HOW WWE DEVELOPMENTAL TALENTS FARED WITH THEIR RECENT MAIN ROSTER VISITS by Mike Johnson @ 9:29 AM on 1/4/2012
Several top WWE developmental talents recently worked tours for the main WWE roster.
I was told that FCW champion Leo Kruger was given solid marks for his pre-match mic work, putting himself over as the top African athlete while working heel. The feeling was that he needs to project more in the ring to connect with the audience but his look was very good.
Seth Rollins was given high marks for his work inside the ring. Rollins was praised a lot for matches he had with Tyson Kidd on the road and for his selling as a babyface.
Dean Ambrose was viewed quite highly by management, both in how he worked, how he conducted himself backstage and with his pre-match mic work. The talk was that if the company could find the right role for him, his gravely voice and delivery could translate well.

I'm really curious as to what they do with Ambrose. His mannerisms and subtlety are terrific, but I wonder if it's enough to get over with a mainstream audience without a more blatant hook.

I don't see why they don't just give him a Roddy Piper shit-stirrer sort of role. It's practically made for him. Or Pillman.

Be on the look out for Dean Ambrose: Psychotic Used Car Salesman.

Ambrose reminds me a lot of Roddy Piper when Roddy Piper was the top heel in the 80s.

I can totally see Ambrose with a Pillman-esque gimmick, Seth Rollins as the new Jeff Hardy or John Morrison the guys can respect his athleticism and skills and the women can like his good looks. I would love for Xavier Woods and Richie Steamboat to be called up

Only thing I'm scared about is Ambrose, is not getting built up. I remember watching a YouTube clip of his entrance on that house show where he wrestled dat supahhero D-Bry, and the person filming was talking about how Dean reminded him of Eugene.. That kind of thing worries me.

I could see Ambrose being an associate of Cody Rhodes at some point. Insane people stick together.

Be on the look out for Dean Ambrose: Psychotic Used Car Salesman. Hey. Cobra Commander was a Psychotic Used Car Salesman. I'd mark if they give Ambrose a Cobra Commander gimmick. Can he do the high-pitched voice if he tries hard enough?

I agree with those who say that Ambrose should have a Loose Cannon 2.0 gimmick. I think he's got what it takes to pull it off.

I'd like Ambrose and Rollins both on the roster, but first I wanna know what the hell is going on with Naomi. Shes done the house show circuit twice now, and even ended up in the European tour program. She's more talented than most of the divas, just as good looking but they've brought all her NXT competitors to the main roster while she's still in FCW. What gives?

Just imagine if they make him a crazy redneck and re sign Trevor Murdoch and make a hillbilly tag team
