Mordecai. (It'd make the most sense, if Mordy does interfere in the Booker/Taker match)
Watching his video promos, it's amazing how he could keep his whites so white after spending all his other free time buried in dirt.
smark/net attack wienerville advisory stays at BLUE alert - Guarded (With Benoit & Eddie being World & WWE champions you'd expect all's be right but couldn't do it due to Trish/Y2J character switches & whats the deal with JBL PPV main event)- 5/6

I don't think it would be Mordecai. He's got that Knights Templar thing going for him, which doesn't really jive with the whole living dead angle.
All I can think is it might be some kind of Zombie character to fill-out Booker's Voodoo priest angle as a side-kick.
Is anyone looking at the possibility that this means that: a) Booker T might actually go over the Undertaker at the next PPV b) Booker T might start using a different finishing move than the axe kick c) The Book End might get a more rasta-fied name that isn't so lame
This can all go horribly wrong, but I think we can all agree that there exists possible ways for this not to suck and it certainly has more upside than Bradshaw, Pay Per View Main Eventer.
If Smackdown brings in oldschool bruisers like that at your local corner bar, then I'm all for it. I like old school characters. Only I like mine like the beer drinkin', bowl smokin' tough guys like Adrian Adonis and Dick Murdoch who would come over to your house for a BBQ half cocked and still be there the next morning in the same lawn chair around the fire pit fully cocked. Fuck Aldo Montoya.
I never took Booker T serious (Spinarooni? My ass!), so I don´t really care what they will do to or with him, but all those retro characters start to scare me a little bit - Where is all of this supposed to end? Isn´t D-Von afraid of great heights? Let´s just use that! He could be a paranoid pilot! And Bubba seems to like to eat too much! He could become the new Bastian Booger! Imagine Bubba in Booger´s grey outfit!
WARNING: Attempting to imagine Bubba Ray Dudley in Bastion Booger's outfit may cause symptoms including, but not limited to, blindness, paranoid schizophrenia, paralysis and death. You should not attempt to imagine this scenario while driving or operating heavy machinery. Women who are pregnant or nursing should consult a doctor before imagining this scenario.
Wow. Seriously, though, if someone from WWE is actually reading this thread and writing all this stuff down in the “good idea” column, I fear for all our sanity. Well, I fear for our sanity anyway.
If you ask me, though, SmackDown will never truly get back on top until they have a rematch of the greatest match ever... Al Snow vs. Big Bossman, Kennel in the Cell II. [/sarcasm]

It's not likely, but maybe Kane? I mean, the Taker owes Kane for the WMXX squash match....

I can't see that. Not unless Kane sleeps in a grave covered in dirt all of the sudden. Also, Taker's WMXX squash WAS the payback for Kane burying him alive, so they should be even at this point (and have been booked as such).
It's gotta be someone new, or really old (Papa Shango was where I was thinking when I first heard about the skit).

Preach it, brother man. I kind of agree with the idea that kids these days are all desensitized and hardened and they watch R-rated movies when they're like four and say ass all the time, so I doubt this stuff is going to work out. But if you can make all the uppity people uncomfortable by getting the Dick Murdoch types of the world out there, then you might have something. Papa Shango might've scared little kids in 1992, but Dick Murdoch would scare grown men that drive affordable sedans in 2004.

Originally posted by The Vile1 but weren't a lot of people offended with Eugene at first too? It seems lately Eugene has grown on a lot of fans and people are starting to enjoy his work with Regal. Is it possible this could be made to work like Eugene Dinsmore?
I see what you're saying and it's pretty valid, but Dinsmore had not been a national fixture in pro wrestling for over ten years with the same character before they put him in the Eugene role. Every knows Booker T as Booker T. The only way I can see this working is if they do it as a split personality alter ego type of thing.
Or Booker could go to a graveyard and have some weird life altering experience - documented on television. Then we would have a reason and understand the transformation.
And yes, the most important thing I saw when reading this story was that MAYBE this meant Booker will go over UT.

Me too. I remember it like it was yesterday, the Ultimate Warrior had his kneepad stolen by Papa Shango. Then, in the middle of an interview with Mean Gene, he started bleeding from the headband.
I thought to myself, "This is stupid," and changed the channel.
