Other than Styles (Lets face it, if you have any talent at all Styles can have a good match with you), Roode is the only maybe I can think of for Booker and that was nearly two years ago when Booker debuted. Nash and Steiner have good matches on and off but nothing superb. Foley hasent wrestled that much and was never a great wrestler to begin with, so add in his age and I think you are expecting too much of him. Abyss has had plently of really good matches.

Re: TNA Got Nigel, WWE Got.... Booker? =/

Really? The only good match I remember with Abyss was someone who can really just have chemistry with anyone, as you stated, and that was Aj Styles in 2005, which was also just the year of AJ for pro wrestling anyway. Though their styles are a tad different, I really think Styles is like Chris Benoit in terms of working with his opponents.

As for the Booker situation, I've always been intrigued as to why Booker and HBK never really had a high profile match ( though HBK's injuries might be why) but I would have loved to see that match when HBK was done sooner with HHH and Booker stayed in singles teritory besides having random makeshift teams. Also, do It at a time where Booker actually looked good. Other than that, I don't see the need for Booker to come back to a place he was unhappy at and will probably have nothing for him.

I think he is looking for a big payday again, he knows he is short on time. Pretty soon he will have to focus fully on his own promotion.

By the way.. the report yesterday that Nigel failed a drug test seems to be inaccurate. Now people are saying that WWE didn't like what they saw in a physical because Nigel had torn his biceps in the past and had numerous concussions.

Pretty much. The WWE changed their minds, Nigel knew that TNA had been wanting him for years and gave them a call and they jumped at the chance to sign him. Kinda amusing.

Re: TNA Got Nigel, WWE Got.... Booker? =/

It's a situation that while Booker wants to get paid a decent amount for his seniority, I think the WWE can utilize an old hand in Booker and use him in a way that works to elevate younger talent. Should Booker feel the need to work a 300 day a year schedule? Not really but I can see plenty of the young talent in the WWE asking Booker for advice which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. While people will complain about Booker having an attitude problem backstage with TNA, Booker has been showing his age and really isn't at the point in his career where he needs to be showcased. I think its rediciulous shoving talent onto the show left and right in the span of a 2 hour program because if the talent isn't on, then they don't get paid. As for the Nigel thing, I'm proud for him. He's actually getting a shot to be showcased in a much better chance than he would if he were to start in the WWE. Is he injury prone? I'd say a good portion of Nigel's career has been coming back too soon from numerous concussions and injuries because he wanted to retain his top spot. I was a big Nigel fan when he was in ROH but TNA is taking a risk to actually showcase him prominently. I'm not into the whole "His name is awful" because up until now there was no substance to that name. Will it make TNA TV worthwhile to tune in for the next few weeks? Yes because the IWC knows who Nigel is while most of TNA's audience wouldn't have a clue who this guy is. I just hope he stays healthy and can continue to contribute to the TNA product. TNA's taking a risk but he's a guy that can work and a guy that can spit his lines clearly so that everybody would listen. I'm happy that they are though giving him more of a shot to succeed that Lashley who would jump as soon as his MMA career actually became something instead of his one big accomplishment was beating up a terrible fighter in Bob Sapp.

Abyss has entertaining spotfests. So unless you like those you arent going to like his stuff. He and Rhyno are responisble for my TNA fandom though, so he must be doing something right.


As far as Booker T goes, good riddance. He always annoyed the hell outta me and never contributed a damn thing to TNA. I would like to see him in ECW helping to get over younger people though.

Re: TNA Got Nigel, WWE Got.... Booker? =/

The only problem I have with the name Desmond Wolfe is the alias Mr. Wolfe, which eerily similar the Mr. Wolf from The Kill Point, a mini series that aired on Spike TV a couple years ago. It pisses me off, but it was a great mini series.

I don't see him as being nothing more than a main event jobber if he goes back to WWE, and he's lucky if he gets that roll.
