Today's WWS Top Story:
WWE RELEASES EVERYONE
After releasing Booker T, Sharmell, Kristal, Eugene, Cryme Tyme, Daivari, Sabu, Sandman, Marcus Cor Von, RVD, Joey Mercury, Teddy Hart, Too Cold Scorpio, Buck Quartermaine, and Robert Gibson in recent months, WWE just said f*** it this afternoon and released everyone else on the roster.
TNA TO SIGN EVERYONE
After WWE released the entire roster, TNA creamed their jeans and offered to sign everyone immediately.
Yesterday's Top Story; 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.
