I know that he had a tryout against Cena, but I didn't know that he
was actually hired by WWF at one time in order to be fired.
Was it just a matter of being too small, or was there some other
reason for this particular firing?
Got me, I didn't even hear about the guy until late 2002.
He was in Memphis went that was a developmental territory. Right before it was dropped and people were assigned to either OVW or HWA, he was released, along with guys with Spanky and a few other trainees from the Shawn Michaels training school. I have his shoot interview from 2003 or 2004 and he talks about that a bit
ReplyDeleteIt was probably due to his size but I think even he admits he was still green as grass during that time. His ROH run gave him his credibility.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I know about his time in Memphis developmental is this video of a match between him and William Regal. I remember watching this years ago and was surprised to find it still online.

So....I just switched to a Mac and I don't know all the short cut keys, but I was just wondering what I press so I can HUG YOU THROUGH THE SCREEN FOR THAT.
ReplyDeleteHaving English teacher be your fallback plan is a terrible idea... Everybody want to teach English and there are no jobs available.
ReplyDeleteHe could always guest star on CM Punk's grammar slam.

ReplyDeleteHahaha thanks dude! Appreciating the cyber hug!
ReplyDelete3:55 Regal hits a slingshot FU!
ReplyDeleteMan was that ever the wrong time to be trying to break into WWE anyway, with all the WCW and ECW guys fighting for spots. Although there again, all the Class of '02 guys did well for themselves so maybe it was a missed oppotunity. Still, he's better off in the current environment. Sometimes its better to get well seasoned in the indies before stepping up than to get signed while you're still young and just getting hot. Look at Paul London for example.
ReplyDeleteHe was enhancement talent at the time...not hired, just a tryout for TV or just a lay-down guy to the stars.
ReplyDelete'Everybody want to teach English'
ReplyDeletelolololololololololololololo
read what you wrote, brah
He doesn't have to speak or write English well to comment on another's plan to be an English teacher.
ReplyDeleteHe was in developmental when the WWE was using Memphis and dropped when they left there and used OVW and HWA.
ReplyDeleteand this is why politics fail in the united states of america.
