From 411mania.com/wrestling:
Another Puerto Rican wrestler going to the big leagues.
The following was posted in the LuchaLibreOnline.com website, the biggest and most reliable Puerto Rico wrestling site:
It was come to our attention that German Figueroa, better known as Apolo, has recently signed a deal with the WWE and will be reporting to Florida Championship Wrestling at the beginning of next year. Apolo worked in TNA during it's beginning, is a former NWA World Tag Team Champion with D'lo Brown and was part of the original incarnation of LAX. He also works for IWA Puerto Rico and worked for World Wrestling Council, Planet Championship Wrestling in Florida and several other promotions in his career.

He`s the dude who broke Scott Steiners throat and nearly ended his career. Vince may well like that ;D

*Awaits news of Apolo no-showing everything, and being replaced by Machete* So we've got no-showing events, injuring Scott Steiner, missing a child support payment, and domestic abuse as a list of his his fine qualities. Did we miss any? |

I'm really surprised WWE signed him, since they already have a similar style wrestler in development. I don't see him getting onto TV, and I'd be really surprised if he did.

He also teamed with Sonny Siaki, most notably in that Lockdown match that eventually took Chris Candido's life.

I remember him being the weak link in LAX. Can't say I'm too excited about this. :/

UGH!
If they're looking to sign an ex-TNA guy they should sign Ron Killings. I don't see why WWE isn't trying to sign Killings right now if he doesn't have a no-compete clause.

I don't know about that, I think he fills a real void. We all know that if there's one thing WWE's developmental system has a shortage of, it's large, boring hosses with tattoos. |
