you could or should imagine, this is a disaster for WWE as they now have to go back and rewrite a major portion of their show in which I was to be included in, and with less than 3 days notice. The fact that this could happen again at any given time my PO decides against me traveling, is good reason for WWE to be concerned in another major disaster especially with WrestleMania coming up. Could you imagine that 2 days before that show I'm told I can NOT go to Chicago. Please understand WWE's position, and believe in them as they have not closed the window of opportunity yet. We are working hard right now on getting all travel restrictions lifted. It is a good possibility that it will happen. If you really care and are concerned, believe me when I say, prayer works and is greatly needed and appreciated right now. I'm getting tons of e-mails from friends and fans hating Vince and the WWE right now. They are not at fault!!! And, they are supporting me on this, so no more hating on them, ok?? I thank all of you for your support, cares and concerns. I love you all!!! I do have a strong gut feeling everything is going to be fine!!!!”

Seems like he wasn't fired then.

Apparently the program got lost in the upgrade. Just means we will have to be extra careful with Spoilers.

 

[PARANoIR]

Boogeyman v Booker T for the US title? What the hell?

 

[thuganomics]

Yea. I'm assuming Henry costs Benoit the belt if that is true.

 

[lockyno1]

Another Booker T run!

I'll just say this Boooorrring!

 

[thuganomics]

I don't mind Booker T's last run, but don't really wanna see him with the belt. Nor do I want to see Boogeyman with the belt. Hopefully its way of track and they go for Benoit vs Henry for the US title.

 

[Misanthrope]

The only part of Booker T's last US Title run that I liked was the very end, when he was dodging matches. He's not a terribly entertaining worker in ring.

 

[lockyno1]

He's not a terribly entertaining worker in ring.

We agree on something!

 

[PARANoIR]

Yeah, Bookers WAY past his best now. Its rediculous. Im not sure what's worse, his in-ring or his commentary.

 

[thuganomics]

Bookers commentary is excellent in my opinion. Much better then coach :lol: Booker is hilarious on commentary and I think Sharmell is one of the best female mic workers currently.

 

[Ridders]

how can u not love the book man on commentary....Booker T = greatest commentator ever ....he's got so much enthusiasm and some of his calls just crack me up albeit he does get a bit carried away sometimes

while i don't like his in-ring work i'm always happy too see him drop by the commentators table

Bookers commentary is excellent in my opinion. Much better then coach :lol: Booker is hilarious on commentary and I think Sharmell is one of the best female mic workers currently.

Nicely said, how could you hate him on commentary?! He shuts that goose Cole up, and is hilarious! Keep him on permanently I say. :lol:

 

[Misanthrope]

Booker T should look at becoming a full time announcer when he retires. His commentary on Benoit matches during their feud was easily the highlight.

 

[Ben]

Does anyone find him a little hard to understand.?

 

[lockyno1]

Vince McMahon has come up with a plan to help John Cena's support from the fans. The philosophy he has come up with will address Cena's limited in-ring performance. McMahon was behind the idea of having Triple H verbally attacking Cena's in-ring ability. He has come to realize that he can no longer ignore the crowds dislike for Cena. There will be more promos criticizing Cena as a bad in-ring performer over the next several weeks.

Before McMahon came to realization that it would be best to not ignore the crowds response, management were committed to protecting Cena's image due to the long-term plan of keeping him as a credible opponent for Triple H and because he plays the off-air role of a champion very well.

So now Vince admits that Cena sucks in ring! It only took him 12 months!

 

[PARANoIR]

Cena can actually be good in the ring. The WWE just dont let him apparently.
