Not a huge fan of his, but I don't see any harm in throwing him a developmental deal and seeing if the staff down there can help him when it comes to showing some personality out there. Seems like a pretty low risk gamble to take.

If he's related to HBK, he's in. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if he's somehow involved in whatevers happening between Shawn and Batista.

Ah good. Instead of a generic vanilla hoss, we get a generic vanilla wannabe-HBK cruiserweight

Why does he need a trial? There is a ton of footage of him working around and people who have worked with him. Can`t they just decide on that basis?

May as well. Didn't he have to rename it because of the Shane Twins (Gymini) a few years ago?

Actually i don't see that as a problem. Bently was never a real "indy" guy to begin with. He is a bit small, but who knows. I don't think changing styles will be a huge problem.

WWE style..... dude pretty much wrestles the same way as his uncle/cousin/ however he and HBK are related. I just don't see him getting in. When his name was always popping up (same time as guys like London,Sabin,and Red were getting popular) he went to TNA and was pushed because he was HBK's relative. He tried to leave to go to WWE a couple years ago, but Vince didn't want him so he want back to TNA. I think the WWE wants to sign a Shawn Michaels student, but not Bentley. (pretty easy guess on who it is)

Oh I know, but that is why they send guys to tryouts to see if they are capable of doing it, he has no problems there.

Plus, trials may be a way to develop his character, not so much his skill.
He could get a new name, gimmick, moveset etc.

I agree with all these points. I was just playing devils advocate, and it always kind of baffles me that WWE likes to erase and generic-ise every guy who comes work for them.

Even better, play up his relationship to Shawn and call him Shane Michaels. BTW, he had a WWE developmental deal years ago when HBK still had his school, but he was released.
