Who's Fergal Devitt?
WWE.com is mentioning him as the hottest "free agent" today, now being signed for NXT.
They're making him sound like he's this big name on the independents (something in itself I never really saw WWE do before), but honestly never heard of him before. Is he really a big deal on the indies or something? http://www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-signs-...evitt-26515616 Last edited by JT; 07-28-2014 at 11:01 AM. Reason: Added WWE.com link |

I didn't realize his real name was Fergal. I didn't think the nxt name generator could be so cruel.
he's more commonly known as Prince Devitt. |

I just hope they let him keep the crazy body paint, and just let him be a generic monster of some sort.

If only his debut would go something like this...
"This reminds me of a story from a cousin back in Ireland" (Devitt runs in and kicks Sheamus in the back of the head) "No one cares!" |

I would lol if he debuted as Sheamus's special friend, the way Joy Giovanni was Big Show's special friend.

I don't like the name they gave him. He looks more like a Rusty Daggers. That should be his name.

Rusty Daggers is too Memphis for Vince.

And he will tear up NXT then show up at a Raw and Vince will be "Whose kid is this?"
then he is fired. |

His gimmick will be based on whatever showtime show was number 1 on their network 3 years ago today

Yup.
Dexter peaked about 5 years ago, Homeland 3. Ray Donavan has about 18 months until someone gets that gimmick. |

Dexter Donovan being his NXT name would not surprise me. I've heard great things, but I haven't seen a match. CSL suggested he wouldn't be surprised if the WWE hired him. CSL knows his shit.
I guess he's sort of an Irish Daniel Bryan who has elements of Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio as presentation perks. |

He's a mixture of a great rassler and two guys who know how to capture attention visually. Not sure how vanilla or drug-addicted he will turn out to be.

Daniel Bryan was a vanilla midget before he came to WWE and look where he is. That said, he literally stumbled into a goldmine and WWE know how to capitalize on these things. DeVitt has a similar amount of talent, a bit more personality than Bryan showed before hitting WWE and a much better look (x10 if they let him keep doing the comic book film villain schtick, which I doubt) How successful he is all depends on what they do with him, how he adapts and a certain amount of luck. I could see him making a lot of money and I could see him doing nothing at all. Interested to see tho. If Punk, Bryan, Rollins, Ambrose etc can excel, no reason he can't. I'd certainly give him the best shot out of him, KENTA and Steen. Although if Steen really works on his look, he has the mouth to outdo both.

Honestly steen should just accept that hes a fat fuck who will never have a look that Vince will put over. Slap on a suit and work as a mouth piece. Go the Bobby heenan route. He could be a good heat magnet. I am watching some Prince. Yeah hes indyriffic. I could see him going the Bryan route but he has like zero time to do it. Hes 33. it took bryan a few years to get it down in the WWE. Roillins and Ambrose too. |

oh he's indyriffic alright but the ability he has is there to see. When you have that amount of ability, you can adapt quite easily with the right people pointing you in the right direction. Of which there are an endless amount of in WWE. His biggest obstacle will probably be learning how to "wrestle for TV" but that's what NXT is for

disagree about Bryan, he was having some of the best matches on the card as soon as he wasn't being hammered on NXT

Kevin Steen as a mouthpiece if he can't keep up his shape is actually a good idea.
