It appears that the WWE has decided to have former NWA-TNA superstar and newest signee Monty Brown debut on the house show circut when the WWE heads down to New Zealand next month. Brown is mentioned under the list of ECW superstars that will be making appearances at the shows.
If this is a sign to come, it probably is a smart move to have Brown start off on ECW due to the fact that their talent roster is so thin at the moment and they could always use another big name superstar to get involved with the top feuds. Also, it would help Brown get used to the WWE's way of working and maybe help him improve on his in-ring skills and promo work before management moved him to either Raw or Smackdown.
As far as those New Zealand shows go, there are a few names missing from the ECW brand that will not be attending the tour. Obviously, The Great Khali has been removed since he made the jump to Raw. However, while Daivari isn't listed on the roster either, one has to wonder if he was sent to Raw with Khali as well since we never saw him on Raw last week during Khali's debut. Mike Knoxx and Test are also not listed to work the tour, but no reason is given as to why they are staying behind.
Sylvester Terkay, Elijah Burke and Trinity are listed as part of the talent pool for the shows so you can expect them to be there if you're planning on going to the shows.

No offense but, is there a source for this? Last I read he was going to healing a knee injury until around Wrestlemania.

As for Daivari, rumors on the Internets have him going to Smackdown, I think.

I think if you got Daivari to come out to "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf and have him start using the Magic Carpet during his finisher again, it just might work. |

They don't usually send 100% of their rosters overseas. Just enough to fill out the card. So someone being omitted from the list there means nothing.
But yeah, Daivari is rumored to jump to Smackdown, but who knows if he will. Monty was rumored to be on Raw, Snitsky is rumored to jump to ECW, hell Roadkill was supposed to be on Raw by now... things can change quickly, if they were ever true to begin with.

Thanks, seems weird to have him debut there (if he does debut on ECW and is not there just for the tour) but, then again ECW was meant to be a nationwide developmental league so this is probably, like was said, a place for him to settle into his WWE gimmick and style while working off 3 or 4 months of ring rust. |

Damnit, I read about this on Pro Wrestling Mania, but I was hoping it to be incorrect. Sadly, my fears seem to have come alive. I was really looking forward to him being on RAW. I had hoped they could (or at least attempt to) morph into a stella' heel. Of course, it's not going to happen, and he's ending up in ECW like some reject.
Not all that bad though, I guess. He could manage to get some really good momentum, then jump brands. Maybe...
Hopefully...

I was hoping for a huge debut and push on RAW. No one cares about ECW.

Well, this gives me a reason to possibly start watching ECW again.

I was hoping for a huge debut and push on RAW. No one cares about ECW. I care about ECW i watch the show, and he's a welcome addition to the brand. Though he probably would have been good on Smackdown or RAW, he's still developing a character. having him in ECW does good for him as he builds focus. IN ECW the roster is smaller and there is only one title so you get more focus and more challengers. This is the dillema though. Can we have 3 black dudes on one show? |

They could have him in ECW and put Lashley back on SD! or maybe on RAW. But I would love to see him on RAW.
