<p>Morning everyone. It turns out I've been gone the past few weeks. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

I was kinda amused when they couldn't think of anyone who was comparable to Mark Henry on monday, now that I'm watching (I've not really been watching TV lately... kinda the reason I kept not coming here, was cause I haven't been watching wrestling. Or anything else.)</p>

[brashleyholland]

For anyone wondering what would happen if someone channelled the spirit of Shawn Michaels Sweet Chin Music in a real fight... :-D

 

 

Awesome.

So much win! That really woulda hurt.

[ampulator]

I posted this in the MMA thread, but figured it's just as, if not more, relevant here.

 

So there was a rumour about a month back that a 'reasonably major' UFC name's representatives were putting out feelers for a jump to the WWE. I heard three names from people 'in the know', one of which later turned out to be hot air.

 

The one that *does* seem to have some merit is Roy 'Big Country' Nelson. If you don't know him, he won the recent Heavyweight season of The Ultimate fighter, beating Kimbo Slice in the process. He's known for being short and fat with a mullet and rubbing his belly when he wins. Despite his look at attitude, he's actually a decent fighter, easily one of the UFC's top 10 heavyweights.

 

For anyone who hasn't read it yet, the story is that Nelson signed a contract about two years ago with Roy Jones Jr's 'Square Ring Promotions' to compete on their boxing/MMA PPV in March of 09. Turns out that they still have some kind of options on Nelson's career, and are suing Nelson and the UFC. No word on how much merit their case has, but it's serious enough to get him pulled from UFC 125 and to have his UFC career publicly put 'on ice' by Dana White.

 

Nelson has talked about 'fighting' the Undertaker on twitter (following the failed Brock Lesnar/Undertaker confrontation at UFC 121) and the word is that he could be allowed to do his own thing until this legal situation is cleared up.

 

So assuming all of the above is true, and Nelson's people are reaching out to WWE...what say wrestling fans to the idea? Do you even know who he is? Is he popular enough from The Ultimate Fighter in the US to be known by the average WWE fan if he turns up on Raw, for example? Could you see him having an 'MMA vs UFC' match at Wrestlemania?

Roy Nelson? Well, Roy Nelson would be interesting to see. The problem is, does WWE feel like in Battle mode, or Defense mode? If it's defense mode, they might try to "bury" him. If it's battle mode, they will push him to moon to get the best use out of him possible.

 

He needs to be matched up with a person that can protect themselves, though. Someone like, Bryan Danielson, or Punk, if he wasn't injured.

[Stennick]

What do you mean by "protect" themselves?

 

Anyway nobody really knows who Roy Nelson is and the people that do know who he is most likely only know him as the guy that beat Kimbo.

 

Roy doesn't really look like a main event, honestly he reminds me of Trevor Murdoch. He might get a job in the WWE......MAYBE but he's not going to be main eventing, he's no Ken Shamrock thats for sure.

 

I like the guy as a fighter but I don't see him as a pro wrestler....a successful one. I'd suggest going to TNA they might fall all over themselves for somebody like that.

[ampulator]

no one said he had to be main event. Hell, even Shamrock wasn't in the main event for long. I don't know why he wasn't in the main event, but that was the case. He make some side money, and he might work out better than anyone expects. Never count Roy Nelson out.

[BHK1978]

I really shouldn't draw any attention to this loser but it's mildly funny, it's like he's a hired troll on a mission to disrupt any wrestlers twitter he can find...

 

 

I have to say I did find the X Pac and Vance Archer stuff to be pretty funny.

[BurningHamster]

I know I am behind the times but this could not escape my attention.

 

Brooklyn Brawler - The King of Old School

[Blackman]

Watched NXT episode, and actually lolled a lot during the last competition segment. Funny stuff. The first match was almost abysmal though. Second match was ok i guess.

[brashleyholland]

Roy Nelson? Well, Roy Nelson would be interesting to see. The problem is, does WWE feel like in Battle mode, or Defense mode? If it's defense mode, they might try to "bury" him. If it's battle mode, they will push him to moon to get the best use out of him possible.

 

 

Seems to me like they're in defence mode. Otherwise why isn't there an 'MMA Bad Ass' character already tearing it up in the WWE, capitalising on the MMA boom?

[lazorbeak]

Probably because Vince doesn't watch MMA and is about 10 years out of touch.

RELEASE:

Shad Gaspard endeavored.

 

 

Not his tyme I guess.

 

EDIT:

 

Might be Christmas cleaning time... Luke Gallows & Big Dick Johnson are also released..

 

Gallows upsets me, he actually showed good skill his whole time in WWE and even good mic work thanks to his SES stuff.

[ChrisKid]

alex rileys profile has been deleted on wwe.com so he may be released also apparently JTG may be going soon

[UkWrestleFan]

Wonder if any of them end up with TNA.

 

It really is a shame about Gallows, seemed a decent talent for a big fella.

[Prophet]

From the WWE website ...

 

World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of WWE Superstars Shad Gaspard, Luke Gallows, Vance Archer and Caylen Croft and WWE Divas Tiffany and Jillian Hall as of November 19, 2010. WWE wishes them the best in all future endeavors

 

They killed the Dudebusters!

[Self]

From the WWE website ...

 

 

 

They killed the Dudebusters!

 

When the flame burns twice as bright, it burns half as long. I'll miss you, Dudebusters.

[PeterHilton]

I'm surprised my Shad and Gallows. Both guys had good size and I thought Gallows was very solid on the mic as a part of the SES and Shad always seemed more comfortable showing his personality than JTG.

[MattitudeV2]

From the WWE website ...

 

 

 

They killed the Dudebusters!

 

They wanted to push Barreta not Croft!

[MrCanada]

Dont really get some of the releases. This reminds me of when WWE went and brought up Spears, Cabana, Braddock, ext didnt even give them a chance to get over then fired them.

 

Although these guys (especially the Dudebusters) were really starting to show promise.

 

And I guess my dreams of a Archer & Gallows team called The Executioners (get it?) will never come true. Seems like such a simple and natural fit.

 

Shad, Tiffany, and Jillian could care less about.

 

Dont undertstand Gallows, Archer, and Croft though. Especially with FCW sucking pretty hard right now outside of a very select few guys. And even those select few guys are only as good as the guys released.
