ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2005 OK...watching Heat right now, and they made a mention of a guy with no video named Johnny Parisi (with a somewhat swinger gimmick and a DDT finisher called "The Shaft" I think) and it got me thinking: How many people have been debuting on Velocity or Heat recently, and how many will actually be brought up to the main roster? I know Super Crazy, Psicosis and Juvi got their chance earlier this year... There's still a chance for Doring, Roadkill, and Kid Kash (maybe to all three) Plus, besides Parisi, there's Frankie "The Future" Kazarian debuting on Velocity. So...any chance of any of these guys being brought to the main shows in the future possibly perhaps? I mean, Orlando Jordon started on Velocity, and look where he is now (despite his skill level) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2005 Well it's pretty obvious they're giving Kazarian somewhat of a push, and in a matter of months, I have no doubt that we'll be seeing him on a ppv fighting for the CW title. Whether that means on WM in a CW open or not >_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether that means on WM in a CW open or not >_> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As long as he doesn't trip on the way to the ring like Ultimo did, everything will be fine. ...speaking of which, weren't there reports of Ultimo coming back late last year? What happened with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silence 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 ...speaking of which, weren't there reports of Ultimo coming back late last year? What happened with that?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think I remember reading about Ultimo being frustrated with the way WWE used him that he just decided to go back to Japan. It's sad that Ultimo's dream of competing at Wrestlemania is going to be remembered by him tripping at the entrance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWE was like "we're going to bring you back, except without your mask." So Ultimo did a final show as Ultimo Dragon in Japan and then expected to come back to WWE soon after, and it never happened. So Ultimo wrestles as Ultimo outside of Japan and as The Tiger (a Tiger Mask knock-off, more or less) in Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Molotov The Bear 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 Didnt Simon Dean start off on Heat? I think their doing that (with Kazarian atleast) to get him some tv time and then they'll bring him to SD as opposed to like Kenzo who showed up on SD and sucked hard, their giving people a chance to get into the gimmick. And I think Doring & Roadkill were just used as "indy guys they wanted to give a shot to," though I'd love to see them get a wwe deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if they are talking about Johhny being a swinger, why not just let him have that name? btw I ddi see both velocity and heat this week. Poor Rob Conway got a terrible new theme song thats sounds like it came from the list of Billy Gunns rejected theme ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
