Booker T To Take Legal Action Against WWE For “Stealing” Talent?

By Nick Paglino

TNA’s Booker T has posted the following statement on his official charity website over at BookerTlow.com. "We suffered a setback recently when WWE unexpectedly pulled eight of the invited participants from our Fanfest. Each of these participants had already either gotten clearance from WWE or were not previously contacted to appear in any WrestleMania weekend activities this year. It was only after we published the list of participants that the WWE unlawfully interceded and deceptively worked to pull these talents from our event. As a side note, I have contacted legal representation about these deceitful tactics and will weight my options… I want to believe that the WWE, as large and powerful as it is, would be beyond examples of pettiness… I have been an underdog my entire life, so I have no problem in taking on yet another Goliath. And we all know what happened to Goliath, and I know you can dig that."
