That's what I was assuming...honestly, I am not all that bothered about not seeing Booker again. I like him but he's not one of those stars whose presence is felt for him to actually be missed when he's not around to me.

That really isn't fair to fire him for that. He's been around way longer than HHH

Not in WWE. Trips has atleast earned his WWE cred.
And don't even start about Stephanie, either. That's such a crap excuse.

All booker wanted was to be able to sit in on his Production meeting about his summerslam match against 3H just to be sure he wasn't going to be buried....was that too much to give him, I guess so cause he didn't get to sit in, and of course he was going to be buried by 3H, who hasn't been  |

Like anyone sitting in would've made a difference lol. Like Booker would have hyped up a main event type match properly. I'm sorry, Rico. I don't think it would matter who he'd be up against, the guy can't afford to rely on mere wrestling to survive on screen anymore and even his wrestling isn't heartstopping to watch. His best day is long past now.

Following their release, King Booker and Sharmell released the following statement:
Announcement
We want to begin by thanking the many wonderful WWE fans that we have had the privilege of entertaining over the last eight years. Sharmell and I have enjoyed the opportunity to put smiles on your faces night after night. We also want to thank everyone in the wrestling community for their support of our very own P.W.A. (Pro Wrestling Alliance). The dream of bringing professional wrestling back to my home town of Houston, Texas is coming to fruition, and we have you to thank for it.
I want to address something that has been on my mind for quite some time now in regards to my recent suspension from WWE. I want to state for the record that I was not taking any illegal substance, or anything outside of my physician's care, and that the suspension was unwarranted. However, rather than fight the suspension or publicly voice my discontent, I used this recent hiatus to rest, work with the P.W.A., and reflect on the direction of my career as a professional wrestler. I also, for the record, have never at any time ordered anything from "Signature Pharmacy". This allegation is upsetting, and the careless and slanderous reporting of this matter is currently being addressed by my legal counsel.
I would like to also address any possible rumors or misinformation regarding our release from WWE. I had been unhappy for quite some time with the direction that the Company was going in. In fact, I asked for my release back in July for that very reason. However, after further contemplation, I decided to continue on with WWE because of my passion for this industry and my desire to entertain the fans. Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that my unhappiness with my work environment was beginning to take a great toll on other aspects of my life. I knew that it was time to make some extremely tough decisions. Therefore, in the interest of my mental, physical, and spiritual well being, I along with my wife, asked for our release from World Wrestling Entertainment for the second time within months. We were graciously granted our release and we have since amicably parted ways. While the business relationship between ourselves and the WWE has ended, we will continue to be involved in Professional Wrestling. We hope that our loyal fans will follow us as we make this transition.
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, and we will see you soon!
Booker T. and Sharmell

Wow. I hope PWA gets off the ground at some point.
At least he didn't do the TNA "Bash former employer" bit
