I'd like to see how FCW would be, like, have Xavier Woods build to a mystery partner and bring in Lethal with him. It's too bad tag teams are dead in WWE and/or being in a tag teams leads to the end of your career, as Woods and Lethal would be great back together as a team

I'd love for him to come in.
He's a proven talent.
And they already have Consequences Creed.....reunion perhaps?

Just a guy who made a name for himself in a small-time fed ripping off a WWE gimmick. Honestly, if I had average wrestling ability and could do a decent Ultimate Warrior impression, I'd be a star in TNA. The only problem is that the gimmick isn't a "WWE gimmick." It belongs to Randy Savage himself. And it isn't a "rip-off" when it gets an endorsement from Savage himself. It was a tribute.

If they actually made use of him, sure. This, otherwise leave him on the Indies. I honestly fear the E will waste his talents, as TNA did.

How exactly should he pushed? I was think it's funny when people say "they won't use him right."
I think his best bet is sticking around the indies and hoping TNA signs him back someday. He'd be a good ROH guy.

It's one thing to have a gimmick that is perhaps heavily influenced by previous guys, but one that is so unashamedly unoriginal has to make you wonder whether someone actually has any talent as far as creating a character goes. Until Lethal does something else and makes it a success, he's just a one trick pony in my eyes, and the trick ain't even his.

I am wondering if signing a developmental deal with WWE counts under the 30 day no compete clause, because I know places like ROH are exceptions, just as long as they aren't on TV.

His impression was far from decent, it was uncanny. He was a solid wrestler to back it up as well. Honestly I thought Black Machismo stood on its own as a character after awhile. I REALLY thought the whole deal with Flair would have cemented him at the top. Yeah, but you know. You wouldn't get Chris Masters, floundering on Superstars, thinking to himself "I know, I'll do an AJ Styles gimmick". TNA are bush league, and have so much wrong with them it's not even funny. 99% of their roster would not get over in WWE. Look at how DBD is struggling - and I love him. Lethal would not be allowed to reprise that gimmick in WWE, and I don't think his wrestling ability is in any way outstanding enough to WWE to bust a gut to sign him. I don't really think Daniel Bryan is "struggling" at the moment. He's been in the WWE for only a year and has held a title for a long period of time and they always go to him to try and get a good match out of somebody. He'll be fine. I think Lethal is a decent wrestler and everything, but I'd rather see him with an actual gimmick. I was never a fan of the "act like another wrestler" gimmick and for me it made him and Shark Boy intolerable. I'd rather see a guy like Ryder (who has legit charisma other than just doing an impression of another wrestler) get pushed or maybe a guy like Tyson Kidd. They have way too many talented guys who aren't getting a proper chance to go sign some guy who's decent at best.

He'd be a good ROH guy. Considering Lethal's talent for imitation, he could really be booked as anything. The guy can do a great Flair imitation - so he has all the tools to do a playboy heel gimmick. He made his name on a Macho Man impersonation - so he has the energy to work a flamboyant babyface gimmick. He has the selling and the offensive variety to work a great plucky face. Honestly, Lethal is versatile enough that he could be pushed a bunch of different ways.

Yes the guy is way too much of a talent to pass up on. TNA dropped the ball on him big time. Even though I know WWE wouldn't use him right either.

Wow, I'm surprised to see so much love for the Lethal Consequences tag team. I always considered them a forgettable makeshift team that ran its course.
As for Lethal, I'd like to see him get a chance in the WWE. I was never a huge fan of his but I saw he had talent and could get the people behind him.

As long as they call him Jim Injurious.

After seeing the WWE runs of Kazarian, Monty Brown, Wildcat Chris Harris, Lance Hoyt, and Low-Ki/Senshi, I don't think he has much of a shot just because he is a former TNA talent. The only reason R-Truth has gotten a fair chance is because he was previously in WWE years before as K-Kwik.

I really think he is. Since losing the US title, the signs all point to him being put in a similar spot to Evan Bourne, i.e. a guy they will use to make the guys they actually want to push look good.
You can say that because of that, both guys will be guaranteed a job because of that ability, but they will never break the glass ceiling and be stars themselves. I'd love to see them both get big pushes, but at the moment I just don't have faith in the booking. I'd love to see things change, but I'm feeling all pessimistic about it at the moment.
