Enigma Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 "Rick Michaels, who works regularly for Bill Behren's NWA Wildside promotion, will be joining World Wrestling Entertainment as the two sides agreed to a deal today. Behrens made the announcement on the NWA Wildside message board this afternoon. Michaels is slated to take a backstage role with the company (he has a talent for designing ring outfits) and will be on the road fulltime starting with this Monday's Raw taping in Chicago. It stands to reason they may use him in the ring at some point. Michaels is a former NWA Wildside champion and has held the NWA Tag Team championship with David Young." credit: Mike Johnson/PWInsider.com
razazteca Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 Will WWE get all of the Shawn Michaels "family" into a stable?
The Amazing Rando Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 They just need the guy to sew up new black trunks for all the young up and coming hosses.
thuganomics Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 As I recall, Rick can't wrestle anymore. He seriously injures his neck a couple years back, effectively ending his career. Or so I thought.
razazteca Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 They just need the guy to sew up new black trunks for all the young up and coming hosses. How good is Rick Michaels' work as a designer? Does it have the 1990's Marty Jennety Rockers look or what?
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 Yeah, I didn't think Rick was wrestling anymore.
Phoenix Fury Legdrop Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 Actually, Rick injured his spine a couple of years back. He's been wrestling on the Friday night Wildside shows that showcase the rookies coming from the Wildside Training School (run by Rick and HBK trainee Todd Sexton), but I heard he's nowhere near what he used to be. As for his ring gear...he was probably the most sought-after gear-maker on the indies, and the few guys I know for sure that he made their gear have really good-looking ring gear.
Guest Choken One Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 I'm sure this thread will turn into a WHO NEEDS NEW OUTFIT! Debate
A Happy Medium Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 I think I remember this guy being an announcer on PCW shows here in Dallas. Anyways...since Choken called for it.... *puts on "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell* I think Edge needs new tights...his are SO 1999!!
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Yes, a lot of the time when WWE sign new guys, they hardly ever let them work - not even at House Shows. You do have to take into consideration their training, but it still happens a lot.
CanadianChick Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 I'm sure this thread will turn into a WHO NEEDS NEW OUTFIT! Debate Jericho. He *always* needs more tights.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Shawn Michaels - who else could make brown tights look so good?
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Stevie Richards needs help with his look. Indeed - you're probably including this, so look at what's written on his underwear.
Mecha Mummy Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Stevie needs to bring back the baggy blue pants he was wearing in 2002.
CanadianChick Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 What's wrong with Stevie's shorts? I love Stevie Night Heat! Why bother getting new ones? It's not like he's going to be on Raw anytime soon...
razazteca Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 If Stevie wants to continue the "Stevie Night Heat" gimmick then he should get a vest or some airbrush Jimmy Hart gear.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 What's wrong with Stevie's shorts? I love Stevie Night Heat! Why bother getting new ones? It's not like he's going to be on Raw anytime soon... That's what I meant - they work for Heat, although they don't convey what they are probably meant to, which is him being the leader of the pack. I meant for is he was to be used on Raw as anything but a lackey.
deancoles Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 They could have got EZ Money to do the outfits, he did some cool ones in ECW. EZ Money Website
