The plan for Booker T is for him to become possessed by the spirit of Papa Shango. and for this whole Undertaker feud to wind up with him becoming heavily involved in voodoo. Visiting a psychic, going to a graveyard, and the gloved hand coming up from the ground is the beginning of the tranformation.

In other news, the Hirohito name has been dropped, due to people realising how offensive it was. He will now be known as 'Kenzo', and will have an entourage that consists of his wife (pictured on this forum a few days ago) and a bodyguard. The guy playing the bodyguard is a guy called Ken Yasuda, a 5'10", 265 lb US bodybuilder of Japanese ancestory. He's done a few movies, notably a lead in 'Cupids Mistake' - officialy the world's cheapest movie ever made, in the Guiness Book of Records (cost $980 to make).

Good Lord, I dont think Meltzer is Jokeing either, Which lead's me to say one thing, May God have mercy on our soul's!!!

Smackdown is becomeing the joke show full of Cheesey Lame Ass Gimmick's IMO. Look at it this way Papa Shango was around in the 90's, It's the year 2004, and IMO The stroy line make's no sense. So am i ment to believe that the Woman Booker T Made a visit to on Smackdown is Shango's mother? :confused: But for some reason Booker T Could possibly make this Gimmick work, His character has been stale since last year, So you never no, This could just be what his character need's. Then again it could be booked well and could infact turn out good, But speaking of thing's Smackdown has alot of thing's that could be booked good.

Also what is it these day's with Wrestler's having there Entourage like Group's? I'm quite excited about seeing Kenzo debut and seeing what he can do, But in the last Month or so we've seen Tyson Tomko, Christian and Trish form some sort of Managerial/Body Guard role's! How many more are comeing on RAW Soon?

Thoughts?

I dont think Booker T's new gimmick will work but they could do a lot worse.

Whichever way you look at it, he needed a Gimmick change.And at least this is making a rather boring feud interesting.

Mind you, being posessed by the Godfather does bring interesting thoughts...maybe he'll bring so ho's to the ring?

Booker T RIP. This gimmick is going to kill you. But anyway, i hope they don't have him bring the hos to the ring.

I think that it's good that the WWE is thinking "outside of the box" like they used to. There's only so many gimmicks that you can give people without dealing with the supernatural, and I think that the WWE has gone through all of them, and some of them twice. Example: Chris Jericho when he was King of the World and Christian. Basically the same guy, same gimmick.

LMAO! PAPA SHANGO! Oh man, Meltzer needs to kill himself.

As for Hirohito, he's just another overhyped Japanese wrestler. Not saying he's not any good, they just won't know how to use him.

The Paparoonie springs to mind as I read this one.

Ummmmmm really I dont know what to think. It isnt great when you see an old gimmick being regurgitated and by golly a load of 12 year olds will be sitting at home saying, "Papa Shanwho?" Well I guess at least they have had some thought about Booker T... ummm...... **** it this is going to be funny. Smackdown RIP.

Kenzo keeps on getting his debut pushed back but his gimmick looks good. Sure he has some peeps come to the ring with him but thats cool with me.

BTW just got a thought. Maybe RVD can get possessed by the spirit of the Cat in the Hat. Now that would make for some TV.
