Report on why WWE is signing more indy talent and who is pushing for it

[Stopspot]

As noted before, WWE has signed El Generico to a developmental deal. One of the main reasons they wanted him is because he speaks a number of different languages. The feeling is that will come in handy as an asset for international markets. Generico has canceled some indy events and will likely be headed to developmental soon. There's a feeling among some within WWE that he will no longer wrestler under a mask but that's not confirmed.
Generico's signing is said to be part of a bigger plan as WWE has a number of indy stars on their radar that they want to lock into deals. Word is that this is a Triple H move and more signings are coming.

Two of those potential signings are Adam Cole and Sami Callihan. Both of them have tryouts with WWE scheduled between now and the end of January.

The success of guys like Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins in mainly CM Punk and Daniel Bryan has caused a different feeling within WWE when it comes to talent coming up through the indies, and also talent that doesn't have the look, size and physique that used to be the first thing WWE looked for.

Triple H is actually doing me proud. He has good taste as well.

Great to read it. Generico working without the mask is sort of a let down, but let's see how it ends up. HHH already improving the company.

Weird how Hunter is turning into an IWC favourite now lmao.

 

[Testify]

Hunter realizes the future. Kudos.

 

[CM Punk]

Nice read and good move by Triple H.
Now we just gotta fix creative...

 

[Dat Kid1]

El Generico got signed? :shock:
Maybe Triple H isn't such a bad guy after all. Lets see how many of these indy stars get to stick around. I'm impressed with the recruiting WWE has done as of late, makes me have hope for the future.

WWE: Soon to be overran by vanilla midgets

Love it. Cole and Callihan would be great additions along with Generico, as long as WWE handles them properly. Way to go, Triple H. I'm actually impressed. That last paragraph also makes me proud.

Pretty good idea WWE has now. The creative needs to step up, but signing these talents is the first step to improving the product.

 

[Brother Loathe]

Damn. It's kinda funny I knew it would be HHH who pushed for it. Kinda sad that Genericho won't be with his mask, I hope he keeps his theme though.. OLE!

Paul actually signing decent talent this just shows Vince needs to retire and Paul to take over completely

Also forgot to say HHH is pulling some serious strings atm. Loojs to me like he is shaping the company how he wants it to be for the future.
