With the release of Billy Gunn, A-Train, Test, Gail Kim, Nidia, Chuck Palumbo, Johnny Stamboli, Rodney Mack & Jazz in the last few days, the WWE seems to be freeing up a lot of space on their rosters, and it has been said this is for OVW alumini, and newly signed indy wrestlers, etc. I was just wondering what talent would you expect to see called up by the WWE in coming weeks?


Brent Albright
He seems to have the experience under his belt, and he's been used by the WWE before. At 25, I think he would fit in best on RAW, because he could work with two of the wrestlers he modelled himself after (Chris Benoit & Shawn Michaels. I could see him fitting in with Evolution, a new stable run by Orton, or as a resistance (Revolution?) against Evolution with Chris Benoit & Shawn Michaels.

Benny Dredd
This guy reminds me of a cross between Tyson Tomko & Raven. I wouldn't mind seeing him show up on RAW as Tyson Tomko's "brother" or "cousin". Maybe he could come in as the "Trouble Shooter" for a new superstar, and eventually we see Benny & the other superstar (Joey Matthews?) join up with Christian & Tomko, and we have ourselves a Christian Coalition.

Melina
Not sure if he's planning on becomming a wrestler or whatnot, but I can see her on SmackDown! or RAW with Johnny Nitro.

LaMont
I could see this guying being a unique face in the cruiserweight division on SmackDown!. Maybe he could also serve as Kenzo Suzuki's & Rene Dupree's buttler?

Jillian Hall
She could fit in the women's divison on RAW now there are vacancies.

Mark Bell
The WWE has got a banged up tag team division right now, and he and his brother, Mike Bell, might have the best shot at repairing it. I see these guys doing better on SmackDown!.

Mike Bell
See Mark Bell. And I believe Mike has worked on WWE shows as a jobber before (I believe Saturn working sitff on him is what led to him being punished with the "Moppy" gimmick). He's also got 13 years experience. I can't think of a better superstar to be called up to work in a tag team.

Johnny Nitro
I'm not too sure how this guy is coming along in OVW, but he has the look to fit in on RAW and SmackDown! well. Probably with Melina as his valet/manager.

Kenny Bolin
The WWE is low on managers, so I can see this guy doing what Heyman does on SmackDown!, on RAW. I can see him restarting up "Bolin Services".

Danny Inferno
A veteran with 11 years experience at age 27. He could be big. I wouldn't mind seeing him take Johnny nitro under his wing, with Melina as their valet, they could really fit in the RAW tag division nicely.

Passion
The women's division is low on wrestlers. Passion could really revitalize that.

Robert Briskoe
I could see this guy being a referee on SmackDown!. They called up Chris Kay to RAW, so why not Briskoe to SmackDown!?

Beth Phoenix
She's Brent Albright's cousin in OVW (I'm not sure if it's actually true or not), but I can see her working as the cousin of Brent Albright & either the cousin of Passion, or maybe a sister. Maybe they can drop the Beth of her name, and just call her "Phoenix".

Chris Cage
I can see this guy as a tag team partner to almost anyone on the roster. He teamed with Brent Albright once on RAW, maybe we could see a Randy Orton, Brent Albright & Chris Cage stable with Pheonix & Passion in the women's division? I can see Cage working with Jericho, Matt Hardy, Val Venis, Evolution, Johnny Nitro, Albright & Orton.

Seth Skyfire
Could be a good ediion to the cruiserweight division.

Matt Cappotelli
He's billed as ea bit above the cruiserweight limit, but I can see him doing a Chris Jericho.

Kousin Krazy
Does this guy remind anyone else of Eugene. Go onto the OVW website and have a look. I can easily see him coming in as Bischoff's brother/other nephew. William Regal with two mentally challenged wrestlers hanging off his side=ratings. As for a name, why not Eustace Dinsmore, or something?

Johnny Spade
I can see "Smooth" Johnny Spade being brought in by Doug Basham on SmackDown!, as a member of his Revolution-esque stable.

Alexis Laree
Women's division.

Rod Steele
I can see this guy as either a wrestler or a manager. I would love to see him come in as Rico's "brother".

Aaron Stevens
I really don't know where this guy could go, but if they did bring him up, I can see him teaming with Richards on RAW, or working as a signle ssuperstar on SmackDown!.

Jerome Crony
As a manager. Or maybe as a referee or some kind of non-wrestling superstar (a bit like Coachman or Bischoff). Maybe he could serve as a representative for the Board of Directors, or work as RAW's and/or SmackDown!'s commissioner.

Lulu
I could see her play the role of Eric Bischoff's assistant. Maybe Bischoff could bring her back from his "vacation"?

Synn
I would love to see her on RAW as the manager for the Christian Coalition, Kane or Batista.

Robbie Dawber
I can see this guy as either a Mattitude Follower on RAW or a cruiserweight contender on SmackDown!. I can see him debuting as a referee before it is revealed he can wrestle. I would mark out if in a cruiserweight Fatal Fourway, there are bodies flying everywhere, and then finally when we think the desctruction has passed, Referee Dawber goes for a fly!

Mike Taylor
I can see this guy maybe appearing backstage on SmackDown! as an announcer before he enters the ring. I'm a sucker for those "no-name employees are actually wrestlers" debuts.

Goose Mahoney
This guy could play a referee in the WWE. He sort of reminds me of Kurt Angle, so maybe during the 4 vs. 4 Elimination Match at Survivor Series we could see him referee and cost the faces the match. Maybe they can even be as predictable as calling him "Matt Angle"? Then if they don't want to use him as a referee after that, he can go back to OVW, or stick around as a non-wrestling talent, as he has a degree in theatre arts.

Tank Toland
This guy reminds me of what would happen if Batista & Billy Gunn had a love child. I can see this guy being Simon Dean's assistant on RAW. Or maybe a tag team with Chris Cage (this could be done under Simon Dean as well), or a run in Evolution.

Trudi Denucci
I could see her join up with William Regal in a quest to regain her British charm.

Joey Matthews
I can see this guy coming in as Christian & Edge's cousin, a friend from their childhood, or just by himself (or with Benjamin Tomko/Benny Dredd). I could see Christian, Joey Matthews, Tyson Tomko, Ben Tomko & Trish Startus making an interesting stable.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. I was just wondering if anyone hadheard any rumours or anything about some of these guys coming in, or if they're just going to try and use the talent they have.

Matthews and Matt Hardy are also good friends, maybe they can get something going when V-1uuuhhh gets back.

I could really see a Christian vs. Matt Hardy feud with Matthews choosing which one he wants to side with. Maybe get Edge involved and we could see an Edge & Christian (maybe with Tyson Tomko & Trish Stratus) vs. Matt Hardy & Joey Matthews (maybe with Benny Tomko & Trish Stratus).
