TNA News Booker T discusses WWE Smackdown lead writer Michael Hayes's suspension, Bobby Lashley's future Jun 19, 2008 - 02:41 PM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Booker T commented on the 60-day suspension that Smackdown lead writer Michael Hayes served for using a racial slur. "I never had any problems with Michael Hayes," Booker told the UK Sun. "I feel like that issue was just one person not knowing the other. I've known Michael for many, many years... and Michael always thought he was black. He was always saying black things in a black way. I think whatever happened up there was taken out of context and has been blown way out of proportion and they're feeling it right now in so many different ways, and this is just one of them. And they always say, you reap what you sow." Booker also commented on Bobby Lashley. "Bobby’s fiancé is pregnant and he’s taking care of that first and foremost," he said. "But he knows he has a spot here in TNA and when he’s ready to come on board he’ll be a big superstar. Bobby’s future is in his hands and it’s up to him what he wants."

I'm not sure his buddy Lashley and his fiance would agree with Booker's assessment of Hayes, but to each his own. I covered Hayes's return to Raw on Monday in a Dot Net Exclusive item yesterday, which you can read by clicking here.
