He was the FCW GM before being called up. I have not seen him wrestle yet, lets hope he is actually good.
Sheamus is one person I have liked for some time, I have expressed it on B/R in the past. He was doing house shows and dark matches for the past few weeks. He is really the crown jewel of the new superstars we are going to see.
He really doesn't have as much of a deep Irish accent as we saw on ECW, he has spoken better on FCW in the past. He is very technical too, and is not one to make mistakes in the ring.
He has shown deadly submissions in the past, and as we all saw, he has a lot of moves that are very impressive, especially that finisher.
Reks didn't wrestle on ECW, but appeared there. He had his match on Superstars and was pretty impressive, he is supposed to be on ECW this week for his first match there.
This is actually not the end of the new superstar initiative. These stars are basically on a match by match basis, so some of the people we saw this past week won't be on ECW in a main spot.
They are bringing up a lot of new stars, and if liked, they will be on the roster. Fans should be watching ECW for the next few weeks, because we will see more being tested like the 4 we saw this week.
None will be full-fledged members of the WWE roster yet, but will rather still be in try out mode for the next few months. The WWE has not been patient with young stars in the past, which means the new stars need to impress right away.
Tony Atlas will probably be released. After Mark Henry was drafted to RAW, Atlas was forced to stay on ECW. His WWE future is in doubt of course, and he is not able to wrestle often anymore.
This means that the WWE has no way to use him, if he can't wrestle and will not fit for any managing role, there is no use for him. He signed a WWE deal back on July 8. 2008, which was most likely a 1 year deal. So they may let his contract run out, and not renew it.
John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler update
If you have seen SmackDown, you have obviously seen John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler. The WWE decided to push both when the arrived on SmackDown, to see what they could do.
They really impressed management, and has since been thought to be the best young stars in the company, so the WWE has decided to push them more. While Morrison will be in more main events, such as possible World Title matches, Ziggler will be in Intercontinental Title talks.
Both will most likely be wearing gold by the end of 2009, and I am very happy personally. I personally love both of these men, and Ziggler is a guy I have mentioned for a while, will be the next big star in the WWE.
Ziggler has not let me down, and I am very happy to see that. Morrison is a beast, the dude is going out and having great match after great match. How can you not push a guy who is doing so well?
Good job WWE, for finally giving us what we want!
That is all for the 411 Today, remember to check out the upcoming 411s!
