WWS Special Editorial:

I DIDN'T QUIT WWE SO I COULD KEEP SMOKING WEED, BUT IT SURE DIDN'T HURT

A Guest Editorial by: Booker T

Hello fans. It's me, Booker T. Thank you for all of your support over the past 8 years, as I have been a part of the WWE.

As I leave WWE, I would like to set the record straight about my release. WWE is under great pressure from Congress to get more serious about the "Wellness Program." Some say that I asked for my WWE release simply because I like to smoke marijuana and the increased pressure will make it harder for a WWE talent to engage in this activity.

This is an outright lie.

Don't get me wrong; I do like to get high. Incredibly high. I'm high right now. On Purple Kush. This stuff is nutz. Its like a full body buzz that last for 6-8 hours. My arms and legs feel like they're floating. But playas, I digress… while I do love to smoke up, I actually requested my release because I have been unhappy in WWE for a while now.

Some say that my unhappiness is less a matter of frustration with WWE creative and its long term plans for my character and more a natural result of the depression and mood swings that can accompany massive prolonged weed consumption.

This is simply not true.

Weed is a wonder drug with no side effects whatsoever. It heals pain, it doesn't cause it. So chill. Look, I know that some say that I left WWE once and for all only after they decided to fine all wrestlers $1000 each time they test positive for marijuana.

Again, not true.

First, I know how to cheat on the test. Second, even if the test did somehow catch me what's a $1,000 bucks a couple of times a year? I'm rich. Hell, I'm a King. I'll pay that shiznit. But I know there are some that say I left WWE for TNA, where I can get a well paying job for less dates and not have to fear any drug policy.

This isn't true either, but it sure as hell don't hurt.

As I sit here with a key board under my finger tips and a vaporizer in my lap I think, thank you TNA for allowing me to work in an environment where Booker T can do what Booker T does best: put on a hell of a great performance in the ring and then spend the rest of the show backstage, soaring, trying to beat Halo 3.

Don’t hate the playa. Hate the game.
