- WWE has signed Dylan Mile, a 25 year old from Colorado who recently went through a tryout at their Performance Center last month. Mile isis 6’3 and 285 lbs. He wowed trainers with his agilitty, including a 37 inch vertical leap.

- The signings bring up Joey Ryan, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards, who were the biggest “independent wrestling namesâ€￾ at the most recent tryout. We have not heard that any of the three have been signed or offered anything as of this writing.

- In the case of Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards, they are not currently under contract to ROH, so if WWE wanted to make them an offer, they obviously could. There’s been a buzz about them potentially going, but nothing is ever, ever official until the deals are signed and they are actually under contract. That, however, doesn’t mean it’s a dead issue, either.

The only name in here that sticks out for me is Joey Ryan and it would be great for him to join WWE. I've hard of Eddie Edwards before but I never actually seen him wrestle or seen what he looked like. Have no idea who Davey Richards is. And I would like to know more about Dylan Mile since he was signed.

Any info on these guys?

Trust me you don't wanna see Davey wrestle, Joey Ryan is good when he's being a dirtbag and I think that would work in the WWE kinda like it did in the beginning for him in TNA but I doubt he'll get far. And as for Eddie he's great in the ring but he will need a real good mouth piece/valet for it to work or he'll end up like Axel.

I like all 3 names personally. Davey Richards can be a little much at times, but I generally like him. Eddie is pretty good i the ring, but like Fab said, he'll need a mouthpiece. Joey Ryan would do amazing things in WWE! At least I hope so.

No idea who the guy that was signed was.

I like Joey Ryan, he's an awesome heel character and pretty hilarious at times. Don't think he'd get far in WWE, but he'd be fun to watch if they did use him.

Fuck Davey Richards.

Fuck Eddie Edwards when he talks, but he'd be great in a tag team (shit, partner him up with anyone and I'd be okay, just don't let him talk, ever)

Hell no to Richards, but Joey Ryan might be toned the fuck down gimmick wise if they brought him up. You can't be a rip on 70's Porn Stars and succeed in Today's WWE.

Why does everybody hate Davey Richards? I've seen a couple matches of his and the guy busted his ass and did some crazy shit.

Davey Richards is what happens when you remove the physical of Daniel Bryan and the whole D-Bry gimmick... Looks great with a decent workrate but shockingly boring though.

Yes to Eddie Edwards - get him to learn how to cut a promo and he'll be sorted :D.

Cause that crazy shit is just unnecessary, like that dive he does to kill the crowd that 90% of the time doesn't even touch his opponents.

Don't even get me started on this

He's a total mark for himself and doesn't realise that you can't pull off a legit 'hard man' image when you have a 5ft frame.

Eddie Edwards is a solid hand, I liked his ROH TV title run, and Joey Ryan is good in his sleaze gimmick but I have no doubt WWE wouldn't let him keep that act, especially as he already did it in TNA.

WWE already have Adrian Neville, no need for these guys. Davey Richards wouldn't get out of developmental, because he doesn't undersatnd simple psychology and his liberal use of giant finishing moves used as simple transitions would drive the nXt trainers crazy. Like Teddy Hart, there is this thing called "doing too much". It waters down the product, it makes everyone elses movesets look jojo and his no-selling superecedes any apparent John Cena no-selling everyone seems to think.

And how long has Edwards been in the business? If he hasn't been able to cut a decent promo by now, I doubt he will even get a shot in the walk n talk territory.

Honestly, the only person I could see having a good run in WWE is Edwards. He'd suit WWE's style quite well and if booked correctly wouldn't need to speak that much to get over.

Davey Richards has a lot of traits that WWE wouldn't like. Even if they brought him into developmental there'd be a lot for him to learn and also un-learn. He'd probably be too much work for them.

With Ryan, there's no way they'd let him play the same gimmick he has now. But if you take away his gimmick then what are you left with? The gimmick makes Ryan, without that there's really nothing special about him.
