Some news that I am curious over has entered my mailbox. WWE has signed "Real Deal" Marcus Anthony from the FCW roster to an actual WWE deal. If I had to put this guy's physicality and ring style into words I would tell you to imagine the strength and high impact of Batista and the raw talent of Brock Lesnar in one man. If he can talk as well, he is something WWE hasn't seen in over a decade. He will become bigger than John Cena if that is the case. Mark my words. It will be interesting to see if they rush him into the main event the way they did Lesnar or if they'll wait as they did Cena.
Whatever the case, if they don't push him as the next big thing of this generation, they may very well miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime. Since a Lesnar-esque opportunity is rare at best, his rise needs to be built in strength and, without either a strong mouthpiece or enough time to build his persona on his own, he will fail....and you can take that to the bank.....and TNA will take his contract. To the victor, go the spoils....
In other WWE news, WWE has been scouting the indies for wrestlers 200 pounds or close to round out an all-cruiserweight show to be launched on the WWE Network this fall. Since many feared the netowkr would fail without more set programming in place, the launch of said network was pushed back to an indefinite fall date. My thoughts.....without this division as an attraction of your two current running shows, you may find great difficulty wrangling in anyone curious enough to pay their cable or satellite provider the extra money to see it, let alone giving the performers a mainstream place to ply their craft.
It was such a great idea that FCW roster Marcus Anthony will be entering WWE. I think that he would really be a great WWE wrestler. I am really excited to witness his upcoming fight.
