FFS why do both feds always do that, Nigel McGuinness is a perfectly good (and marketable) name. :x :P
They do it so they are able to own the name for marketing and so the wrestler can keep their previous name if they need it again. Because his actual name is Steven Haworth.
Booker T not renewed The word at Sunday's TNA Bound For Glory PPV was that TNA would not be renewing Booker T's contract when it expires in November. There was said to be talk that TNA President Dixie Carter would have a change of heart if Booker said the right things, but every indication right now is that he sealed his fate when he refused to job to Matt Morgan at the last set of iMPACT! TV tapings.
Creative booked the stretcher angle at the PPV to get him out of the match. We're told there was lots of eye rolling backstage over the way he acted as he was being stretchered out. One TNA source even added, "He's been such an asshole that most people were just happy to see him go."
The belief is that WWE has interest in bringing Booker back to the company once he is contractually available.
