STATEMENT FROM BOOKER T REGARDING WWE RELEASE
By: Bob Ryder
10/17/2007 7:50:12 AM

Booker T and Sharmell posted a statement on their official website, BookerTOnline.com, regarding their release from WWE.

Here is the full statement:

We want to begin by thanking the many wonderful WWE fans that we have had the privilege of entertaining over the last eight years. Sharmell and I have enjoyed the opportunity to put smiles on your faces night after night. We also want to thank everyone in the wrestling community for their support of our very own P.W.A. (Pro Wrestling Alliance). The dream of bringing professional wrestling back to my home town of Houston, Texas is coming to fruition, and we have you to thank for it.

I want to address something that has been on my mind for quite some time now in regards to my recent suspension from WWE. I want to state for the record that I was not taking any illegal substance, or anything outside of my physician's care, and that the suspension was unwarranted. However, rather than fight the suspension or publicly voice my discontent, I used this recent hiatus to rest, work with the P.W.A., and reflect on the direction of my career as a professional wrestler. I also, for the record, have never at any time ordered anything from "Signature Pharmacy". This allegation is upsetting, and the careless and slanderous reporting of this matter is currently being addressed by my legal counsel.

I would like to also address any possible rumors or misinformation regarding our release from WWE. I had been unhappy for quite some time with the direction that the Company was going in. In fact, I asked for my release back in July for that very reason. However, after further contemplation, I decided to continue on with WWE because of my passion for this industry and my desire to entertain the fans. Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that my unhappiness with my work environment was beginning to take a great toll on other aspects of my life. I knew that it was time to make some extremely tough decisions. Therefore, in the interest of my mental, physical, and spiritual well being, I along with my wife, asked for our release from World Wrestling Entertainment for the second time within months. We were graciously granted our release and we have since amicably parted ways. While the business relationship between ourselves and the WWE has ended, we will continue to be involved in Professional Wrestling. We hope that our loyal fans will follow us as we make this transition.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, and we will see you soon!

Booker T. and Sharmell

I'm watching a vh1 top 20 countdown, and Jericho is on it, and I just gotta say he looks great. I like him better with short hair.

Masters I'm not really surprised about, but WTF Harry? It hasn't even been a fuckin' month yet?

Not entirely surprising, considering he's been caught twice with the juice.

daigong · « **Reply #955 on:** November 19, 2007, 12:35:36 AM »

Tonite:

lol if Shawn Michaels attempts to use his Sweet Chin Music, he will be disqualified and will not receive another title shot as long as Orton is champion.

mode107 · « **Reply #956 on:** November 20, 2007, 11:34:21 PM »

And he can still work the mic like no one else on the roster.

Reanimation · « **Reply #958 on:** November 21, 2007, 02:52:49 AM »

his return was epic imo. the charisma that was totally lacking from the show.

Did anybody watch Survivor Series? If anyone did I just wanted to know if, during that math between Hornswoggle and Khali, when Khali slapped Horns knocking him to the ground, was Shane running up side of the ring to help Horns out? That scene made me a little curious.
