So freaking HAPPY right now! I have been screaming for this to happen for the past several years. Every week while watching ROH on HDNet, I used to IM Reflecto and ask one question: when was WWE going to come calling for Steen? I'm sure he got plenty sick of me asking every week. |

This is one I am kinda unsure on. I love Steen but am curious to see how he'll adapt to WWE. He's great but he also seems to be everything that WWE isn't, that could be a blessing though. Did hear that he'll get a new name, so I cannot wait to see what they come up with.
Did see that tweet from Ricardo, guess that he wasn't happy with Hunter not being happy him after Takeover.
Just couple of notes:
MORE ON KEVIN STEEN SIGNING WITH WWE
by Mike Johnson @ 10:46 AM on 8/12/2014
Kevin Steen officially signed with WWE a few weeks ago after passing his medical testing in June, according to a WWE source.
The photo making the rounds that Triple H posted was shot a few months back.
Steen has not yet reported to Orlando, but will by September. As I discussed on my Elite hotline today, there are expected to be some other talents signed and reporting by that time period.

HHH: We've come up with some names for you. This is the top 10. Number 10: Pants Loudly. Number 9: Luke Swinded Number 8... Steen: These are all fat jokes aren't they? HHH: No....Number 8: Lord Tonsafun. Number 7: Moe Cardio. Number 6: Fatty Zayn Steen: *sigh* I'll just take that one. HHH: No no no, we have 5 more to go. Number Five: Claude Doublechin. Number Four: Del Taco. Number Three: Guy Rotund. Number Two.............. Steen: Well? What's Number Two? HHH: That was the name....Number Two *clears throat* and the number one name we've come up with: "Big" Mac Whopper ...I kind of like "Big" Mac Whopper. He's not fat. He's cultivating mass... |

The surreality of Steen's signing and seeing that pic of him and HHH makes me believe Colt will make it.

After a truly terrible start to today learning about the tragedy of Robin Williams death, this and seeing GOTG finally (that lived up and surpassed the hype i heard for it) with a couple of great mates really helped me through.
I can't exprress how happy I am about this news, and hopefully these top signings will continue into the future. The have earned the break, so they should get it and I like how Trips has taken on that mindset.

That can't be the real Steen. He's down in Mexico stopping Generico from eating all the orphans.
Either way, I 'm very happy for this dopleganger.

What's so great about Steen? I don't follow RoH so I honestly don't know who this cat is. He looks alot like one of the baby daddies from Teen Mom, to be honest.  Is he a legit, incredible wrestler? Somebody link me to something that will convince me, please? |

Steen vs Bull Dempsey will be the greatest rivalry in the history of our sport culminating in the return of Scott Steiner.

We don't need Bull Dempsey anymore now that we have his non union Canadian equivalent. Yes Bull is more of a Steen Lite all the fat none of the talent or charisma I find the use of the word "Lite" hilarious. |

Steen is pretty damn handsome in that gruff kind of way so I hope they don't go cracking jokes about how he looks. I also hope that he stays in NXT for a long time.

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. Well now I actually want to see that! |
