Man, TNA's possibly just flatlined and WWE's signed Devitt? Man, hell must've frozen over! It really is a tale of two companies. As lackluster as WWE is, they can still generate excitement and the appearance of a positive outlook. Steen to go! And... I think Willie Mack, too? This has been an awesome summer for signings.

I'm not as excited, they'll have him learn that 'WWE Style' and turn him into the usual brand of what they think a wrestler should be. He's done it all around the world from the UK to Japan to Mexico and of course Ireland. As for KENTA he devoted the best years of his career to NOAH and is way past his best. DOn't blame them, but I'm not buying the hype.

Who names their kid Fergal? The kind of people that named another kid Sheamus. Are people forgetting that he's Irish?

Injured, Took a hike, Awfully misused, Really don't care for him these days, One of their only interesting characters. I'm not a fan of the style, as you can pin point when matches end a lot of the time or when a wrestler kicks out of a move.

Can't wait to see his dreamcast/tornado kick in a WWE ring. Such a beautiful move Absolutely over the moon. So excited for this, words dont do it justice. This. All that is left is STEEN (and to a lesser extent Mack). Spectacular, just spectacular

Buck up, kid. It only gets better.

woohoo - using my 5000th post to celebrate the signing of another Irish guy. que JBL - "this guy loves to fight maggle, he fights in the temple bar after a few pints of guinness that cost a lot of euros - when he's not fighting he supports leinster rugby and loves listening to Bono."

That's neat, I didn't think he'd get an article.
Hope he has a good run, I'm a huge fan.

I'm not a fan of the style, as you can pin point when matches end a lot of the time or when a wrestler kicks out of a move. I, to the contrary, am, because once a moveset is established, it adds a variety of pillars to a match that can be played with any which way. A matter of taste, so it's not a biggy. My point remains, regardless of their current circumstances, they retain or retained significant main rosters spots to varying degrees of success, despite having to somewhat reconfigure their styles. woohoo - using my 5000th post to celebrate the signing of another Irish guy. que JBL - "this guy loves to fight maggle, he fights in the temple bar after a few pints of guinness that cost a lot of euros - when he's not fighting he supports leinster rugby and loves listening to Bono." Considering Devitt has never relied on his nationality at any point on the indies, whereas Sheamus heavily used the 'Celtic Warrior' shtick to get signed and they recently jettisoned Becky Lynch's 'Oirish' elements, I'm cautiously optimistic that the 'E are content to leave Sheamus as the sole representative stereotype and Devitt might actually get a crack at developing a character.

Sign a deal with Marvel and have him promote their characters with his body paints. Boom, awesome advertising.

I won't lie, I had no idea who he is so I Googled him. First row of images. So yeah, he's already great. But, how is he locking in the camel clutch though?

Bring Warrior back into the fold. Retooling NXT and the developmental system. Working with Sting. Hiring indy and international standouts. Makes up for his initial missteps.
