Legit stunned when I woke up to this. Not been this shocked since when Malaki debuted. I don't think there has been case like this where we didn't know they were a free agent. But I rate the shock on the same level. I guess going back to Rick Rude debuted on WCW? That's the closest example I can think of like this

I mean. Are you technically a free agent before you can sign anywhere? So if we didn’t know Black could debut yet, we TECHNICALLY didn’t know he was a free agent. I always see the tweets when 30 or 90 days are up saying “so and so is now a free agent.” So I mean if you want to get technical we can get technical and say he fits
I didn't want to get technical, so that's where we're at an impasse here

I am both being technical AND agree this Strong debut is fairly unprecedented in recent time because I think we actually all agree anyways

I will say this: Never been the biggest fan of Strong but he adds depth to the midcard and gives KOR a tag team partner when he comes back. Swerve spinning his wheels atm is just bad booking imo not because of roster size

well his goons immediately got injured so that didn't help and idk I'm assuming something went on with Keith Lee because he was barely around and that was his main feud. I'd chalk it up to half bad booking half bad luck

That was to Booty, since he was specifically talking about someone being a free agent and we not knowing about it.

I thought he was still under contract in WWE but injured? This is quite a surprise.

Anyway, I'm glad they finally signed the best member of the UE, and that means he can work in the same company ad his wife.

iirc he requested his release ages ago just before Damon Kemp took him out in kayfabe.

It's refreshing to be legit shocked without everything being spoiled by the sheets

It really is. Kinda makes me want to go off the grid. Leave social media and everything like that. But then I wouldn’t be able to be here and I kinda like it here

Seems like he surely would. Indie companies are probably chomping at the bit to book him against Speedball, Gresham, Shelley, Zayne, Christian, etc.
