Booker T hasn't had a good match in a long time. Does anyone else think that he could still put on a good performance? His best match in TNA featured A.J. Styles and Christian, and they struggled to carry him.

Cody Rhodes is good, but is he good enough to carry a lazy Booker T on his own? Hopefully, it won't be the lazy Booker T stepping into that ring.

Do I think Booker can still pull off a good match or two? Oh yeah. The Book can still hang, I think. I always liked him back in the day, I was one of the people really upset with how WM 19 turned out for him. I still watch that match and hope he wins every time.

I think he just needs the right motivation. I missed his TNA run, it was during those few years I just didn't watch.

One thing I noticed about WWE guys that go to TNA, they still try to wrestle that "WWE Style", it doesn't transition well, most of the time.

Guys like Christian and Angle can, the Book, maybe not so much. Here's hoping if he does come back, it'll be for some good television. I can always hope, right?

That was what I was thinking.

In the WWE, he proved that he was just as good as the champion, no matter which brand he was on. And even though he had to take on a "white man" gimmick to get a major title, he was very good.

But Booker T's year in TNA was poor at best. He didn't try hard in matches. He didn't even try hard in interviews. He was simply lazy. At one point, Scott Steiner was regularly replacing him in matches. That's right, SCOTT STEINER REPLACED BOOKER T.

That is why I am concerned. Booker T could put on a great effort, but will he?
