Here's hoping he doesn't become "Bulk Stanley" or some fat sounding name and given an entrance theme that sounds like an emo rock version of Bulk and Skull's Power Rangers theme.

Ok, now I want this.

Awesome. Congrats to him. Plus cageking666 has a new bear.

I am not looking forward to JBL, King and Maggle's 9329348 fat jokes.

SQUEE!!!!

I'm so torn now, because Bulk Stanley is such a fantastic name.

[anticonscience]

I love the smug look Triple H has on his face here after signing an IWC hero.

I expect a letter to arrive at the dirtsheets any day now made up of cut up WWE magazines saying, "I have your Kevin Steen and if you ever want to see him again, it'll cost you $9.99"

I like the name Bulk Stanley, but only if they pull some kind of bizarre "Billy Gibbons on Bones" thing where it's casually revealed that he's Paul Stanley's son or nephew or something.

Bonus points if he starts wrestling in Star Child makeup.

[Wailing Fungus]

Sweet. And just because (from the WWE.com interview):

WWE.COM: Changing topics slightly, are you excited about the fact that touring with WWE could broaden your access to zoos?

STEEN: Zeus?!

WWE.COM: Well, maybe him too, but no, zoos.

[Society of the Spectacle]

It's weird that they mention the package piledriver right away in the interview....Is it possible that he proved to Vince/Hunter that he's safe with it? That would be pretty insane.

Side note: Has anyone ever heard of him injuring anyone with it?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Are we sure NXT isn't stockpiling guys for their own shot at a Monday Night War? Because F***ING HELL their roster is getting loaded.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

I could've sworn he told he was going to Mexico, why did he lied to us? It's nice he got put over before he has even wrestle, makes him look like a big deal right out of the bat. It's never going to happen but I want Necro Butcher to be in a similar photo with triple h

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

f***. NXT's like, going into overdrive here. At least now if they decide to send the current crop, like Breeze, Zayn and Neville, we'll have Devitt, KENTA and Steen to fill the awesome quota.

Shame it wasn't earlier, we could've had them on the My Career thing in 2k15!

[Frozen]

Good shit.

[Just call me D.j.m.]

So, NXT is pretty much the coolest promotion in the world now, huh?

A Thursday Night War Skirmish, to pretty much deliver the killing blow to TNA.

I know WWE.com is its own little world, but I do think that it's telling that all three of these recent hires have been introduced using their indie names. It makes me wonder if Triple H is starting to let these folks keep their names - after all, it's almost like you need to start from scratch when building stars from NXT, but if you let them keep at least their name, it gives them (and the fans) a jumping off point...

[Marty McFry]

For some reason the board won't let me post a comical picture of Wall Street traders hugging and high fiving. Please imagine one.

Eh they announced the Signing of Monty Brown on WWE.com with his real name and he showed up on the main shows with a new name.

So I wouldn't read too much into it.

Also...

Would suit Rybaxel more I think.

Also, I just want to point out that Steen moving from his Fight Steen Fight t-shirt to an NXT t-shirt feels so, so, right

[Pillman's Pencil]

If it wasn't for William Regal, I dread to think where NXT even some of the main WWE shows would be.
