A blandly-named thread fitting of the subject.

Didn't Sin Cara already leave the company like a month ago?

lol nice to see they keep up with who the company let's go. Wounder who will accidentally show up next?

Pretty sure jtg has been accidentally showing up for YEARS now

Because JTG isn't a botch fest? Surprised there hasn't been a Sin Cara Botchamania yet.

I'm so ready for this.

#futurewwestar according to Rey Mystereo

Ready for the fued vs. Lesnar over who was the better football player

He's going to wrestle? Or be a WWE star preshow panelist?

Can't wait for the pending "Shawne Merriman has been suspended for violating the WWE's wellness policy" release.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Did he do anything in the NFL? I honestly don't remember his name at all. I saw him at WM30 preshow and was like who?

He was defensive rookie of the year and a 3x pro bowler but he got busted for steroids and kept getting hurt and never really performed up to the stature of his first three years in the league before he retired.

That sucks seems like he could of been big if not for the roids.

from lordsofpain.net who took it from observer newsletter

- As noted, WWE has signed former NFL star Shawne Merriman to a deal. The idea is to bring him up similar to how WCW brought up Steve "Mongo" McMichael.

They're looking at training Merriman as an announcer, put him on TV while he's also training to be a wrestler, and then transition into being a wrestler when he's good enough.

There is a renewed interest within WWE when it comes to signing NFL players who are still young but their football careers are over.

I could not be more disinterested in this. I get it... I guess, but I don't think it is going to be a particularly rewarding move.

Mongo is definitely not an example that any wrestling company should want to replicate.

NEW FOUR HORSEMAN! STING, MERRIMAN, ZIGGLER AND ARN ANDERSON!

WWE released several NXT talents this afternoon.

Mason Ryan, a Welsh talent who had been brought up to the main roster for a short period of time as a member of the Nexus while it was under CM Punk's control. Ryan had been pushed in NXT as a big monster type but had disappeared from TV in recent months. He returned to TV on the last episode of NXT, losing to Tyson Kidd.

       Shaul Guerrero, the daughter of Eddie and Vickie Guerrero, who was in her second WWE developmental run. She was part of an early version of The Ascension during her first run and had not been used on TV during this run.

Oliver Grey, a British talent, who had just returned from a knee injury after being out for quite some time, losing to Camacho on NXT TV. He was formerly a tag team partner of Adrian Neville, who had been moved into a big singles role while Grey was injury.

Danny Burch, a British talent, had been signed since 2011. He debuted on NXT TV in 2013 but had never been given a regular role or push.

If PWInsider.com confirms additional releases, we will have them on the site ASAP.

PWInsider.com has confirmed that WWE has released WWE NXT Diva Sarah Backman, an arm wrestling champion from Sweden, who was signed in March 2013.

We are told that Backman, who was christened Shara in WWE developmental, requested and received her release several days ago.

Mason Ryan, future GWF champion #JoinTheForce

Mason Ryan, can't even get the JTG treatment.

Mason Ryan, coming soon to the menagerie as Balloon Animal Dog joined by Oliver Grey as Balloon Animal Sword.

Former NJPW headliner and 'Bullet Club' founder/leader has officially signed with WWE, unlike Sting who seems to be using his contract as reading material while on the crapper instead of signing it and sending it to Stanford.

According to Tuna Meltzer at Figure 4(WOOOOOOOO) Wrestling site/News letter, KENTA, likely under a new name, will debut on NXT at some point this Summer.
