Booker T Felt WWE Used Him As A Scapegoat; Details

WWE departure left Booker T feeling unwell
- SLAM! Wrestling is featuring an article with TNA Superstar Booker T regarding his departure from WWE. He also commented on the Signature Pharmacy ordeal. "I had nothing to do with Signature Pharmacy, and I knew I hadn't ordered anything online," Huffman said, referring to Signature's use of various physicians and clinics to distribute orders placed through the internet. "I knew I wasn't a part of that, and I relayed that to the company, and I wasn't protected — they didn't step up for me."

Booker then offered his theory that he was used as a scapegoat because they needed to suspend someone at 'the top' to influence public opinion in the post-Benoit climate of anti-steroid backlash. "You can't just pick out a bunch of guys who have no name and punish them," he said. "You've got to have somebody in there with some credibility to give yourself some credibility."
