I could watch this post all day. Anyways, I hope they give Davey the deaf balloon salesman gimmick that was rumored for Punk. I would laugh mightily.

Davey Richard Vs. Brock Lesnar would be a fun match to watch Both like the kimura and both botch a shooting star press. Its destiny, and not that sucky Alberto Del Rio kind either.

Cole is pretty much the closest equivalent to an early HBK Shawn Michaels as there is in wrestling and he's still got plenty of upside left to explore, and still improving like mad. I'd be pumped to see him get a legit chance at the WWE. I think he could easily become an underdog babyface or pretty boy heel that could at least achieve mid-card success in the company, given the proper treatment.
Richards...pass. Only reason I'd like to see him in the company is to book him against Brock and inform Brock of everything Richards has said and show him how "legit" he is as far as MMA goes. Even with his health issues, I see it lasting all of a few seconds before Brock destroys Davey. Unlike guys like Kendrick, London, Punk, and Kaval, there is no real upside to Richards in spite of a bad attitude. With the others, their attitudes were questionable but they each had skills that made it worth it, in my opinion.

Adam Cole in WWE as "The Panama City Playboy" will be WWE champion at some point in his career. Mark my words. Cole has arguably the most upside of anyone in this newer class of indie wrestlers. He's an excellent worker, has incredible mic skills, and just has that same aura of "it" that someone like Punk has.

Remember when Davey almost killed Paul London last weekend and then didn't bother to end the match when it was blatantly obvious that he was concussed?

Hasn't this been the rumour for like the past two months? Throw in Sami Callihan and you can bump it up to three months.

If I were London, I'd have Kidman'ed Davey with his shooting star press later on. That's also one of many reasons why I'm not a professional wrestler.

I don't like Richards, but what's the worst that could happen there? He smarts up, we get decent matches out of him. He tries to pull the same shit he does on the indies, he gets kicked out a la Teddy Hart. Nothing big there. Exactly. Like yeah Richards is a douchebag so I understand hating to see him be successful but the fact is if he continues his douchebag ways he won't even make it through NXT. And he's still a good wrestler and his negatives as a wrestler will be trained out of him by the WWE since they are probably the only people with the power to be like "you gotta change" and he will listen so he can get the dolla dolla that goes with being on the main roster.

If he does get signed Vince will view it as revenge on London for the whole smiling incident. And off topic but I am happy to see the return of London both in PWG/ROH. He has lost weight and seems really motivated again, I want him back for PWG full time and for every show.

With Adam Cole, it's a case of WHEN, not if, he gets picked up. He's young, good looking, solid on the mic, and is really good in the ring. He pretty much fits the bill of everything WWE could look for in a talent.
As far as Davey goes...Eh. Honestly, he's a guy that could actually benefit from learning the WWE TV style and realizing that less really is more sometimes.

Davey Richards I assume will have a run similar to Kaval.

I never enjoyed Richards more than I did in the No Remorse Corps as an angry, but downtrodden by his friends, heel. A guy who could kick your head in and flip fans off but also sadly asked girls if they wanted to stay and watch the bags with him. He was perfectly hatable and loveable at the same time. YES! ABSOLUTELY YES! And don't forget making his appearance in those days and going straight for the ring attendant at a random corner guardrail at ringside and shoving him to the floor so he could stand up on the rail basking in glory. Something subtle and very minor, but it was such a markworthy part of his gimmick to me to make sure he'd go to the ringside guy's corner to do it rather than any of the other available and unoccupied corners. And it was always a different corner each time. I haven't ROH road-tripped in quite a while, but I have to say that general era was some of the best wrestling experiences I've been a part of.

Except for the fact that it was a complete accident which neither guy was at fault for, the match ended a couple minutes later anyway, and we have no way of knowing who's decision it was to continue the match. As for the news, it's blatantly, obviously false.

I laugh more at wrestlingnewsworld.com than anything that is actually being talked about in this post? Does anyone actually go to that site? Every time I follow a link there I am just like who does this guy think he is? The guy who runs it is truly delusional and thinks he is bigger than Dave Meltzer. Just a complete mark for himself and I have no idea why he feels that way.

Jay Briscoe today tweeted that he'd shoot anybody who told his kids gay marriage was okay. They wouldn't last a week.

I find it funny how some want Davey "From the Navy" Richards Kaval'd. I remember how this board raged when Kaval was jobbing & later fired.
Also I read on PWTorch that Sami Callihan and Samuray Del Sol are currently going through WWE pre-medical screening.

rumors I've heard are that the only reason Cole isn't signed right now is he's booked pretty far in advanced for a couple promotions and WWE wants him to finish off his bookings
