WWE dials wrong one-legged wrestler

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

- It turns out that WWE does not have plans to sign one-legged wrestler Steve Chamberlain. WWE accidently contacted Chamberlain while trying to get in touch with another one-legged wrestler, Tenacious Z. WWE has signed Tenacious Z.

If this is true, all I have to say is...

 

...

 

...and that's all, I don't even think this is worthy of comment, or jokes, really.

[Guest Choken One]

Is there a Phone book of One legged Wrestlers or something?

 

Is this the new "Trend" of wrestling? I could forsee HHH whacking off his "Bad" leg just to claim he owns the One Legged Wrestlers...

[Guest treble charged]

It's hilarious. Replace 'one legged' with 'black' and you've got a news story on your hands.

[Guest TheGame2705]

This story sounds like a stupid joke. I don't believe it.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

What a way till crush a kid's dreams. Get the call from the WWE and a couple days later get the one says "whoops! Sorry, you're the wrong guy."

[Guest tpww7]

Gotta love the WWE.

I don't know much about these sort of things, but could that not be grounds for some sort of law suit if they actually did something like that?

[Guest Ace309]

Not unless they signed something, no.

 

DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer. My word is not law, unless proposition 24 passes, which we all pray it will.

[Guest Choken One]

It's no different then saying "We would like to talk with you"...and then going "We changed your mind"...

 

They seemingly never offered him a contract so there is no legalities...

If that's the case I'm sure he could sue for trama or something...I mean you can sue for ANYTHING now. People who knowingly suck black smoke into their lungs sue when they get sick.

 

I could probably walk down the street, pimp slap an old lady, then sue her for making my hand sting. It's almost gotten that bad.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

THIS

PROMOTION

IS

FUCKED

 

 

That is all

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

WWE has a quota. They can only have one one-legged wrestler, and only one quality wrestler.

[Guest Will Scarlet]

This story sounds like a stupid joke.

 

Isn't that basically what the WWE is now though? This story seems to fit right in...

[Guest TheArchiteck]

Wow, that really has to suck.

I'm pretty sure that this guy told everyone he knew that he was going big time.

That has to be one of most unprofessional thing they have done.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Dunno...this almost seems classy when you put it up again Kane laying track on dead girls and D-lo knocking Terri into a miscarage.

[Guest nikowwf]

So, they asked to talk to someone, then found out it wasn't him, and told him they were sorry. Wow, damn unproffensional. They should close down tommorrow.

 

Seriously, you people bitch an awful lot sometimes, don't you think?

For a multimillion dollar company, there is no excuse for something this amaturish going on.

[Guest nikowwf]

Companies make mistakes, what world do you live in? Seriously, do you have all the details? From what i understood, it said they contacted the wrong person. I've called the wrong person before.....you think its impossible to ask for a name from someone and be led to the wrong person?

 

niko

[Guest razazteca]

well they are going to scrap the Siamese/Conjoined twin angle?

 

At least WWE is not signing Maury Povish guest.

[Guest Mik at Cornell]

That has to be one of most unprofessional thing they have done.

Oh, please. The D-Lo, Terri angle wasn't bad.

For me, sure, we all make mistakes. However, for a company to do something like this, there is no excuse. If they can't have their shit together enough than to call the right talent, then something is wrong. In any other company of WWE's status, someone would loose their job over this. They didn't just call the wrong person, they called the wrong person leading them to believe they would be signed to a contract. If a production company called someone and did something like this, someone would be fired.

 

There is no excuse.

[Guest nikowwf]

AOL mistated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Lets not even get into Enron. Companies do big huge horrible things all the time.

 

WWE CALLED (not offered contract, mind you) the wrong person and you want the person to get fired. Jim Ross says WE SHOULD GET THAT 1 LEGGED GUY FROM NWA...someone else says, HEY I KNOW WHO THAT IT IS, gives him the wrong name and he calls them.

 

FIRE THEM ALL...thats just damn impossible and inexcusable

[Guest The Hamburglar]

But more to the point, why give a fuck? What's with this sudden fascination for the well-being of one-legged wrestlers anyway? Seems a bit patronising, really.

[Guest nikowwf]

because the WWE is going to do some evil thing to him which Vince Pureheart Russo and the mighty and heroic NWA (our heroes) would never do....not only that but the evil WWE made it even worse by making that other poor 1 legged guy hop over to answer the phone when they didn't even want to talk to him...

 

shocking...

 

sorry for the sarcasm, but thats what im hearing out of a lot of peeps on this

Miscarriage is not something you joke about, or make light of in an angle. It's one thing you stay away from.

 

And as for WWE getting the wrong wrestler, would it have been that hard for someone to ask "Could I speak to Tenacious Z please ?" when calling the guy ?

[Guest RenegadeX28]

FUCKED UP..............BIG TIME.

 

 

The WWE should get their information right, before doing this. This guy must be confused after what just happened.....

[Guest The Hamburglar]

What, not like having wrestlers dressed up as the KKK, wrestlers wearing Nazi symbols and using tragic deaths in order to further angles? You shock me, sir.

Yes, I know companies make mistakes, obviously. However, there is no excuse to fuck something up as simple as a phone call. It just doesn't make sense to me, and isn't something that a big company should be excused for doing, but hey, that's my opinion.

[Guest Rob Edwards]

It's sad for the kid involved and it's a silly mistake to make but that said it is plausible although it doesn't reflect very well on the way WWE hunts for talent
