BIG NAME STARS ON THE WAY BACK: BRACE YOURSELVES

[The Great One]

WWE is apparently looking at possibly bringing back Jimmy Wang Yang and Curt Hawkins along with other past talents and high-level free agents as the company looks to bulk up its' active talent roster for the upcoming WWE Draft / Brand Extension.

As noted, Jimmy Wang Yang was backstage at Monday's edition of RAW, where he noted that he had a meeting scheduled with Vince McMahon. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Wang Yang and Hawkins are both guys WWE is looking at bringing in, with the idea being they still have name value and name recognition from the past, which can be used to put over and help elevate up-and-coming talent.

In related news, WWE is also reportedly interested in signing Lucha Underground stars Volador Jr. and Rush. As noted last week, WWE has also expressed interest in Lucha Underground star Prince Puma (Ricochet).

The WWE Draft / Brand Extension is scheduled to take place on the first live Tuesday edition of WWE SmackDown, which goes down live on July 19th.

HAWKINS DA GAWD

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

they're approaching this cheaply as possible smh

Volodor Jr. is 35, they're not gonna invest a lot of time and money into him

 

[45123]

They're probably signing on as NXT trainers or occasional on-air NXT talent

 

[HYDRO]

That's a good thing...bring in good hands like those two and protect your new stars

 

[The Rainmaker]

Not even mad. New Era needs some enhancement talent.

Yeah, I'm not against it. They're likely to be signed to short term deals anyways. They've brought in a lot of new talent lately anyways and they haven't really done right by those guys either. Focus on getting those guys in the right place first, then call Joe, Balor, Bayley, Asuka and Nakamura up.

Six months from now Jimmys indie rates going back to 60k a show like we back in 08

 

[Bonefan32]

I always liked Curt and Jimmy so I'm cool with it


Hawkins is a lot better than Zack

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Can't see Hawkins actually wanting to go back unless hes actually doing something. He was relieved when he got released and gets booked often nowadays. He also runs a school and promotion now

 

[mrken12]

Another name they might call:

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Game changers

Wwe jobbers on the roster better take note. Y'all spots are up for grabs.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Another name they might call:

I don't think there is a place for Mr. Adderall while Orton is there.

 

[jackswstd]

Is Jimmy still doing the country gimmick?

 

[JoogJoint]

So, why did they release Damien Sandow again? Just bring him back as well. He was enhancement talent, but he was great at what he did. Why bring all these other no name scrubs back?

Then again like the others said we need jobbers and enhancement talent.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

I just read there's been interest in bringing back a new road warriors

but we supposed to forget about those nxt jobbers? :I
