You have GOT to be kidding me.
Yeah, I got this off LOP, and I am really hoping it's wrong but... Well.. It has 2 more sources, so it might be true..
Umaga is in line for a main event-level push after Summerslam. After several months of steamrolling through opponents, he is likely to be a top heel challenger to Batista. sources: Pro Wrestling Torch, PWInsider.com |

PWInsider is fuckig up on my browser right now, can anyone verify that it was from there?
I don't doubt that he'll get a push (Stupid bullshit gimmick), just wonder if PWI actually reported it. |

If true, that would mean he'd be heading to Smackdown?
Wow, talk about what a suckfest that feud/match would be. |

He's actually a pretty good wrestler, he's big, fast, fairly agile, not main event worthy but his gimmick is barley mid-card worthy. If they change up his gimmick it might work as a main-eventer... But that's fairly doubtful.

He needs a new finisher before he gets a main event push, oh and that manager of his needs to go.

Odd.
I like his in ring work, but am not a real fan of the gimmick. The only reason why I like Umaga is because I like Jamal's wrestling. |

I liked Jamal/Ekmo Fatu's in-ring work. I am not a fan of Umaga's thumb of doom and ass smash in-ring work.

I don't mind Umaga, but it has to be obvious to the WWE that the fans are bored/hate the gimmick. If they do push him against Batista, it's not going to sell a pay per view.
I wouldn't mind seeing the match though. Umanga had a decent match against Shawn Michaels, and I'm sure he can do a passable one with Bats. |

Umaga is basically Rikishi for 2006.
Rikishi debuted with exactly the same gimmick, but as soon as they gave the tired 80s Samoan act a shot of modern-day adrenaline with Too Cool, Rikishi got over... big-time. So who knows? All Umaga needs is a hook, and he could go the same way. |

Oh, and I don't mean a Captain Paul Burchill style hook...
Wait, that could work. He could be the Samoan Buster Bluth Machine. |

Jamal is a pretty good worker. I just wish they'd call him Jamal. Why switch brands? Why not just turn Armando Alejandro Estrada face by sticking Umaga on John Cena?
Having this guy go for a World Title is ridiculous. Seeing him have a decent match with Rob Van Dam for the WWE Intercontinental Championship is another thing. I'm not even sure he should win that. Just bring Sonny Siaki up, have them call themselves "The Cousins Rock" and have them team together. That would be awesome. |

This is Vince McMahon's way of showing Samoa Joe what he passed up by signing a 2-year TNA contract a few months ago. McMahon was heavily pushing for Joe to come to WWE and become a big time player in the company, but because of personal reasons, Joe turned it down.
Umaga's gimmick and nickname are direct references to TNA's Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe. It's the WWE creative team's way of showing that they know how to push that kind of gimmick. Personally I think they're proving exactly why Joe made the right decision. |

I've been yhoroughly enjoying Jamal's matches as of late. If he dropped the gimmick I could definately see a main event push.

I could buy Jamal as a main eventer if he can get a decent moveset and a good gimmick. But don't put him back into the Thug gimmick, too much like Cena's.
Although they could put him with Cena as part of a heel chain gang, I wouldn't want Jamal to be held back IF he can get the job done. |

Am I the only person on Earth that does not buy Jamal, even without current gimmick, as a main-eventer?

Call Jamal "The Intern of Thuganomics" or T.I.T. for short, and he can be a solid addition to the Intercontinental Division. If he works well there, you may be able to eventually turn Jamal face and have him feud with Cena. |
