Guest glennsoe Report post Posted June 20, 2004 Jimmy Snuka Jr. and Mark Magnus are slated to be debuting on the main roster shortly doing what was described to me as an "Arabic" gimmick. I believe they will be getting new ring names as well, obviously. They are doing a dry run of the gimmick in Ohio Valley Wrestling right now. Mike Bucci, who wrestles as Nova, was moved up to the role of Assistant booker in Ohio Valley Wrestling last week, as Jim Cornette made the announcement to all the workers. The plan is for Bucci to work under Cornette as a way to learn more about the creative process of the company, possibly as a way to groom him for the WWE creative team down the line. I do know that the company is talking about hiring more writers for TV, although I haven't confirmed any names. Bucci will be handling the house shows and working under Cornette for TV. This following is classified as a rumor, but there was talk going around that Alexis Laree may be brought up to the Raw roster soon under the name "Tina." I haven't heard anything concrete to confirm it, but there has been talk about it over the last few days, so it's a possibility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Guess this means that Nova stays in OVW for a while, and it's BETTER than being slaughtered by Taker & Mordecai..And i ALL for Alexis on the raw roster.....

Now if they'd only cancel the 2 1/2 months of crap to get to that point and declare her the winner, everything would be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted June 20, 2004 .....HAHAHA! If it's true Alexis will be the RAW Diva Search winner (which means it was..gasp..planned ahead of time), it just shows how gullible some people are who think they would win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 Alexis could not win the Diva search, WWE would be in violation of false advertising laws. I am in college right now majoring in advertising. Then again Vince feels he is above the law, so go ahead and try it. I hope a class action lawsuit sounds nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 I thought this was going to be about Nova/Idol getting called up, which I would have been all for. Magnus and Snuka? Eh, I don't know about that. Haven't seen any OVW stuff past April yet, so I haven't been able to see them trying this out. I'm also all for Alexis coming up to the main roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deviant Report post Posted June 21, 2004 I was expecting an Arabic gimmick two years ago... You just knew Vince wouldn't be able to miss another opportunity for cheap stereotypes and insults. I just didn't expect the Arabs to be played by a Samoan and a white guy (Magnus is white, right?) Alexis winning the Diva Search would make it all worth while. Makes a fuckload more sense than actually giving some chick a quarter of a million dollars for sending in a softcore porn photo of herself... Of course, the idea is not to find a female wrestler. Also, while Alexis is cute, they'd probably have difficulty in making people believe that the fans voted her to be the hottest entrant. Although, if she were to win it, she could be a valet that takes crazy bumps, ala her stint in the Gathering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 Hey didn't they say at the start of this whole Diva search that they were Not looking for female wrestlers but what they considered were Divas? So Just plain eye candy. So lets say then that Alexis does win in this wonderfully worthless rigged crap. Are they not wanting her to wrestling. At least not at the beginning?
