Hmmm

:shifty:

*waits decision

JAZZ!? LOL!!

God forbid we get another female wrestler who can actually wrestle.

Whoa! I laugh at Jazz and automatically I don't know she can actually wrestle!? Whoa, man... ...whoa.

I posted myself on several websites the problems WWE has with female talent (IE: Diva Search and Divas used mainly for sex appeal)... ...so whoa, man.

Let's see... ...Jazz, Victoria, Ivory, Jackie, Mickie, Melina all have great backgrounds in wrestling and in their experience, so yeah buddy, I do know who has the skills and who doesn't, like Maria, Candice, and Krystal.

:rofl:

You do know that Jazz was in ECW right? She may have only spent a year or so there, but she was very entertaining, and in a time when WWE's best example of a female wrestler to date had been Sable, Jazz was an incredible part of the ECW show.

Yeah, I do know she was in ECW.

Come on, The One. SABLE? The best example of a female wrestler the WWE had to date? That's something I'd expect from someone that calls pre-Wolfpac Sting "old school" or remembers back to the days that the nWo formed, but is talking about 2002.

Alundra Blaze (Madusa), Bull Nakano, and Luna Vachon all > Sable.

So why the laugh then?

Ehhhhh, you caught me. I stretched the truth to make a point...in my mind I was more thinking/talking about since the dawning of the popularity explosion of the mid 90's...but I didn't specify that, so...my bad.

If Jazz wasnt a man then yes yes she would be a good example

Wait....Jazz was in ECW? For real? I never knew that.

ECW!? LOL!!

They need to find guys who can work and will actually make people want to watch whether they are ECW guys or not.

What's Mike Awesome's injury status these days?

If they are gonna get anything like a crusierweight deal going on (don't laugh, I know it's the WWE!) then I'd definately try and get Mistico.

I mentioned this in one of the other threads but Awesome said in an interview a few months back he's retired, he basically has no knees left as far as I can recall.

I laughed because I didn't know Jazz was in ECW.

But also because they signed a WRESTLER and not a bimbo.

Because with the WWE, you expect the other way around, so when they do something that makes sense, it's :wtf:

isn't Sabu in TNA?

He doesn't have a contract with them, he just does pay by booking.

How exculsive are these contracts? Can they work the Indies (not counting TNA of course) or are they stuck with the WWE for that time?

WWE doesn't do non exclusive deals. The Japanese guys will probably work part time and still work at home but exclusive to WWE in the States.

I just realized that they're calling them "Superstars".

Anyone find it ironic that, after Joey's rant on how he hates calling wrestlers "Superstars", they go and call the newly signed ECW talent just that?

With ECW still technically being under WWE (storyline-wise), I would love to see some of these guys actually make some WWE appearances on the main roster. Have Jazz work some matches on RAW with Mickie James over the WWE Women's Championship. Axl Rotten and Sabu can sit on their hands for a while, but Balls Mahoney and C.W. Anderson (who have some skills) could go to SmackDown! for a bit.

Why not bring up Danny Doring and Roadkill for a few months as a tag team on RAW, because God knows how much tag teams are needed.

So who else (with talent) is not currently doing anything that was in ECW during its dying days? Out of curiosity, when does Simon Diamond's TNA contract expire? Is he under contract? Diamond/Swinger in the new ECW would be grand.
