Nice
I wonder when Sheffield is going to be put back on TV he has been working a few dark matches lately
The Legend
What would they do with him if they brought him on TV?
There’s not much room for a new guy to come in. They’re already screwed with Brotus Clay not having a role and Mason Ryan is still just hanging out somewhere. While Sheffield isn’t the exact same type of wrestler as Clay or Ryan, but he’d probably get the same type of booking as a beastly face or heel who crushes everything. Sheffield could be used as someone’s bodyguard though. Maybe give Tyson Kidd another push only with someone who can wrestle as his bodyguard instead of a 7 foot guy who couldn’t do anything but get thrown out of a ring.
That's where the WWE right now has screwed the pooch
I was looking at rosters from the late ’90s, and realized that even though there was considerably less TV time (only RAW for the most part, and then budding Smackdown, and Heat, etc.), they had a lot more people employed. There were a hell of a lot more factions and tag teams back then.

What’s wrong with the name Seth Rollins? That’s my real life name. Just kidding, but I don’t see anything terrible about it. It sounds like a normal name to me.

It's only good in comparison to the others.
Let’s see, there is:
Husky Harris-why cash in being named after two legendary wrestlers?
Skip Sheffield-nothing is more intimidating than a man named Skip
briley Pierce-I don’t think briley is a real name and should never be capitalized
Eli Cottonwod-ugh
Leakee-they pronounce it another way but it still sounds like he has to pee
Conor O’Brian-Sheamus better be glad he left when they though this gem up
Antonio Cesaro-so we have a guy that is a proud Swiss and give him an Italian sounding name.

Re: "Antonio Cesaro"
I thought the character was ‘generically’ “very European” as opposed to being explicitly Swiss the way Claudio Castagnoli is?
Though I'm sure it's complete oversight on the WWE's behalf,
Italian is one of Switzerland’s official languages, and Italians make up a large minority of foreign residents and permanent immigrants.

Great news. Hopefully both of them debut on the big show soon.
Skip has one of the sickest clotheslines in the biz. I’m pretty sure his overall wrestling has improved since the Nexus days. I felt Skip wasn’t as green as the others were at the time.
I’m also hoping Ambrose gets called up as well.

definitely want to see Mox (Ambrose)
his in-ring character is different from anything going on in the WWE right now. I think he could quickly carve a niche for himself.
