King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2002 There's talk of a few guys being fired from WWE that NWA might be interested in e.g they wouldn't have to build them up so much as they already are identifable, not too bad wrestlers, in decent enough shape to fight. Hell, they took BG James and Curt Hennig, so why not these guys? Justin Credible-In ECW, he was able to work some pretty good matches. His ally Syxx-Pac's gone though, so he won't get that advantage. He'd fill up the mid card I guess, and he'd be a decent ally for Russo, but he's past his prime slightly. Raven-Back in ECW, he was OVER. He didn't do too bad in the WWE, until he got jobbed to Heat. If he were to resurrect his mysterious gimmick as a face against Russo, the old school ECW fans'd probably lap it up. But like Credible, he's past his prime and been damaged by the WWE jobbing him out again. Shannon Moore-He's improved since his flying act with 3 Count, and would fit in with the X Division somehow, but he's nowhere up to AJ and Low Ki's standards. He'd not be the best X Divisioner, but he'd help out. Too green maybe though. Johnny Stamboli-He'd fill up the lower mid card for sure. But he's no star. Mamaluke and Stamboli would be the obvious team to help the Tag Division, but he's not the best signing to make. It's obvious at least a couple of these guys would be linked to NWA if they got fired, and the 'star' appeal may attract JJ, but would they fit in? I think NWA'd be better getting some young new talent in, like Jason Cross, but it'd be a temporary pull. Hell, these guys'd be an improvement on the Harrises and BG.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted December 13, 2002 Raven would be a good pickup for them as a manager type role. He wouldn't even need to wrestle to help them. Shannon Moore is the only other guy on that list that would be a decent pickup. Moore isn't ready to win the x division belt but he'd be good filler for the division. Well Credible is better than BG James so maybe they can replace him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted December 13, 2002 Raven, Moore would likely get picked up. Raven is said to be a pretty smart wrestling guy, so he could help behind the scenes. I could see Stamboil getting at least a try out since I think he got along with Russo. I think Credible is 50/50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Slapnuts00 Report post Posted December 13, 2002 Raven would definitely have some type of role, and Shannon would be good for the X division. Stamboli and Credible would at least get shots. All 4 of them would be good pickups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest netslob Report post Posted December 14, 2002 they should put Raven in a program with the New Church, where he tries to steal the Disciples out from under Mitchell. think about it, Brian Lee used to follow Raven in ECW, and Belladonna could be his new Beulah/ Kimona/ Chastity/ Francine.

syxx2001 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2002 why do people say "wwe rejects" when they talk about the nwatna roster? many of the guys are good wrestlers. a reject is someone who cant cut it in one group so they go to another. anyone can cut it in wrestling with a push. look at the big show. and in 1997-1999, most of the wwf's and wcw's roster were wcw, wwf and ecw rejects according to you, but no one ever says it. stone cold steve austin? debra? jeff jarrett? raven? benoit? malenko? eddie guererro? rey jr? jericho? saturn? nash? hall? undertaker? vader? juventud? psicosis? triple h? x-pac? scott steiner? rick steiner?

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted December 14, 2002 Size of the company. When someone ends up in WWE they've ended up in the top company in the country. When someone goes from WWE to TNA it's a step down the ladder. That isn't to say that some guys couldn't benefit from a move to TNA, hell...look at K-Kwick for the easiest example. I think alot of it has to do with what someone does after they get to TNA. K-Kwick re-invented himself...while someone like Brian Lawler is just a WWE reject until he proves otherwise.

Guest Insanityman Report post Posted December 15, 2002 I could see Moore as filler. Credible is iffy, I don't mind him but meh. Raven would be a great pick up for being a manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do agree with your first statements there. Some people are turned off by the number of former WWE/WCW wrestlers appearing on TNA. Personally I couldn't care less, as their product is ten times better than the WWE's now anyway. If the WWE is willing to let good talent go, I would hope TNA makes a good effort to sign them. Especially if this Shannon Moore thing is true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see a lot of that on this board. Only for the person who started this thread and if you noticed their name is BiScHoFf Is GoD!!! I didn't say the NWA was WWE rejects. Far from it, it's where the best new talent is being made and advanced. I was talking about the guys that are possibly on the verge of being fired from WWE. They therefore would be WWE rejects, but once they join NWA, they're NWA wrestlers. Simple as that. So I didn't label anyone as a WWE reject from the current NWA:TNA roster. And anyway, just cause someone didn't make it in WWE doesn't mean they can't make it elsewhere e.g Jerry Lynn, Ron Killings, Low Ki, Brian Lawler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Slapnuts00 Report post Posted December 15, 2002 Just to clarify, if you're fired by WWE you were rejected by them, therfore they are WWE rejects. The WWE is NOT filled with ECW/WCW rejects since they were not fired they either left themselves or were picked up when the companies went out of business. They would be refugees I guess...
