I'll never understand why people like Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and The Rock were thrown on TV so young and green, yet it takes forever for them to put Harry Smith, Joe Hennig, and Dibiase Jr. on our television sets. Joe just started training in MLW this year. Ted and Mike DiBiase were just signed this year. For Harry was more of them wanting him to get used to the style and then be put on TV. They have huge things in store for him as that's how most of the guys who main event start, |

Cody's young, but he's not really all that green, all things considered. I don't think I can think of a specific instance of him botching. |

The guys in good shape, far more built than Cody. I just hope he shares the Hennig gene, and is half way as good as his genius of a father.

Both wrestlers that faced Jesse and Festus last night were trained by Harley Race. When I met Harley Race and Tony Atlas today they mentioned that Harley was training Joe Hennig. Atlas said that Joe is a lot like Curt. I hope Tony Atlas told Hennig what "the office" wanted  |

I really think they should push them on there own accord,not as the son of wrestler past. It'll leave them with a stigma as just "Mr Perfects kid" etc. I'm not saying ignore it all together but don't give them the same gimmick there dad had.

Cody is in EXCELLENT shape seriously the dude is pretty ripped even though he's a cruiserweight he's in great shape. Hennig is just a bigger dude, he's not got defined muscle mass, and IMO he needs to get in better shape to be on WWE TV. Right now he's like a larger shane hagadorn i did like his oversell of that leg hit..that's the only thing he did in the match, but it worked. |

No idea if he's signed or not, but if he's even half as good as his father, he'll be great. I saw him on youtube in his first match ever after only like 3 months of training, as green as you can possibly be, and he was teaming up with Ted debiase jr. He was great. He was wearing the old Kurt Hennig tights from the old AWA days, and he reminds me so much of Arn Anderson that it's not even funny. He'll make a name for himself, no doubt. |

Well, his dad was the king of the oversell himself, so it fits him. |

Joe's selling certainly reminds me of his father. Hope he gets a little more seasoned, and brought in.
I love his story of wanting to wrestle after seeing his father's HOF induction ceremony, and having approached Shane McMahon about how to enter the business.

He should be Joe Perfect, a shlub character who thinks he's perfect but is really just a bumbling clutz.
