I'm so glad they didn't flat out fire McIntyre or DH. Both are great young wrestlers. I haven't seen as much of Escobar or SOS, but from what I have done they appear to be decent. I think SOS feuding with Finlay would be great. And all the black guys should feud with each other too. And William Regal and Paul Burchill should feud again. And we should bring in a second, evil, Jamaican for Kofi to tangle with. Maybe a face Russian for Kozlov? A civilized Samoan for Umaga?

This is pretty surprising. Usually, WWE tends to bring up the least talented to push, and the most talented get stuck in developmental, or get buried (Jay Bradley, Shawn Spears, Colt Cabana). All 4 are very talented. I think WWE may also want to get some strong UK stars for when they go overseas. Burchill isn't as over, but recently, showed that, with enough time, can get a crowd into his match (it was dead for most of his match with Evan Bourne, but picked up well at the end).
DH Smith will go to ECW to team with Tyson Kidd, Eric Escobar will go to Smackdown, where he's been doing tours recently, Drew will go to Raw, and Shemaus may feud with Finlay on ECW.

No need for the sarcasm.

It's hard to believe Eric Perez is still employed, much less about to be called up. He's been around since at least 2005 that I can recall. They NEVER let developmental talent stick around that long without either calling them up, just giving up and bringing them in to be a jobber and then firing them, or releasing them before they get to TV. But I'm happy he is finally on his way. Yeah, Perez, along with The Miz, Jesse and Festus, Khali, and MVP are the ONLY regulars from the early DSW days that are still around and kicking on the WWE scene that I regularly notice. Everyone else, like Kid Kash, Johnny Swinger, Angel Williams, Shantelle Taylor, all gone. Hopefully, Perez manages to make it a hit for himself. Instead of firing Manu, the perfect way for him to get revenge on Legacy would have been to bring in Perez, Sonny Siaki, and G-Rilla. Urban Assault = Ratings!

I only know DH Smith there but only Sheamus stands out visually. In fact Drew McIntyre reminds me of an old school mate who was a dick.
The others just look generic. Albeit I don't know their gimmicks but yeah...

Whatever happened to G-Rilla, anyways? Before DSW shut down, he was REALLY coming along as a charismatic big man. He wasn't a great wrestler, but he had a very "Dusty-like" charisma on the stick.

I've not had the best of days today. I'm not normally one to go for the "they should feud cos they're from the same place!" mentality, but Finlay/Shaemus I think I'd genuinely enjoy.

Shaemus has the best look by far. Not having seem him wrestle before, purely on looks he has a better chance than the other three, but hey, that might be my misinformed opinion

Hopefully, all the guys hit it off.

Drew kinda looks like Kendrick, could put them together as a tag team.

I saw Escobar wrestle at a house show here in College Station last month. They had him face Khali though. Not exactly the best guy to showcase your talent against.

Well after there match on ECW anyone else thinking next week Finaly/Kidd will have a rematch and both SOS & Smith will interfere, thus setting up a tag match with Finlay/SOS vs. Smith/Kidd or SOS with cost Finlay the match or Smith will cost Kidd?

Well DH is a second generation star so I doubt they would release him.

Isn't DH Smith just a lousy druggie? Why even give him another chance?
