It is being reported on 411Mania.com (i'm not sure what other sites) that Abyss has given his notice ot TNA, as his contract has expired. It is rumoured by many that Abyss may be heading to WWE.

All I can say is wow. I hope Abyss comes in at New Year's Revolution, attacks Kane, then heads over to SmackDown!.

if it really happens then I don't know what could happen. Abyss was the one with the balloons when they went over to meet the WWE guys.

Swinger is reported to have quit as well. I can see Abyss going to the WWE because Vince has a hard on for big guys, althouth I'm not sure how big Abyss actually is cause he's always wrestling small guys in TNA.

Abyss is 6'10". I don't know if a guy like Abyss has a place in WWE. I mean he is imposing, and yes he isn't bad for a bigger guy, but not only have I never seen anything special out of him, I just don't think he can hold a candle to the likes of Kane...or even a guy like Snitsky. Maybe it is just that I don't like his character, but something about our Abyss just sends me to the pisser.

Plus this is just a rumor, as is the rumor of Swinger as well...and couple that with the rumor that three ROH stars are in talks with WWE...I don't know it seems like they are sure snatching up alot of names when they are already struggling to find proper air time for the wrestlers they already have.

I would be up for seeing Abyss in the WWE. I have always been impressed by him in TNA and would like to see him in the WWE.

I am also thinking that this could be a good chance for Stevie Richards. Act more like he did during the alliance angle pissed off at the WWE for not giving him a fair chance and then he brings in the monster Abyss and manages him and wrestles a bit as well and just generally be the mouth piece for him. Just a thought. I can hope.

Don't really know why they would sign Swinger though. Don't really like him. Just hasn't impressed me that much in the time I have watched TNA.

Abyss can be Heyman's new monster after he kicks Heidenriech out.

If he's really 6'10", then I will expect him on WWE tv in the very near future.

He's a big guy. Not sure if he is actually 6"10 but he is at least 6"8 and his finisher is a torture rack into a backbreaker and the Black Hole Slam whcih is like a spinning Side Slam. When he does it particularly to guys like AJ Styles it looks quite brutal.

Why do I sense if he comes in he will be something of a Cruiserweight Killer...just week after week destroying the Cruisers...

My initial instinct is to agree, but there are two things keeping me from making a final judgment... 1) TNA hasn't really let him showcase any kind of real ability, and 2) his character in TNA has been a really godawful cross between Kane and Mankind. If WWE would start fresh with him I think he could really shine; a few spots I've seen out of him have been fairly impressive so I'd love to see him do something interesting.

Why do I get the feeling they would send him over to SD and have him fued with Taker about saying he is Taker's cousin or something who was also burned by the fire that Taker set to Kane :shifty:

I don't know why, but I can see him being the third Calloway kid, but one that was left in Spain (where Kane was born), because they considered him "evil". :shifty:

Yeah, I forgot to post that thing about Johnny Swinger as well. It would be nice if Simon Diamond came with him, though. To be honest, this idea may sound like it'd suck, but I'd LOVE to see "The Johnny Swinger Show" on SmackDown! as a parody of The Jerry Springer Show.

What a brilliant idea! Where is Vince? I'm going to tell him of your masterpeice! ;)

Yeah, so basically Abyss asked for a raise and I guess is was Jarrett who refused to give him it and Abyss got pissed and quit. He said he had a deal with the WWE and he was taking it.

Abyss winning the Rumble? It would be a surprise. They then have some kind of controversy about it, saying Abyss wasn't under contract at the time, Batista wins the main event slot at Mania against Triple H, Abyss faces The Undertaker, ends his streak. Worse things have happened.

In that pic he kind of looks like Mankind when he first started out. If he comes to WWE....could he be 2005's version of Mankind with the derranged gimmick and all that?

He reminds me of someone, but I can't put my finger on it. I've got their face, but I can't put it anyone.

If that guy came in without a mask and totally went apesh!t with a steel chair then went to SmackDown!, it could really start something between the brands.

That's it! He reminds me of Muhammad Hassan/Mark Magnus.

I prefer the mask then without... unless you want to totally diss the Abyss character.

You wouldn't call him Abyss if he came in without a mask. Anyway, it's been a while since we've seen a good masked character in the WWE, and Abyss could be it. I hope they make him appear darker, though, and don't have him take the mic.

He's coming... but he's only the balloons guy and the cupcakes caterer... :shifty:

I don't think they need another new giant right now. Push the guys you have... the new guys are on a pretty good roll right now. No need to screw things up.

Never seen him wrestle but from the sounds of his style and look he could make a good tag team partner for Mordecai (if they intend to bring him back)

He should come back with someone like Heyman as his manager, especially for a feud with Kane. He should be what Kane was, the monster that Kane was before becoming pussified. If he's on Smackdown!, replace Kane with Undertaker.

Definately. He should destroy Heidenreich in his debut, earning a special place with Heyman (if they don't want to use him backstage, at least use him on TV).

:lol: I like that idea. Glen Jacobs kidnapped Kane because he's a psycho (not a monster) and he was obsessed with Lita while watching. It turns out both are Calloways and both share the same experiences. :shifty:

Kane & Kane become the World Tag Team Chmpions.

Seriously Abyss could say Kane betrayed his roots, and now he's nothing more than a normal man. Kane then embraces the dark side of his soul, and we have two monsters in the WWE.
