Booker is fine, but R.I.P. Spinnaroonie.

Don't expect to hear Booker T's voice tonight on the Raw pre-show. His wife, and his former WWE manager Sharmell, revealed on her Instagram page that her 51-year-old husband was in the hospital over the weekend. Luckily, he is currently at home recovering.

Her photo showed Booker in a hospital bed, watching a video of his Reality of Wrestling promotion, but she didn't say why he was there.

She followed that up later with a photo of Booker at home sitting on the couch with a Playstation 4 controller in his hand. She stated that he is "doing well." No word yet on what videogame he was playing.

While Booker's ailment wasn't serious enough to keep him hospitalized for a lengthy stay, whatever is troubling him has caused a minor tragedy in the wrestling world. Booker took to Twitter to announce that his beloved Spinnaroonie is officially retired. Luckily, the move will live on for generations to come in our hearts and on Youtube.

Here's hoping Booker T can make a quick recovery, and return to work soon.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
