I had a thought about the European belt a few weeks back when someone posted a possible storyline/thought (not sure) that Santino would find the belt at WWE HQ in a dusty old storeroom and start to wear in again. Well, it got me thinking, how many European born wrestlers are there on the roster at the minute. You have Sheamus, Wade Barrett, William Regal, Mason Ryan and Drew McIntyre are the only ones I can name of the top of my head, maybe more. Then you have others like Antonio Cessaro and Santino Marella who may not have been born in Europe (the lines become blurry here) but have clear European related gimmicks. Then you have older guys like Finlay (mayb not on active roster) and the like who could help build up a European 'division'. Also TNA have a few European guys aswell. Magnus, Rob Terry and Doug Williams who could bolster the division again. Then you have Indy guys who have European related gimmicks or who are actually from here. I know it may not be a US supported move but both TNA and WWE are trying to make big in roads into the worldwide businees as a whole and this, i think, would be one way to get another market.
Your thoughts??
