I'M ROBBIE! AND I'D RATHER BE AT IMPACT! [Archive]

Is he still working for the E?

If so, not for long...

It doesn't help that his tag team partner has been injured, which makes Robbie McCallister even less valuable than Headbanger Thrasher was. I wonder if Rory McCallister will find himself unemployed if Robbie does. This could end up being the most interesting thing that's happened to either men.

Both are solid talents, in my opinion, although it doesn't often show. They'd be far more interesting if they didn't have such an awful and limiting gimmick.

That pic is hilarious. Still hard to believe that my biggest reaction, next to seeing Sting again was..."Holy shit is that fuckin ROBBIE!?"

Or if wwe actually used the gimmick.

Rory's pec muscle ripped apart, so he's out on medical. That gives Robbie basically nthing to do, because he's the weak link in the rarely-used tag team. There's nothing FOR him to do there until his partner returns..

Well he doesn't have anything else to do right now, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was there as well.

It's a swerve! He's going to be put in the MITB and win it!

Someone else said it a few weeks ago, and I still think it'll work.
If WWE wants to use Robbie and help out the tag team scene they'd pair up Robbie with Drew Drew McIntyre. Pretty much a Scottish odd couple.

Afterlife

I like Drew. There's somethin' about him that makes me think he's going places -- if he sticks around. That's kind of a mixed metaphor, but you get the idea. I think hooking him up with the Highlanders could be a good way to pump the 3 of them to a decent mid card level beforw breaking it off.

Douche move by TNA. They probably cost this guy his job now.

Don't worry, he'll have a place on the TNA roster. He'll probably be their next main eventer, because, you know, WWE wrestlers, no matter how low on the totem pole, are better than TNA wrestlers.

A douche move would be if they don't offer him a contract.

Robbie was dumb for going...then again it was probably the only entertainment he could afford, TNA being free and all.

Dorkchop

03-28-2008, 05:40 PM

Holy shit. I had no idea who that was. I just knew he worked for WWE. He didn't seem too happy that he was put on camera. He will be fired real soon. I don't agree with it, but that's just the WWE way. Besides, spring cleaning is just about to start.

BigDaddyCool

03-28-2008, 05:42 PM

Truth be told, he was probably going to be let go during spring cleaning anyhow. All the highlanders are used for is jobbing in handycap matches.

McLegend

Right so TNA should show him and point out that he is a wrestler for the WWE without his premission?

Yeah that makes sense.

BigDaddyCool

03-28-2008, 05:53 PM

I see your point. But he runs the risk of that by going to TNA events. We are still talking about carnies here.

Xero

From PWInsider:

The word making the rounds down in Orlando is that Robbie McAllister was sent home today (which should surprise no one). When the company tells you to avoid TNA and you go to the show, well, you are asking to be sent home. It can be debated whether TNA was wrong to put him on TV last night but again if he hadn't gone, they wouldn't have had the chance to do so.

Owned.

03-28-2008, 07:37 PM

Then again, maybe he's trying to get fired. And if that's the case, why not get a free show on the way out the door?

Lock Jaw

03-28-2008, 07:40 PM

He should have worn a fake beard and mustache instead of a real one. No one would have known it was him.

Afterlife

Or a shirt that said "HE'S ROBBIE ----->"

Mr. Nerfect

I feel sorry for Robbie. A lot of people backstage are apparently upset about it, because his job with the WWE is now in jeopardy, and Robbie is the bread winner for his family. The reason Robbie was attending was to support his friend Johnny Devine, and see him wrestle.

If the WWE releases Robbie, TNA really should give the guy a contract. Have it as sort of a shoot character. "It's your fault I lost my other job, so I want a title match tonight." Sort of what they were doing with heel Eugene. "I'm special!" Only have Derrick Graham-Couch not play a retard. Maybe stick him with Johnny Devine as buddies, too. Even push him as a sympathetic face.

Xero

03-28-2008, 11:10 PM

If he had gone in backstage (seriously doubt they'd turn him down) instead of going in the crowd he likely would have been fine.

03-28-2008, 11:46 PM

Now I'm pulling a Noid here with what I think should happen in the event Robbie is fired and TNA picks him up.

TNA should make a big deal of out him, like they do the other WWE superstars, and bring him to the ring for an interview or something with Jim Cornnett. However, instead of taking the usual "WWE sucks and TNA is where the action is" route, he should be original. Start talking about how TNA is nothing but a second rate promotion that cost him his dream job with the WWE, and he's there to take his revenge and try to prove why WWE should take him back. Finish it with attacking Cornett (powerbomb is my prefrence), and just become a monster heal trying to destory the company.

Granted TNA would screw it up, not to mention wouldn't be smart enough to do this storyline anyway, but that's my opinion.

03-28-2008, 11:49 PM

Crap, Noid already stated that idea...didn't really read his posts till this point.

<font color=goldenrod>Not surprised he was sent home, he was likely to be released anyway.

What makes it even more harsh is that today is his birthday.</font> :o

WWE releases guys who are recovering from injuries sustained while working for them... you think they'd care about a birthday?

They told us when it was Vince's birthday.

Lock Jaw

*Vince hands Robbie a letter*
Vince: Happy Birthday!
*Robbie opens it and its a pink slip*
Robby: Hey, this isn't a birthday present!
Vince: Suuuuuure it is!

Yeah that makes sense.

Well, it's an obvious risk. Whether or not it's right, almost every Televised show with an audience will show celebrities in their audience, even if they're Screech, the other guy from WAM!, or some jobber from WWE.

Robbie should have known this, and known TNA would jump over ANY WWE wrestler being in attendance for their shitty programming. This is a risk he took, and should have taken knowingly, being above the age of 8 and having an IQ high enough to dress himself without assistance.

Yes, but perhaps he's never seen their show. I mean, I've only seen, like...two episodes. If he was there to visit friends, it's possible he was in the audience to get a first-person veiw of the product. Granted, I'm sure there is word thru-out the locker room, "Don't fucking sit in TNA's audiemce," but he may have forgotten, like so much of the world, that TNA is on tv. Not saying it's likely. Just possible.

By the way, I think it only fair that we start calling him "Jobbie".

I tend to forget it's on TV, too, but really, I'd think there might be some clues at the sound stage. Beyond that, never having seen the show means little, as he's likely seen at least a show that does this sort of thing. Unless he really is Scottish, and was too busy fucking sheep.

In any sense, this is evidently something that isn't exactly a newsflash to anyone in the lockerroom. Maybe he hoped he wouldn't be noticed over the regulars (Do they still show that bitch who has TNA action figures in her shoe?) or something, but if he gambled, he lost.

This is all just a Kliq prank.

(Backstage at the Citrus Bowl on Friday, the stage still being set up and tested. Robbie is getting some coffee when Shawn Michaels and Triple H walk up.)

HHH: "Hey, Robbie, what's up buddy?"

ROBBIE: "Hey guys."

HBK: "Rob, if you're not too busy, me and Hunter have a thing we want you to take of for us."

ROBBIE: "What is it?"

HHH: "We need you to take a taxi over to Universal, they're shooting some TNA wrestling thing over there and I guess Vince wants someone to go check it out."

ROBBIE: "And he wants me to go?"

HHH: "Well, he asked me and Shawn, but you know, we don't have groucho glasses or anything. Can't have D-X walking around the Impact Zone in TNA. Guy like you though; nobody will notice. Hell, if you do a good job, there might even be a push in it for you after Mania."

ROBBIE: "Well, all right I guess."

(Robbie heads off. Shawn starts laughing as Triple H takes out his cell phone and dials.)

HHH: "Hey Kev. That douche bag who dresses like William Wallace is coming to your show. Yeah, yeah, just make sure the camera guy gets a good shot of him. Ha Ha, I know, Vince is going to shit a piano."

Yeah but Robbie is no celebrity. Even the other guy from Wam is more of a celebirty then him. If they showed HHH or some other main event guy in the crowd then I can understand. Robbie though is barley even on the Heat card.

I argee it's Robbie's fault, but I think TNA was also very much in the wrong.

A WWE star, ANY WWE star, is bigger news to TNA than a lot of people....
