Larry Zbyszko has contacted WWE in hopes of landing a Legends deal and a commentary gig. No word as of yet if Vince McMahon is interested. Zbyszko is no longer affiliated with TNA because they didn't plan on using him anymore. Also, in late 2001, Zbyszko requested that WWE cease referring to Chris Jericho as "The Living Legend", claiming that this infringed upon his common law trademark. After WWE refused to comply, Zbyszko launched a lawsuit against WWE. In addition, he challenged McMahon to a shoot fight during the February 2002 World Wrestling All-Stars pay-per-view.
I guess moneys getting a little tight for the ol' Living Legend since he left TNA.

Vince will probably hire him so he can rub an oily fat man against him and shove worms in his mouth.

His bad acting and head bobbing remind me of those perpetual motion bird things that dip their beak in the water.

Since old Larry was a former AWA champion and the WWE now owns the AWA library, having Zbyszko gain a legends deal would be a right decision, but with the WWE reinventing history by saying that Jerry Lawler was the last AWA champion (Larry was) and Larry having harsh things to say about Vince about his short tenure with the WWE back in the early '80s may put the Living Legend's plans of joining the E on hold.
Although having him replace Tazz if Tazz doesn't resign would be better than having Buzzkill ruin the announcing in ECW.

I already know the answer. Absolutely no way anyone can blow harder than Tazz. |

I like Zybsko, but I wouldn't want to see him in the E if they're just going to spit in his face, I doubt I'd ever have anything to do with McMahon once I was retired, if he just wanted to feed me to some asshole heel to get them over

Never liked Zbyszko, as someone has said already, he is a poor actor and rather dull to listen to on the mic.
If he was given a job then i agree feeding him to Orton would be nice to see

I always liked him doing commentary in WCW only because he went out of his way to put over wrestlers like Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit, and didn't babble about the nWo during their matches.

I smell another Legend Killer segment. Hire him just for this... but in reality we all know it would lead to another addition to the "Kiss My Ass" club. |

I haven't like Zybisko since the remark he made about Louie Spicoli the day after he died What did he say exactly? |

Was he responsible for the Spicoli thing? I know he said it, but was it his idea?
