EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2002 "Former WCW cruiserweight champion Ultimo Dragon, who was seriously injured several years ago and retired from active competition, is in the midst of a comeback. Recently, Jim Ross met with the Dragon on behalf of WWE, and had a long talk about possibly working for the promotion. If the Dragon is able to come back and work, he is apparently part of WWE's 2003 plans." credit: WWE.com, 411wrestling.com Ladies and gentlemen...Rey/Ultimo Dragon...WHO COULD HAVE THUNK IT?

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted September 28, 2002 I think Ultimo Dragon is one of those guys who's just to good for america. That would be like Kawada joining the nWo or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted September 28, 2002 J.R. called him "Ultimate Dragon" for which he must die. "This is Ultimo Dragon, Velocity #1 announcer!" Funaki and Ultimo Dragon, The Japanese Announce Team, anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Psycho Diablo Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Treat him right, ya WWE morons. Dragon on TV..means I watch for once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Stupid. Go watch WW III '96, if you want a good Rey/Dragon match. This, I don't need to see. Whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest midnight_burn Report post Posted September 28, 2002 He'd be jobbing to Mark Henry a week after arriving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pop Culture God Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Ultimo Dragon will bring cred to the CW Division. WWE should start a deal with Toryumon where workers can go for tours there and some can come here for stints. Magnum TOKYO vs. Shannon Moore would rule all.

Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted September 28, 2002 I hope Dragon stays as far away as possible from the WWE. I don't want to see him and buried and have his style butchered like every other cruiser. If he has to come back to America I hope he goes to the NWA where he can just be himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pop Culture God Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Because NWA can't pay him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted September 28, 2002 NWA can pay him. Just not quite as much. I just don't want to see him misused and get grounded. But if he does end up in the WWE I won't complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pop Culture God Report post Posted September 28, 2002 No, seriously NWA can't handle another big salary now, and if he comes back he'll do it for the right price ONLY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheHulkster Report post Posted September 28, 2002 This is the best news i've heard in a while. Ultimo Dragon coming back in general was great news, but coming back to US TV each week? I just want to see him run down after a Rey Misterio match and beat the piss out of him starting a 6 month feud. A guy can dream can't he? Imagine what Ultimo Dragon Vs Kurt Angle would be like.

Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted September 28, 2002 True. I just hate seeing my fav WCW guys get ruined by Vince & Co. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted September 28, 2002 I haven't seen the Ultimo Dragon wrestle to be honest. Though, it would be good to have a new face in the cruiserweight division. I like the idea of an Ultimo Dragon vs. Mysterio fued as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest art_vandelay Report post Posted September 28, 2002 I wonder if they'll be able to get La Majistral over as a finisher in the fed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted September 28, 2002 To do that, he has to upset someone with lots of crediblity with it. Does anyone see this happening? People said Rey would freshen the Cruiserweight division, too. The WWE will never ever have a succesfull Cruiserweight division, because of their refusal to do it the only way that it has ever worked: Keeping them seperate.

EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Maybe they would let him use the Dragon Sleeper instead of La Magistral...that would be better, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Slapnuts00 Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Maybe they would let him use the Dragon Sleeper instead of La Magistral...that would be better, I think. What about the Top Rope Dragon Rana!? I want to seem him do that again. But of course we all might be getting ahead of ourselves, just because he gets in the ring again doesn't mean he'll be in the same shape. He may be limited because of his injury. EDIT: I believe he also did the DRAGON SUPLEX! a lot in WCW too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest PlatypusFool Report post Posted September 28, 2002 I hope Ultimo stays well away from WWE, he might have a couple of good matches, but sooner rather than later, Vince will fuck it up and make him look shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Pop Culture God Report post Posted September 29, 2002 WWE = wrestling for dumbies No, I remember agreeing with them at the time because even though that move is badass, they can't risk another injury to a top card performer. (In this case it was Jericho.) Hell if UT can't do the Tombstone, why should Benoit do the significantly more dangerous Dragon Suplex? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
