Sikotic™:
Plus this whole idea of wrestlers quitting is kinda stupid because they're UNDER CONTRACT! You can't just quit unless the WWE agrees to it.
If anybody really thinks that the WWE is gonna allow two of the best wrestlers on their roster to just quit and potentially go work for the competition is crazy.
What the WWE would do is send them home and let them collect a paycheck until their contracts run out.

--- Quote from: Paul on September 09, 2007, 02:30:17 PM ---In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reports that Robert Huffman (King Booker) quit WWE when he was told that he was to be suspended for 60 days, as a punishment to the Signature Pharmacy bust. He was believed to have failed a Wellness Program test before, hence the 60 days suspension instead of 30.
While WWE is still trying to negotiate Huffman's staying with them, they're going on under the impression he's done. The two sides had been having troubles recently, with a major setback being John Laurinaitis' call to go with Florida for a developmental territory - where WWE would start from scratch - instead of going with Booker's already established PWA, which WWE had been loaning wrestlers to. After they made the call to stop that, Booker went to his friends at TNA and booked them for his shows instead, which didn't sit so well with anyone backstage, but they couldn't say much having pulled WWE talent from PWA.
Booker is pretty much set financially and has wanted out of wrestling for a while. At age 42, he's accomplished a lot, and thanks to his hip hop store doing well in Houston, and his two wrestling schools up and running, there's really no need for him to stick around.

I'd quit too of I was Book at the end of Wrestlemania. I think it's time for him and his wife to start getting some prince and princesses out in the world. She's not that old compared to him, and it might be time for the Bookerman to hang it up soon. I know he wanted one last run at a World title, which he got last year, and basically his career is almost up anyways, which he knew for the last few years. It sucks for wrestling fans, but I seriously think instead of counting on Booker and Flair, WWE NEEDS TO START PUSHING THE YOUNGER TALENT. Shelton, Carlito, Punk, they were nowhere near the steriod bust, and honestly Punk and Carlito don't look like they get close to a workout room either... j/k. But on the real, your young talent that ain't making negative headlines needs to be push. Booker is almost ready to go, his been saying for years. His set up with his own business and wrestling school, his got a small territory in Houston, he gots a beautiful wife who's a former black America, Booker is set, even with the suspension, I ain't mad at him. It's time for the WWE to start pushing the young guys.
