so the wwe are trying to gather up all of the talent from roh?
doesn't mean that they will use them properly , chances are we are going to see cena/hhh/orton in the main even for a number of years whilst the hardworking mid/upper mid carders are going to work there asses off to keep the company afloat |

I wonder if some of you would have a heart attack if the WWE formed an ROH stable to take over the shows.

That would be a stupid ass idea. But really, I think McGuinness has a lot of potential upside, moreso that Dragon really. He's got the size, the look, can work the stick, and can work better than most of the young guys in WWE.

I guess they figured CM Punk was pretty successful.

Danielson and McGuinness are both really fucking good in the ring...but I really have a hard time seeing success anywhere but ECW. If they went to the other two shows they'd just be used as talented jobbers ala Charlie Haas.

I don't think Danielson can make it 'all the way'. But McGuinness can go as far as they let him. He has the talent, the mic skills and a decent look. Only thing that could be held against him is size and fondness of lariating people's heads off. CM Punk is their World Heavyweight champion atm though so who knows. |

Looking at it realistically, Dragon don't have much of a character aside from being a great wrestler, and don't have much size. McGuinness has all the tools the WWE looks for in a wrestler. I"m not saying it's a guarantee they'll use him right, but there's always a chance. Nobody really gave Punk a chance, and look where he's at. Ideally, I would love to see Dragon & McGuinness bring their feud to ECW, where they could compete for Regal's attention. Regal and their crew could beat down Danielson, and McGuinness could join Regal's little group. Anyway, we'll just wait and see I guess.

Yeah, Kenny King is ready for tv. He should have won Tough Enough, not Maven.

Maven was alright, but Kenny King is the man. He's like Shelton Benjamin with charisma and mic ability.

Let Danielson and Nigel have 15 minutes on Superstars, and they'll be fine.
Yeah, Danielson is on the small side, but look at the roster these days. Punk is World Champ, Nigel is the same size as him, and Danielson is 3 inches shorter. If Punk can have realistic matches with Undertaker, Orton, Edge, etc, there's no reason to think that Nigel, and in theory, Danielson can't. Now whether that'll happen is a different story. Hopefully Nigel has a cocky Brit character. No fucking "I hate America, I love England" shit, just let him go out and be a cocky asshole. Danielson... I still don't know what they're going to do with him... Dye his hair orange and make him Sheamus' brother? |

They should ditch Abraham Washington's gimmick and give it to Kenny King.

Sucks he won't be able to use the Tower of London in WWE.
However, I think he could get over huge with the London Dungeon. Complicated finishers have a hard time getting over but that move is simple and looks really painful. |

Exactly, 2 things that are more important than ability for Vince. And McGuinness is in Danielson's league in terms of ability.
lol a mate of mine said pretty much the exact same thing to me last week As for the Tough Enough comments, Kenny King was on season 2. Won by Linda Miles/Shaniqua and Jackie Gayda. Making it even worse. |

He could probably do his rebound lariat too. Not necessarily as a finisher, but I'm sure WWE would eat it up since they love show-boaty/flashy moves (see: Kofi's legdrop, MVP's ballin' elbow, Morrison's standing shoot star, etc) |

No, like a legitimate thing... I swear I saw him in a commercial for it... And he's fat.

I meant he can't do it because it's a more devastating looking version of the RKO.
Silly.

I wonder if he gets into debates on the show, but then ends each one with "Oh yeah? Well I eliminated The Undertaker at Royal Rumble 2002!"
