Reposted on: 24.2.10 2218.33 | The night that Orton and Bautista electrocuted Golddust, I started a thread saying that it looked like the WWE was at least laying the foundation for Booker T vs. HHH at WrestleMania. I am glad to see that the WWE is still moving in that direction after Booker won the title shot in the battle royale on Raw.
Of course, I must temper the feeling by pointing out that they do have plenty of time and ways to change that matchup before the time comes. But, as of right now, it's looking like Booker T will have the opportunity to become the Six Time, Six Time, Six Time, Six Time, Six Time, Six Time World Heavyweight Champion. | Promote this thread! |             | Smackfiend

I know you're just doing your little gimmick but, I actually think Booker has a decent chance to win that title at WrestleMania, especially with HHH's recent injury problems. But, I'll settle for a good match that at least has Booker pushing HHH to the edge. | The King of Keith

As the show was going off the air, The Book raised his right hand with five fingers up, then raised his left with 1 finger up to signify 6. If Booker is going to beat HHH at 'Mania, they better give him some impressive winds to build up his rep with fans. He gets the pop, but WWE is going to have to give him some wins so fans will truly believe in him beating the mighty HHH. | Davros

It was the first time in a long time, that the 12-year old inside could go "Yes!!!!!!" instead of the 34-year old "smark" who was expecting Rocky to go over.

Reposted on: 25.2.10 0114.31 | I always thought he'd look at five, then lower four to both signify his 6 wins and then the fact that he's number one.
By the way, it's been a long road from Booker showing up and pissing the Rock off to the fans praying Book would draw the Great One's blood. Fuck smarkism, pessimism, and the conspiracy theories... I just walked away happy from a Raw.

Reposted on: 25.2.10 0229.01 | Well, I'm pissed. I was seriously thinking it would come down to The Rock and Hurricane at the end, with the Hurricane winning by fluke.
I'm not saying that they wouldn't have some sort of match next week to get the title shot off of him, but doing something like that once in a while is what gives the show new life, and I thought they set those two up perfectly for something like that.

I can see Book taking it at 'Mania if H holds onto it. He hasn't really been buried, as much as we like to say he has. He had that one match where he lost fairly clean to Trips before the Elimination Chamber match, but it was on a RAW where nothing happened and no one will remember it if it isn't brought up.
He is the only RAW talent of that calibre who is fathomable in the title match at 'Mania. RVD is done and can't cut promos for grown-ups anyway. Steiner obviously isn't cookin' it at Mania with Trips if they're meeting at the Rumble; otherwise they wouldn't have given it away. Book is our only choice unless they go back to Shawn. And they won't because it looks like Shawn/Jericho at 'Mania.
If you think about it, Book is really the only choice they've had. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a long-term plan for WWE...As long-term as they are capable of getting, anyway.
