-As reported earlier, former TNA wrestler Lance Hoyt is going under the name Lance Archer in Florida Championship Wrestling. A member of creative found out about the name change and has suggested he do some sort of Robin Hood gimmick in developmental, reports The Sun.
WWE Creative: Yes, we are that stupid.

Sadly, since Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is over 10 years old, it'll probably last longer than Pirate Paul Burchill did.

There was a character in the recent Robin Hood series that was called Archer.

You know that thread about what it would take for WWE to get a 10.0 rating? Well... + That would get you your 10.0 rating right there.

Why does WWE get the worst talent out of TNA.
R Truth Lance Hoyt Jeff Hardy (Granted he sells merchandise)
The only all around good talent is Gail Kim and Christian IMO

Actually, it could be timely, as there's a new Robin Hood movie coming out starring Russell Crowe ... It's set for release in 2010, according to IMDB : www.imdb.com/title/tt0955308/

If he grows a little Errol Flynn beard and wears a hat with a feather in it and that... and if his finisher is a Bow and Arrow Lock, then I'm all for it.

Technically, Hardy & Christian were WWE/F talent long before they were with TNA. I guess the same could be said with R-Truth, but he sucked then, and he sucks now. What's up? Certainly not your career.

Now guys. Paul the Pirate sounded like a stupid idea. SuperHero Helms sounded like a stupid idea. A wrestling zombie sounded like a stupid idea.
How about we give this a go? That's if it is even true.

poor guy is never gonna get over with that gimmick I bet this sounds like a dumb idea too : "So here's my idea for a gimmick for this big tall bulky wrestler we have coming in. He's going to be a dead man. He'll be pale, walk real slow, roll his eyes in the back of his head, show no emotion, and sit up like Frankenstein does out of a coffin. Oh and he'll get power from an urn."Granted do I think "Lance Archer" is gonna' get over, no, but I won't knock it till I see it, because on paper anything can be stupid.

I honestly hope they don't go down this route. He won't have a chance if he has a Robin Hood gimmick.

I bet you whoever got that stupid deadman gimmick must have been let go a couple of months after his debut. What a stupid gimmick.

They should team him up with Cryme Tyme, and he can be Robbin In The Hood!

Maybe it's a Green Arrow sort of deal where he's a free-wheeling hippy, ticking off people like Swagger.
