WWE SIGNS ROH REGULAR, FORMER TNA STAR TO DEALS
by Mike Johnson @ 6:05:00 PM on 1/18/2007
World Wrestling Entertainment offered developmental deals to former TNA star Cassidy Riley (who appeared on ECW, losing to Marquis Cor Von this past Tuesday) and Ring of Honor regular Ace Steel. Steel appeared as "Donald Trump" on Monday Night Raw a few weeks back and has also done tours of Pro Wrestling NOAH. I've heard both have accepted the offers. No word yet on what developmental territory they'll be sent to at this point.

WWE had to release a dozen guys to make room for "The Donald" Ace Steel's big salary.

Why does PWI keep pointing out that Ace Steel played Donald Trump in that segment? Are they trying to ruin his career? They'll Red Rooster him if they're not careful.

After all the guys they've gotten rid off they need new jobbers.

Somewhere Jake Gymini is putting on a blonde wig and shouting "I COULDA BEEN TRUMP!"
But he couldn't. The poor, poor misguided human being...

They offered them both so much money, they had to unload 11 people to make room for them  But good for them, they are both deserving of spots IMO. |

Well, we'll miss Crazy Ace and his Blues Brothers music back in ROH, but hopefully he gets to work with his boy Punk at some point. That'd be a great story.
But yeah, Ace is signed...but Colt is STILL neglected?

i dont really know how these things work, but i dont think that Steel needs development, he's been wrestling for a long long time. Harry Smith and Monty Brown have had less in ring time, and they didnt touch development.

STEEL?! SOMEBODY'S GONNA DIIIIIIIIIIE.

Now, Colt Cabana is the only one left.
And then the Second City Saints will take over WWECW!!!

Ace Steel and Cassidy Riley are both awesome. I heard Riley was leaving the buissness glad this isnt the case. Then again it was at pwi I head that.

Ace Steel going to WWE is nothing but a good thing.
- he gets paid well and will probably get to be on the road again with Punk
- his mediocrity stays away from ROH

1 step closer to Colt, one step closer to A SCS reunion. If Cabana isn't in the E by the end of the year, I'll eat a shoe
