PWInsider is reporting that WWE will be giving former TNA talent Gran Apollo a tryout down in Ohio Valley Wrestling. Gran Apollo was involved with TNA from day one and during his run held the NWA World Tag Team Championship with D'Lo Brown. He mostly wrestles in Puerto Rico for IWA where he was a seven-time World Heavyweight Champion.

Apolo? Wife Abusing Apolo? Taking Bail from a company and being rearrested in the same day Apolo?
Just.
Say.
No.

Apollo was actually a WWE developmental guy before he was a TNA guy. If he didn't get signed years ago, I don't see him getting signed now.

No wonder they're giving him a shot. Same reason they hired Kahli after he broke a guys neck in the ring... because WWE sucks. No you cant do a 450 Splash or a shooting star press... much to dangerous. But hey lets hire guys who have mortally wounded people. STUPID WWE! (sorry just a little bitter) |

They want something for Carlito to do, plain and simple.

It amazes me that whenever WWE tries to sign anyone who was in TNA they manage to get the most useless guys.

Well, honestly, they scored HUGE with Monty Brown, but of course, forces outside of wrestling f***ed that up and took precedence in his life. But aside from him, who else have they really taken from TNA? I can think of Cassidy Reilly right off the top of my head, but other than him, I can't put a face to anyone. |

But yeah, honestly, I didn't even know the Naturals got tryouts. Aside from Brown and (In my own opinion) Siaki, they do tend to get the scrubs, apparently |

They also had signed Frankie "Kaz" Kazarian for awhile, and Kid Kash.

Yeah, but can you really call Kid Kash a TNA talent? Kaz, though, I definitely agree with. I don't really remember this Apollo dude, was he ever paired with Siaki?

I believe he was at some point, but I can't honestly confirm it 100%. He teamed with D'Lo Brown for a while, both under a mask as El Leon and as himself, and was one of the original LAX members. |
