ALright, we know King Booker wasn't too happy with the move to raw, as it is pretty noticable, he will become a upper card jobber. But how should they use booker, so he still maintains some creditabily? I've thought of a few good scenarios. (At least i think)

1) Tag Team Champion....Thats right, the opposites of King Booker and Shelton Benjamin. They could combine and take over a weak tag division, and really make it fun to watch again. Bookers great promo skills, mixed with benjamins in ring talent is sure to be a sucess. Look at the positives. Booker will be given a good role, as a mentor to shelton. SHeltons career will be on teh upside. The tag divison gets a lot more entertaining. Booker isnt jobbing week in and out. I like the idea.

2) ECW Champion. Thats right, with Beniot out, ECW is missing that vetern role. King Booker can be used and really have the show centered around him. He can be a very entertaining character, while helping the younger new breed ECW. ECW would become a more entertaining show, with a respectable champ.

3) Booker T Sucka. Turn booker face and fued with Umaga over the IC Strap. Can you dig that?


What do you guys think?

Yeah, Booker with ECW title would make ECW better, but then in order for that to happen he would have to make another move.

ECW, or he plays the upper mid card/main event title chaser role for the rest of this year.

I think he could have a first class fued with Cena for abit and then move to ECW because it would be too soon if he moves straight away. The Tag Team idea would work well and fianlly turning him face might be good but I don't think the WWE would change him until there is another King of the Ring. Or Maybe make him face the other King for the King honors lol

1) About the idea with him being a tag team with Shelton is not a bad idea but I wouldnt make that move. I think Shelton is great with Haas as TWGTT. They put on a hell of a show with The Hardyz in that ladder match they had a while back. I say TWGTT should be tag team champs right now.

2) Moving Booker to ECW? Interesting? I dont know. I think ECW got some nice young talent in the Heavyweight Division and I like how the Nitro/Punk feud is going and I wouldnt mind seeing Monty Brown and Elijah in the mix.

3) I like this idea the most. Turn him back to Booker T and have him beat Umage. Now I can dig that.......Suckkkkkaaaaaa!!!!

Hmmm well number 2 is out for me.It takes away the credibility of the draft to have him randomly moved there without reason...Also I read that apparently he's fine with the Raw thing now..But anyways Im fine with where he is now but if i Had to choose from your list I say the tag team because as you said,itd be very entertaining...
Edit:Actually Id like a King Bookers Court reformation:
Have Him and Sharmell as King and Queen...
Regal and Kennedy as Knights
and 1 or two others below them...I hope that happens because stables are great..

ok, i started to like the king gimmick since he came to raw. so, i suspend the sucka T for now.

its impossible for booker to leave raw now, just not yet. i believe that if someone's gonna move soon to ecw from raw, its gonna be santino to team up with marella or vice versa.

so for now, he should tag with shelton after shelton gets rid of gay hass. until they lose for some time, he moves to ECW and become the chump :)

Why Do You Care?
1) i like the Tag Team Thing. ive always kinda pictured those two as a tag team anyway.

2) idk. i dont really want to see him in ECW. and remember sometime last year he vistited ECW and was "appalled" by them.

3) TELL ME YOU DIDNT JUST SAY THAT! jk. i like this one too. it would be a good IC Champ and probably give the IC Belt some meaning.

overall, if the Tag thing didnt work out, id go for the IC CHamionship plan.

1. Interesting idea, but I would much rather see TWGTT continue to team and actually be booked properly as viable contenders for the tag titles. TWGTT / L&K / Cryme Tyme make a great tag division and could last through to the fall.

2. No thanks. He was just moved to Raw, so it would make the draft look weak. Plus, with the new direction ECW is taking, it would 'ruin' it. I like the fact that Punk/Nitro are the major players om the brand. If WWE feel they need to add someone to the mix, turn Cor Von face and add him and Burke to the mix.

3. This is the best option out of the three. However, I wouldn't make him drop the King gimmick. I want to see if/how Booker would pull off this gimmick as a face. I think it has the potential to be a great face gimmick, as he uses his English accent to take the piss out of heels. I could see some great promo's from Booker as a face King. Also, an Umaga/ Booker feud could be really good. Umaga is better than most people give him credit for and both men would be coming off a run in the ME scene, adding more credibility to the IC Title.

- Although I chose option three, I would hold off on this move, until Booker had feuded with Cena for a short time, possibly a month or two. There is still a lot of milage in Booker as a ME player and a Cen/Booker feud could be a big success on Raw.

He should go back as Booker T for a start. Work with some new moves and eventually battle for the WWE title, he shouldn't move again he didn't want to move in the first place so moving him again would anger him more.

I don't see the point in re-packaging him as Booker T, just to 'work his back back up' to the position he currently at. Just turn him face, keep his current gimmick and have him feud with Orton/Kennedy/Umaga. That is another option.

I think that as thigs are right now, he will feud Triple H. And probably if after this feud there is a KOTR we will have an interesting feud with the KOTR winner. I don't want to see Booker going to the IC title, he is ME material, just give him a high profile feud or a Cena feud.

Yehh it is pretty much a lock that he will feud with Triple H upon his return (due to the backstage promo where he was watching Triple H's return promo) and due to the connection between their gimmicks (King/King of Kings).

Booker as ECW Champ would be a very good move, and also make Booker happy since WWECW is taped with Smackdown. If this move were to happen, I can only see good come of it.
