Downhome Posted September 15, 2006 Report 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.
snuffbox Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 The help of that grizzled veteran, Rodney Mack, is just what the wwe needs.
CanadianChick Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Is this the 10th time Jannetty has been hired by WWE now?
k thx Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Wasn't he only fired earlier this year?
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted September 15, 2006 Report 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.
Cheech Tremendous Posted September 15, 2006 Report 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.
Downhome Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report 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?
Eclipse Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Since when is the help of Rodney Mack needed to develop younger talent?
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 So they have this giant roster with guys they aren't sure what to do with...and they hire fucking Rodney Mack, Brad Armstrong, and Henry Godwin? I swear to God, this company runs backwards.
Angles Broken Fricken Neck Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 janetty being rehired is a yearly attraction i look forward to.
Black Lushus Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 as long as these guys are used to job out to others, like they're doing with Tatanka, i don't have an issue with it. Feed them to Umaga for all I care. Just don't push these jokers.
BUTT Posted September 15, 2006 Report 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. Hmmmmm.....let's see 1987: Couple of dark matches and then fired 1988-1993: Teamed with Michaels until Barber Shop angle, then took several months off due to legal issues as well as to sell the injury, all this time still being under contract. Fired after Rumble match with HBK. 1993-1994: Comes back in May, wins and loses IC and tag belt, released in early '94 1995-1996: Returns in September '95, forms New rockers, released in late 96-early '97 2005: Returns for two matches, get resigned and then released 2006: Brought back for Kiss My Ass angle, last two weeks 2006: And now he's back again!
Lt. Al Giardello Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Bring back 2 Cold Scorpio!
Timmy8271 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 DON'T FIRE MARTY, DON'T FIRE MARTY!!! That sounds so much better than Don't fire eric.
snuffbox Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 I can see Brad Armstrong being an asset to young talent...so he will be the first to go of this group. Rodney Mack has ecw written all over him.
razazteca Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 The help of that grizzled veteran, Rodney Mack, is just what the wwe needs. Cryme Tyme needs all the help they can get.
Frankie Williams Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Marty Jannetty??? God damn it!!!! Now the Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass Club has lost ALL credibility in my eyes!!!!
Alro Posted September 15, 2006 Report 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.
Karnage Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 I thought Vince just verbally buried Marty a few months earlier.
The Niggardly King Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Rodney Mack was starting to have some good matches on Heat for a couple of months before he was fired...
milliondollarchamp Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 so how long before Jannetty gets fired i say 6 weeks
Youth N Asia Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 I like the idea of Brad Armstrong getting a WWE deal...but seriously, is there any money to be made with any of these guys? I don't see the logic when there are so many talented YOUNG indy workers out there
Guest droptoehold Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 can we start the marty jannettey get fired pool? i choose oct 2nd
Jericholic82 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 I can see Brad Armstrong being an asset to young talent...so he will be the first to go of this group. Rodney Mack has ecw written all over him. He can team up with his girl again, wait Is Jazz under contract? she made one appearance at the ecw vs wwe head to head usa special, losing to Mickie James Marty hired again, wow, hes the Billy Martin of WWE
Perfxion Posted September 15, 2006 Report 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.
Enigma Posted September 16, 2006 Report 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. Meltzer said after WWE "severed all professional ties" with Jannetty back before WM22 that it was the 9th time he was fired from WWE.
2GOLD Posted September 16, 2006 Report 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.
TheFranchise Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 I bet Cena won't Back the Mack. But him on SD and see the Mack/Long interaction and history ignored.
Aero Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 EDIT: At least HHH can get his job back. Actually, HHH won the hog pen match. He just got tossed in it afterwards.
Lil' Bitch Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 They had to let Jannety go last time because he couldn't leave the state to work shows / do TV angles because of his probation. I like Marty and Rodney so I'm happy to hear this news.
