If Paul Burchill claims to be related to Jack the Ripper, in the same way that he claimed to be related to Blackbeard, I will be happy.

I think they are grooming him to job another couple hundred times and then wish him well in his future endeavors, Noid. And Yes, you are naive.

Grooming him? Grooming him for what? He has been on WWE tv for going on 4 years and they haven't done shit with him. You aren't naive, you are retarded.

I thought it was funny that they mentioned that he had been with the company for like four years on ECW last night.

Paul Birchill is something along the lines of a modern day "Iron" Mike Sharpe. More talented, but just as relevant.

Yeah, he has all the tools to work a match, he just don't know how to connect with a crowd in any meaningful way.

I disagree that he doesn't know how to connect to a crowd. He seems to do quite well for himself there. Doesn't mean he's going places, or being groomed, but I think he's got some of this down anyway.

They keep giving him shit to do that challenges him. They keep giving him the microphone when he is not a natural speaker. They keep giving him a stupid character to play when acting is probably not his strong suit. Just look how much Burchill has actually improved as an all-round performer since coming to the WWE.

That doesn't sound so much like "grooming" as it does the general WWE mill.

Someone like Charlie Haas, until he disappeared, has been playing up on a personality a lot of people didn't think he had. Besides that, I am hard-pressed to think of anybody. My point was that the WWE are obviously interested enough in Burchill that they are giving him time to talk, learn and grow as an overall performer. Maybe it's just more obvious with him than others. I'm not going to be surprised if Burchill gets another push one day. That is all. |

Yeah, they are so interested they put him on ECW and started jobbing him out there. I mean seriously, when was that last time he won a meaningful match?
