Way to stick with Kayfabe

They could turn this into an angle where Booker and Sharmall are terrified 24/7 because they have to live with the Boogeyman. Then it could lead to Booker/Boogeyman II where Boogeyman wins the World Championship.


B)

It couldn't hurt things. ;)

It's good to see him feeling well enough to get back to work. I doubt he'll want to keep up with the travel schedule, though.

From WWE.com:

I thought Pat had been back for months.

Pat may be gone at times, but he truly never leaves.

That Patterson is sure one resilient homo.

Tully Blanchard was hired the other day as an agent.

Today we have:

Afa Jr.

Eddie Colon

And they're trying to sign Monty Brown and Claudio Castagnoli.

They really should sign Monty Brown, he's more talented than their usual "hoss of the week who gets to beat up Funaki."

They can go and hire Castagnoli, but it's doubtful they'd do anything meaningful with him.

Claudio Castagnoli just had a try-out for DSW. Although DSW did sound impressed, that doesn't mean he's been hired just yet.

I think he'd fit in well. He's what like 6'4" and ripped, and can cut a good promo. His gimmick I could also see working in WWE to some extent...

Frankly, I'd settle for a Euro-Trash tag team with Rene Dupree

Don't scold cuz' me I don't know..but is Eddie Colon any relation to Carlito and Carlos Colon? (wait..Carlito IS Carlos's son... right?)

Monty Brown would be a good pick-up. He's better on the stick than people give him credit for. He had some decent promos in TNA, last year. Most just think he screams "powwww-nce! Period", but he cut some good stuff against Jarrett and Trytan.

Carlito is Carlos' son. Eddie is also Carlos' son, and Carlito's brother.

Eddie is Carly's (Carlito) younger brother, yes.

Carlos Colon is their father. There's probably another younger brother in there aswell. Colon has been working, trying to make the WWC a feeder/dev group for the WWE.

The other brother is Staci Colon.

About Eddie: He's supposedly twice the worker as Carlito but only half as charasmatic. I saw a clipped match of his versus I think Jerry Lynn from MLW or something a couple years ago and was pretty unimpressed.

I am reasonably positive Staci Colon is a girl.



From what I remember, last year, the WWE was interested in taking Eddie on, but Carlos wanted him to stay and headline WWC, until their younger brother, who's name.....Armando, I think, was ready to tak his place

Fuck. You are correct about Staci.

Are you thinking of Orlando Colon? I checked Wikipedia since the third brother's name was bugging me, and could only find Orlando, who is Carlito and Eddie's cousin...

There ya go. Armando/Orland - I just wasn't sure.

I've seen a good bit of Eddie. I don't know that I'd go all "twice the worker", but he is better in the ring, though a bit more of a high flyer. I'm not sure about the charisma thing, but he looks alot like Carlito other than the hair.

Carlos is an odd animal. Eddie's a better worker and the sister has more charisma but he seems to be a little more rounded.

From Bryan Alvarez:


- I'm told Claudio Castagnoli looked good in his Deep South (WWE developmental) tryout last week, and that there is interest in Chris Hero as well after WWE got a tape of one of his matches in the UK.

Weird.

I just read that Ted DiBiase and Tim Horner were fired Tuesday after the SD/ECW tapings.

Dude, this is the HIRED thread. You fucked up.

Hahah. Yeah, I realize that, now that I posted it.

A friend of mine in town knows Kid Kash and told me that Kash told him he's getting back in.

Not Meltzer, but this is Kash's hometown

I'm sure he DID say that, but he's also a major bullshit artist.

That is a very valid point

Good for Claudio.

It's official

I'm glad they finally made it official. I think Monty Brown is going to do wonderfully in WWE. Unlike most of the stiffs they hire, Monty is actually capable of having good matches.

Folks would say "but they already have a big black guy with a push, in Bobby Lashley". But I think Monty has much more charisma and enthusiasm in his character than Lashley.

Here's the funny thing-- I really think that, if not for a senseless ill-advised heel turn in Spring 2005, Monty would have been one of TNA's Main Dudes, if not THE Main Dude.

Definitly. That heel turn Monty took back then absolutely KILLED his momentum. I would say that was one of the most questionable booking decisions of the past five years.

It's times like these that I hate wrestling fans. Notice how on several boards people bashed the shit out of Brown but the second he signs a WWE deal suddenly everyone's been a fan since day one.

If I've said it once, I'll say it again.

The boat has officially been missed on Brown. I'll be shocked if he does anything of value.

Is Monty even that big compared to WWE guys? I know he looked pretty decent sized in TNA, but everyone there is like 5'10". What is Monty like 6'3"?

Yeah, but Monty is well built. Lashley really isn't that big either.


I wouldn't go so far to call myself a "fan" of Monty. He had some good matches in TNA (along with some shitty ones) and he had the potential to break out huge in early 2005, but it didn't happen. I think he'll do well in the WWE, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm jumping up in down in excitement.
