      WWE signed a new developmental wrestler named Smith James. He's a big soft guy at 6'2" 300+ lbs who apparently is solid on the mic and at selling pain. He was trained by Taz.

            That would make him really old, at least by their standards.

                I know, I was just hoping I use to love those promos.

                  I didn't know Taz was still training people or had a school.

                    My response was more of a sarcastic joke because I was unaware Taz trained people post-House of Hardcore.

                      Meltzer says Samuray Del Sol, Mike Bennett, Sami Callihan, & Shaun Ricker and completing medicals & paperwork and headed to WWE.

                      That's five confirmed signings in two days. If I were in developmental and not being used, i'd be sweating a little bit.

                        I think the WWE is expanding developmental. There may be some pruning, but I'd lean on the idea that they are building developmental up.

                          This Smith James guy is the shits. I have no idea why they signed him.

                          Just watched a bunch of matches. He's woefully out of shape, not very tall, terrible bland look, and nothing special in the ring at all.



                          There he is against Carlito, who is a decent worker. I don't understand what they see in this guy. BEAR HUGS & CHINLOCKS. OK, I get it, it's in front of 25 people in a VFW hall, im not asking for topes and suicide dives, but still. When combined with his generic look, I just don't see the appeal.

                          If they wanted a fat white guy with a beard, Kevin Steen blows this guy out of the water in the ring and in the charisma department.

                            Here's James against that creep from New Jersey who passes himself off as Kanyon. "Mortiss". Rampage Rogers is the uploader, he's the guy in the gimmick. He's a fucking creep, I don't understand why people book him.

                            Anyway, another lame match. Can't figure out why WWE would sign this guy.

                              They want bodies in the new developmental digs.

                                Looks like Low Ki is headed to All Japan. I asked Gabe Sapolsky what's up with Low Ki in DGUSA and he responded "I honestly have no idea".

                                Daisuke Harada has jumped off one sinking ship (Osaka Pro), and onto another (NOAH). Atsushi Kotoge also left Osaka Pro for NOAH several months back. Osaka Pro is in really bad shape and letting guys go if they can find full time work elsewhere. Japan is a lot like NCAA basketball these days, with NOAH being like the A10, with key guys leaving and being replaced by Osaka Pro guys, who would be like the CAA in this analogy.
