Did I read that Amazing Red worked a dark match vs. CM Punk before SD tapings tonight? Can anybody confirm this? I think Red would be an AWESOME addition to SD.

Yeah, he worked a dark match. I don't know if anything will come out of it. I think it was just a one time deal. Of course, he maybe could've impressed them enough to get signed.

doubt he would be signed by just one match. They may decide to take a closer look at him though. Honestly, unless they start to take the cruiserweight division seriously, then Red should stay away. Unless I'm mistaken, he's actually smaller than Rey Mysterio.

Yeah, Red's quite tiny.
I'm interested in seeing some of Red's more recent work; he really wasn't himself for most of 2004, since he came back too early from his knee surgery. If he's anywhere near back to his 2002-2003 form, that'd be fantastic.

I'd like to see Red sometime. It's too bad he's not that good after his surgery, unless he got better, or something.

Amazing Red?!?!?!?!?!?!?!(llzor.)
Whoa. Who'd-a thunk, eh? I guess the smarks really are taking over, what with a Guererro/Mysterio fued getting more screen time than John/John, a delightful OVW tag team talent (Plus a diva search reject. Oh well.) become tag champs, an ECW revival, and the signing of Super Crazy, Psicosis and possibly Juvi Guererra.
To that, I RAISE MY ALMIGHTY CUP O' BREW TO THE MEN, WOMEN AND TRANSGENDERS ALL ACROSS THE INTERNET THAT HAVE HELPED THIS HAPPEN.

OK, I'll shut up and die, now.

well, since red ain't as good as he was back in his roh and early tna days, maybe it'll be toned down enough for wwe standards. But i don't really think Red's needed, he's too much like Mysterio, and yes, i know he looks up to mysterio with his little 619 too. But Mysterio's all the smallest underdog they need. Although i would love to see a red vs. mysterio match, imagine if it were the old roh red vs. the wcw mysterio.

Mysterio started using, I believe its called the Infrared (sunset flip powerbomb thing). So in exchange, Red used the 619. Although I'm sure Red looks up to Mysterio, as probably a lot of smaller wrestlers do.

He could be the heel version of Mysterio....and I think alot of wrestlers, esp. the smaller ones, but just about everyone respects Mysterio. Hell he's been in the ring since his "Colibri" days at 14....but it would be awesome to see Red there and since he'd have to tone it down apparently he's in working condition. Then we can see later on down the road Nitro vs Red to see who has the best Red star......

I managed to download "The Matrix Minute" (Red vs. Lo-Ki) before WrestlingEncyclopedia.com took it down. If you haven't seen it, it can be easily summed up with Steve Corino's call at the end of the exchange: "Holy 'Crouching-Tiger-Hidden-Dragon'! What in the damn hell was that?!?"  |

Yeah, he is pretty small. Here he is next to Eddie, for comparison:  I have a feeling that if he were to be in WWE, they'd book him in a "comedy squash" against Big Show or soemthing. He's probably better off in the indies. |

Red's wrestling weight is 147 lbs, if he was to sign with the WWE he would be used as a Bump Monkey like most of the Cruisers.

Meh. I saw "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher using the sunset flip powerbomb in 1995. Mike Awesome did it to "FUNB" Terry Bollea (oh god) in the later WCW days, too. I seriously doubt Mysterio started using that move because of Red.

I seriously doubt Mysterio started using that move because of Red. It's not an exact Sunset power bomb......it's more like the Canadian Destroyer but from Sunset position, just a few degrees shy of a Destroyer. I would mark the Hell out if Hogan ever did that move...... |

Fair enough, but I still refuse to believe that Rey Misterio Jr. stole anything from the book of someone like The f***ing Amazing Red. That guy sucks. I mean... look at him.

You were right there!
I think that even though Red is smaller than Rey Rey he is quicker, more agile and has a bigger move set than Rey does. I think he would be awesome for the cw division as long as he didnt wrestle outside of it.

He could be the heel version of Mysterio.... He'll need to wear a mask then. His 14 Year old Acne Ridden face and Orphan Annie Afro are not a good look |
