Remember When Test got rehired?
 

Yeah, what the hell happened to that? :lol:

He had some dark matches in March...and uh...that is a damn good question.

For someone who's buddy buddy with shane o mac, he hasn't done too well for himself. Maybe Triple H got where he is because he's the man, not because he's screwing the bosses daughter

Andrew "Test" Martin was going to be brought on to the Raw brand with Jonathan Coachman as his manager, however, that idea was dropped.

Test + The Coach = Ratings.

At first I got worried reading this thinking that they've let him go already.

A crazy thought went through my head prior to Judgment Day. I half-expected Test to cost Bobby Lashley the King of the Ring to Booker T, setting up a feud between Test and Lashley. Turns out they did a very similar thing to that, only with Finlay replacing Test.

RAW's mid-card is heating up. Shelton Benjamin vs. Charlie Haas should be happening soon. Hopefully we get Elijah Burke, Aaron Stevens and Harry Smith debuting soon. Add these men to Carlito, Chris Masters, Matt Striker, Rob Conway, Eugene & Johnny Nitro and low and behold, you have a mid-card. Throw in Test for good measure, you have an established mid-card. Almost enough for the European Championship to come back.

Mark Jindrak and Chuck Palumbo are yet to return, either. Last we saw those men, they were both RAW Superstars (didn't Jindrak get traded, but he never actually appeared?). Maybe a Natural Born Thrillers reunion? A feud with The Spirit Squad wouldn't be too bad.

Test needs to team up with Striker.

Unless Andrew has married/shagged Shane, I wouldn't say this is good evidence of anything. ;)

If he has, then...Well....

I was thinking the same thing. "Pop quiz, folks."

They should do a whole thing where Striker is trying to teach Eugene. They do skits in a classroom for a few weeks, then, on the last week, he says it's time for "The Test" and Test comes in and just wails on Eugene.

They could also build up to the Test, and then he takes it in the ring, allowing them to debut Test in the arena vs. in a pre-recorded skit.

Uhh....TNA has one less name they can sign?

:yes:

Chuck Palumbo, Shannon Moore, Akio, and Test (verbally agreed) signed new contracts with WWE but I dont remember hearing Jindrak did. I heard he had a few dark matches a couple months ago and dark matches in OVW but did he sign a contract?

He is going to ECW.

I never heard about that either but Im not sure Jindrak should be in ECW.

Right now, he is gonna be number 1 or 2 heel in ECW. Test, not Jindrak.

:lol: ill be so happy if he gets his original music back

*test test test test test test test .. random gibberish *

was a classic entrence theme that was :D

That's really hard to picture.

I'm not doubting you, just...Wow.

Yeah, that is a terrible decision.

Who else do they have though? All the ECW guys will look like babyfaces at first so they need guys to work heel and obviously put over Van Dam while they build the company around him.

Foley
Jindrak
Test
Kid Kash
Roadkill (if they want to turn him)
and the #1 heel of the brand, CM Punk

Please be more than a dream.

Foley can't work regular dates
Jindrak has the personality of a peanut
Kid Kash is a crusierweight and we all know about their record in WWE
Roadkill is going to Smackdown and not ECW
I'd imagine CM Punk is getting a shot but not early.

I hate to say it but the way a lotta people post in these threads (not this particular one but a lot of them) about ECW, Theyre going to be disappointed because ECW isnt going to get everyone on their roster.

I agree their options are limited, but a midcarder who hasn't worked in ages, may well be forgotten, and was never hugely over (Unless I'm forgetting someone)...Just have trouble seeing this as a successful move.

I can't think of anyone at all though. Maybe they should try and sign someone from MMA like a Don Frye who has pro wrestling experience.

Knowing Vince, they'd be more likely to hire someone who had never wrestled.

Someone from MMA would probably be a good idea though, as it's taking over in terms of popularity, and any sort of crossover appeal might be a positive impact.

quit killing my dreams....

Anyways, I can see WWECW grabbing some ROH guys as well. Jimmy Yang is coming back, and I think he'd fit in well if they can get Tajiri back also. And if they want to get on my good side, they'd get Colt Cabana to see the comedic heel.

I'd be happier than a pig in shit if Punk interrupted Sandman's entrance.

Didn't Test badmouth the WWE at one time? I believe it was about the Eddie Guerrero incident. I wonder what heat he got from that.

Didn't Joey Styles badmouth the WWE at one time? I believe it was about everything. I wonder what he he DIDN'T get from that...

Jimmy Yang is coming back but right now the plan is for him to go back on SmackDown but that could change and Tajiri will possibly make occasional appearances in ECW but will still be working in Japan so he wont be back full time.

Same as 99& of the current roster? Who hasn't badmouthed WWE? Except Cena and HHH...

Maybe he's working off some ring rust?

So they're taking him for a TEST drive, so to speak?


:shifty:

More like a field TEST.

MAybe he could join HBK and become a "Test of Faith."

He better stay away from Stephanie during her pregnancy, she could get awfully TESTY.

And might end up hurting his TESTes.
