Fight breaks out between Batista and Booker T
 

Fight breaks out at SummerSlam commercial shoot
May 8, 2006

SmackDown Superstars Batista and Booker T got into a knockdown, drag-out fight Monday afternoon on the set of World Wrestling Entertainment’s SummerSlam commercial shoot in Encino, California. Director of WWE Television Promotions, John Gaburick, tells WWE.com the fight broke out during the filming of a scene in the commercial which will be used to promote SummerSlam later this year. “The fight lasted at least five minutes, it was a brutal, bloody, vicious affair,” says Gaburick. “It took JBL, Mark Henry, Chris Benoit, Finlay and road agent Ricky Steamboat to finally break things up.”

Gaburick says, “Both men were banged up pretty good, both men were bloodied up.” After the fight, Booker T and Batista went behind closed doors to try and clear the air. Gaburick says both Booker T and Batista finished their required work on the commercial before leaving the set. When asked what the fight was about, Gaburick would only say “it’s a personal issue between two men.”

The SummerSlam commercial was filmed Sunday using RAW Superstars and Monday using SmackDown competitors.

WWE issued a text message this evening announcing that Batista and Booker T had "gotten into a fight" during a commercial shoot for the Summerslam PPV today in Anaheim, California. It would appear this would be an angle to start the build to Batista's return to the ring from his injuries.

Booker/Batista could be a good feud.

(Better than Booker/Boogeyman, anyway...)

I agree, but it makes no sense to have Batista be in another program and not the title that he never lost. Whatever floats their boat, I guess. Heh.

^ ^ whoa wonder what happened there? Also doesn't look good for business either. :look:

Its seems alot of stuff has been happening. It also looks like wresters are going in two's and threes with either being hurt or other things. It also seem that WEE business is losing alot with their wrestlers doing that kind of stuff or getting into trouble.

You mean that these things happening are bad for WWE? I mean I fell for a work last week (the Henry hurting Angle one) but this one seems to be pretty obvious. ;)

Whoa, I would have loved to see that fight.

I really wish Batista wouldn't come back with a feud with Booker. I would like to see him go straight for the title.

I'm guessing it's a work. I can't be sure, though. :look:

i always thought all the wrestlers got along, the more i read about all these fights behind the scenes the more i think they're behaving like 5 year olds and need to grow the heck up. some of these people are role models to young kids, it doesn't look good when even they can't control themselves.

It was a work:

from rajah.com:

Henry reported earlier here at Rajah that according to an article posted on WWE.com, Batista and Booker T “got into a fight” during a commercial shoot for the SummerSlam PPV yesterday in Anaheim, California. We are now able to confirm that was indeed a work in order to begin building hype for Batista’s long awaited return to the ring.

Remember that WWE.com is under new management with Michael Cole overseeing operations. He has turned the official website into more of a "work" to help further build storylines. Keep this in mind when reading any "official" articles on the official WWE website.

Anywayz, Go Booker!!!! could be a great feud for him...and that's sad to say.

Tell me about it. :rolleyes:

A Booker T/Batista feud could be great for Booker & perhaps would help Booker T become a main eventer in the WWE. Booker T is a 5 time WCW World Heavyweight Champion after all.

i liked the Boogyman/Booker T feud. i lked watching Sharmel get freaked out everytime she heard the Boogymans music, i thought it was funny.

LMAO, I hope Batista gets his. He deserves nothing he's gotten.
