And a shell of his former self? Kurt Angle was probably the best wrestler to ever step foot in a wrestling ring, when he joined TNA, he bacame a washed up wrestler who everyone hated (all of a sudden) so my question is, how long before the IWF'ers do the same with Booker? I say its already began...

2002? Its no secret Booker is past his prime, BUT he is a great vetern on the roster to help the younger guys.

Who hates Kurt Angle? And how's he washed up? Kurt Angle is still better than most of the business today at what he does. The thing about Booker is he's always been consistant, so it's hard to tell. He's a damn hard worker and I can't see him really doing anything wrong concerning drugs or overworking his body. I say he has a lot of years, doing something similar to Michaels, who like him can still work like no other at his age.

5 years maybe. He can keep going on if he wants to. It's his choice.

I for one think Angle still has a few good years left in him, it just seems when he joined TNA alot of wrestling fans (on this site, and other sites) views on him changed. I dont know if its the fact that he wasnt with the E anymore, or if they really felt that way, but I say Kurt still has atleast a few years left. As far as Booker, I'm sure he has alot left. He wrestles a style thats safe, I dont see much injuries in his future. I honestly made this thread to see how many people would write him off, but to my surprise, most of you seem to think he has years left in him.

booker is in great physical condition and the fact that he wrestles a conservative style and TNA schedule is not as hefty as in wwe means that he should have at least two more years left in him.

if u give Booker good bookings,he will surely perform..now that he has indeed joined TNA,it will definately bloster the heavyweight division..we have guys like Angle,Nash,Sting,Christian,Kaz and now Booker T..booker has the experience..TNA should use him wisely and not waste his talent like the way WWE did in the past few months..he will definately fued with Angle for the Title,no doubt about that..

Booker is solid and I see another six years or so. Hell and now that he is in TNA that means I will get to see a whole lot more of TNA guys at his promition. I go to the show every month and this month's Main Event is Booker T vs. Christian Cage.


The thing about them coming to his promition is that they are a whole lot nicer.

he still has some years left in him....like most have said he has a style that's conservative so there isn't much chances for injuries....they can still happen but not as often which will help....

Been there done that.

At least in WWE Booker could still say he was a top 10 guy.

Not in TNA though.

I didn't even hear a big pop when he debuted which is bad news for Bookah.

Oh well, at least he's another name guy as TNA slowly recycles some of WCW's castoffs. And I would imagine he's coming at a fraction of the pay, just like the rest.

Good business.

On iMPACT last week most of the fans there seemed excited that Booker is in TNA & I thought he did get a good pop from the crowd. Either way, Im thrilled that he's in TNA.

All I'm sayin is that it won't be long til he smashed by fuck-ups like Lance Hoyt and Primetime.

I say he went past his prime when he ended his fued w/ HHH...he just didn't click to anyone anymore and he just looked washed up. I really think this way, and I always have, Carlito isn't that special either...so you're going to hear the same thing from me when he leaves for TNA...I still don't think he's special in any way. I really don't find him very good...same with Booker.
