Downhome 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 From PWInsider: WWE has announced that they are bringing in Rodney Mack, Marty Jannetty and Brad Armstrong for the next "several months" to "help younger talent develop their skills in the ring," which was something Vince McMahon talked about at his investors meeting yesterday. They will be given a chance at a full time job with WWE based on how things work out after their return. The company also announced that they have signed Henry Godwinn to a deal as well.

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 Is this the 10th time Jannetty has been hired by WWE now? I believe it's his sixth or seventh stint with the company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 Godwinn sucked in 1996. I doubt spending most of the last decade sitting on his ass has improved him that much. EDIT: At least HHH can get his job back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 I find it funny that WWE.com only used Rodney Mack's picture for the story. For the Henry Godwinn story, they didn't even include a picture at all, or even much of a story other than just saying they have re-signed him. Speaking of Godwinn, has he even been working since he was last in WWE? I know he's worked in OVW for much of this year (anyone check him out there?), but has he worked anywhere else?

Alro 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 I've not seen Godwinn on OVW TV once. I think all he has worked is dark matches, but from what I've heard he is just as good as he ever was, if not a little better. That's not to say I want him back in the WWE or anything.

Perfxion 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 Brad Armstrong= Trainer for talent, good choice since he can wrestle. Also, prevents TNA signing him to semi-tag with his brother. H.O.G = WHY?!?! Mack = E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB! And giving C.M. Punk his first lost. Then the next 30. Marty= Rockers reunion after Triple H turns on HBK, again, and then gets fired after failing a drug test, again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2006 Is this the 10th time Jannetty has been hired by WWE now? I believe it's his sixth or seventh stint with the company.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2006 It's possible they just brought these guys in for dark matches and not on air work. Considering how Mack couldn't get over no matter what they did with him, I doubt they want him back on the screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
