I have a feeling Show dropping the title to face ADR is going to set up a quick title switch to put the Smackdown belt on Ziggler.

I bet the writers just realized they have until WrestleMania to put the belt on Ziggler.

Probably is what they'll do. Makes more sense considering what happened with Dolph yesterday (Cena steamrolling him). Ziggler moves over to SD and takes the belt.

Then I guess Ziggler/Del Rio is the program at WM?

The whole 3MB thing is stupid. Heath Slater works ... he's always been that gimmick ... but the last time I checked, no teen stars wore a turban and everyone knows Drew McIntyre isn't that gimmick.

The 3MB thing is one of the dumbest gimmicks ever. Hell, they make me want the Spirit Squad back.

Hey now, the Spirit Squad was good stuff. Had they not prematurely buried the whole thing as they did, it could've been $$$.

I kind of agree with that. The Spirit Squad thing was organic, not forced. I know McIntyre and Mahal are not that gimmick. I had not clue if any of those Spirit Squad members were that gimmick.

Honestly I don't give a shit what they call him.

If he retains the gimmick, or a reasonable facsimile of the gimmick (think: Antonio Cesaro and his slightly modified "Very European" routine), there is no way possible he doesn't get over. He will be a thousand times more popular with kids than Sin Cara, and at the very bare minimum will be a successful undercard comedy guy. If they are willing to think outside the box and give him the chance, I have no doubt in my mind that he can be a main event babyface. The fact he doesn't cut promos would actually set him apart and make him different enough for it to be a positive.

But expecting out of the box thinking from the cookie cutter WWE thought process is probably asking too much. They'll take his mask off, tell him to get a tan, and completely miss the point of why they signed him in the first place.

If he did sign...I cant wait until 2015 when he finally graduates FCW!!

And better yet they'll wonder why he can't get over.

duh

obviously he needs to learn how to work

no more brainbustaaaaa, that's a given

the through the turnbuckle out of the ring DDT will blow minds

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Its sad that I don't want to see guys sign with the biggest money org in the world...

I'd rather they struggle to pay the bills.

Well Chris Hero needs to learn how to work, not like he's one of the best wrestlers in the world. He could learn a lot from guys like Ryback and Khail.

I will say this I would love to see El Generico vs CM Punk.

So Wade Barrett has stopped doing the wrist clutch before the Bull Hammer lately.

This has me concerned.

[Warner2BruceTD]

PWPonderings is now saying it is official. They did a breaking news podcast.

If they aren't right, boy do they look bad.

fwiw, El Generico has been vanity searching his name all night on twitter because he's retweeting shit with his name in it without the @ in front of it.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Torch confirms. Sorta.

Independent wrestler star El Generico (Rami Sebei) has reportedly signed with WWE. The news was originally reported by PWPonderings.com.

PWTorch has confirmed with one source the validity of the report and is working to confirm with more sources.
