A photo has surfaced online of the group of female talent who took part in WWE's Evaluation Clinic. The photo shows a load of Divas on their lunch break outside a local restaurant. Among those trying out include former TNA performer Josette Bynum (a/k/a Sojournor Bolt, Josie), former TNA performer Bonnie Maxon (a/k/a Ms. Payton Banks, Rain), AAA Women's Champion Sexy Star, independent wrestler She Nay Nay (notably competed against Beth Phoenix last October on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown), and a pair of blonde twins from Ohio Valley Wrestling known as The Blossom Twins.

 

Finally WWE are looking at Rain (would love to see my future wife on WWE tv) lets hope they do the right thing and sign her, and also i really hope they dont sign Sojournor Bolt.

You never saw/heard any of the "Joey Styles - that knock out kid" stuff that was going around straight afterwards? Haha, those were funny days.

 

Story has it JBL was just aggravating Styles no end, full on constant bullying, Styles blasted him with a shot in the chops or jaw and put JBL on the ground. Which is endlessly awesome. ROHGuard, no matter the circumstances, the fact of the matter is Joey Styles knocked a 300+ pound, rough tough cowboy to the ground. With one punch, sucker or not. I get what you're saying though, I miss JBL ...more as a commentator though, I gotta say.

 

Apparently back in the day when he was Bradshaw he was screwing with Steve Blackman at an airport, Blackman went to roundhouse kick him but his foot got caught in a bag. Say what you will about JBL, but at least he keeps things interesting, haha.

Strong small guys can easily beat out-of-shape fat guys. It can and does happen.

[Stennick]

I dunno it would be cool because Morrison I see as our generations Shawn Michaels in a sense. He reminds me of HBK when he had his IC run.

 

See him as this generation's HBK in which way? He's a slender, athletic, attractive male, who has broken from a tag team to find success in the mid card?

 

Because I don't think John has a tenth of the wrestling ability and a hundredth of the charisma that Shawn had.

 

They have similar builds, similar looks and their careers have gone somewhat the same way in the WWE but I'd say thats where the similarities start and end.

[Slagaholic]

Remember when you couldn't make it through a Morrison match without him being compared to HBK 25 times? Boy those days stunk.

[The Final Countdown]

With the way Miz's career has gone, maybe Morrison should be compared to the other member of the Rockers.

Forgive me for not realising Joey Styles was a strong man in his weight class.

[The Shape]

Man I feel bad for Ziggler. A year ago was when he should have won this belt. The crowd were all over him at summerslam against rey. Huge let's go ziggler chants, he was impressing everybody, the belt actually meant something, it was awesome. Now, nobody cares about the belt, the guy he beat for it or the match he won it in, and to make it even worse he gets his ass kicked afterwards.

Agree to disagree. Josie fits WWE's product far better than Rain does (and I love Rain to death), although Rain probably has the more WWE-ready body. Besides, they know Josie better, I would think, given the time she spent in OVW (like Serena). Hannah and Holly are great development prospects (like the Bellas) but I'd be sad if Polly (aka Sexy Star) wound up with them. Would be a waste of a very promising lucha talent. Plus, I much prefer seeing Rain on the indies (where she's featured) whenever I want rather than a couple minutes a month in largely throwaway segments. She Nay Nay is a SPARKLE wrestler, I thought, so she'd be a good choice to move up to the 'E. She hasn't proven herself to be a fully capable performer so she's just one or two steps up from 'fitness model' in my eyes.

 

Then again, this could all come to nothing. After all, how many times has Melissa been "evaluated" by the 'E?

[TheEdgeOfReason]

Apparently WWE have signed Tyler Black. Can't say I am familiar with his work, but from what I've read its a good signing, yeah?

Meh, some people seem to like him but I think he's probably the least charismatic guy alive and can't quite fathom his rapid rise in RoH.

I knew it was only a matter of time before WWE picked him up, great news

[The Final Countdown]

Tyler can put on some very good matches (his match with Davey Richards from this year's Death Before Dishonor is MOTY so far IMO), and I suppose he has a decent look by WWE standards, but the dude cannot talk. At all. Best of luck to him, but I don't seem him making it very far.

[ChrisKid]

Hoping Tyler dosen't get a dodgy name

He isn't a second generation wrestler as far as I know, so he is at least safe from the worst of the dodgy names.

[Big Roguey]

So he shall become Black Tyler, because we all know how the WWE like to just switch indy workers names around.

Black Tyler the Pirate. Huzzah

Ya know they could his real name with his ROH character and get names like Colby Black or Tyler Lopez, simple?

I'd change Colby Black to maybe Cody Black or even Tarzan Lopez but that's just me

[MasterJ]

The wrestlemania showing on NBC last night drew a very very very bad rating of .66 or rounded up .7 that's terible

[Tha Black Phenom]

It deserved it. Rip-off of a show. No point to it.

[Candyman]

A ripoff recap version of a show from months ago that you know the results to that got minimal advertising...got bad ratings? I'm shocked.

[lazorbeak]

I've been a fan of Black ever since I built a small indy promotion around him in EWR about 4 years ago. Is bringing him in as Punk's rookie next season of NXT or a member of the SES too obvious? I mean he could be Punk's little brother the two look so similar.

[Comradebot]

I'll be honest, I'm not too hyped about Tyler Black. He's a good in-ring worker and incredibly athletic, but he's always been as dull as beige and I've always thought his ring work relyed too heavily on his athleticism. He reminds me of the guy from Indian Jones with the sword, flailing it around with incredible skill yet in a manner that's completely unnecessary and accomplishes nothing. And that's Tyler Black: throwing in random flips and flops that do absolutely nothing except show he can flip and flop.
