    He and KENTA(if he signs with the WWE) should debut as tag team sponsored by the mastermind behind the 1 in 21-1.

    Too bad. I'm actually thinking that would get a good reaction.

    Or team him with Camacho and call them Jesus Begorrah

  32. Elmo MacheteMay 15, 2014 at 6:48 PM

    Roman Reigns is a pretty badass name, Seth Rollins is... okay, I guess. I was gonna say "Seth" doesn't sound like the name of someone who could kick your ass, but then again neither did "Tyler."

    But for some reason, I've never liked the name Dean Ambrose. Maybe it makes me think of Dean Douglas, I dunno. Just doesn't sound like a wrestling name to me.

    He should debut under his real name, so that everyone can lament how he WASN'T given a goofy stage name.

    I'd prefer Heyman managing Okada but that would happen on the 7th of never.

    Don't worry, "Seth Rollins" will be known as "Rollins" soon enough.

    Pro: More money, more career longevity away from the strong style


    Con: I'm selfish and will miss him in NJPW.

  37. Kenny_ChillMay 15, 2014 at 8:58 PM

    Me too. I'm honestly shocked as he was making huge money in NJPW, plus he had stuff like being the race of Armani in Japan.

    On the plus side, Devitt is kinda like a more awesome CM Punk. If he wrestles D-Bry, it's going to be 5 stars.

    Dean Ambrose sounds like an old guy schmoozing it up with the Full Blooded Italians on the Jersey shore.

    It says a lot about you that you waste time on 411 of all places.

    What it says is that I'm lazy and I visit to see what the headlines because it is quick and easy.


    Nice try? I'll give you minute to reply to another post and try to make a point.

    It's reminiscent of Dean Malenko, which can't be bad

    I'll be honest: I know basically nothing about this guy, but if it leads to more great matches in NXT and WWE, I'm all in.

    How is Devitt anyway similar to Punk?


    Punk hasn't been a pure worker in almost 10 years. He's a character, Devitt is an uber athlete junior heavyweight. Punk and him are in the same weight class and hjve a similar hybrid style, but that's every single independent wrestler with some buzz.


    By your logic, Punk is kinda like a more awesome Davey Richards. True, but an utterly bizarre comparison to make in the first place.

    Why would two Irishmen and a Scot be managed by a Londoner?
