Big Vito & John Walters = wwe Bound ???

Recommended Posts

Guest barney

For the last couple of weeks Big Vito and Ring Of Honor's John Walters have been active in wwe matches, so i'm wondering if they both are "wwe bound" or just used as jobbers to the stars.....

 

Big Vito could work well with Nunzio in a new version of the F.B.I

John Walters could make an impact in the cruiserweight division

 

Any news on these guys ?

 

Also do you guys think Frankie Kazarian will do well in wwe ?? I do..

I'm not sure what John Walter's relationship with WWE is. I saw him wrestle live on an tv taping of Smackdown once (not a dark match or on Velocity, but on Smackdown itself).

It's not unheard of for ROH guys to wrestle dark matches or Velocity/Heat matches. I believe Xavier did it while ROH Champ, though I might be wrong on the timeframe here. It doesn't necessarily mean Walters is WWE bound. And I believe this is his only match to date on a WWE ring.

 

As for Big Vito, it's only his second appearence in WWE in two weeks, but no news have come out about wether he's signing or not.

Yes, Xavier did wrestle on Velocity during his ROH title reign. He jobbed to Chuck Palumbo.

 

And the Walters Smackdown match I mentioned in that last post was April 2003, so it's been going on for a while too.

I'm guessing they brought Walters in rather than risk one of their own guys against Masters. They seemed to make an angle out of what he did to Richards, with Ross alluding to wrestlers not being eager to get in the ring with Masters, which is a neat way to make something out of the fact he's a lug with no skill.

They've used Walters a ton of times, i'd think if they were going to bring him in full-time they'd have done it by now. He just seems to be #1 choice for whenever they need a jobber or a Policeman or a Druid or whatever other roles they've stuck him in.

if they do sign Vito, they'll probably do something original and different by putting him with Nunzio in yet another FBI revision. not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but still...

It would be fitting that they'd sign Walters of all the guys on the indy scene, just because he has no charisma and hasn't gotten over whatsoever in ROH...just the type of guy Vince wants to bring in and mold. B-)

 

But yeah, using him against Masters was smart because the RAW babyface jobber roster is only so deep, and so maybe they're giving him a few wins before he runs through Val, Hurricane, Rosey, Rhyno, and maybe Tajiri or Regal.

I'll never forget Big Vito's story he told on WCW Live once about how when he was doing an enhancement match for the WWF back in the early-90s, he gave some jobber a belly-to-back suplex and when they hit the mat, the jobber just unloaded with diarrhea.

Walters has wrestled plenty of matches in WWE... I remember one match of Paul London and Spanky against Walters and American Dragon... on the indies that would kick major ass.

I remember that match. Unfortunately it only went about 3 minutes.

 

Cheers.

Isn't Vito infamous for having major personality problems backstage?

 

If so, even the WWE won't touch him.

I just watched an episode of Shipmates where Big Vito got hooked up with some chick, who I believe is a personal trainer. He actually came across as nice (he won the girl over), even though he seemed fairly stupid.

That was filmed a few months after WCW closed.

 

Yeah, Vito comes across as, quite literally, a mamaluke.
