TNA Signs Developmental Deal with OVW

[Troy]

I will be interested to see if TNA remove any wrestlers from tv in the coming weeks and place them into OVW for a bit more training. This would also be useful to streamline tv a bit and reduce the number of wrestlers they try to put onto every show.

There are definitely a few guys who could go back to get some more development. Magnus, Crimson, Rob Terry and Gunner. I just don't find them interesting and some need to brush up on their skills a bit.

The thing is that they simply can't say OVW turned out Orton, Batista, Cena, Mickie, Melina, etc.. The reason that it worked for WWE was because of the trainers they had in place. They had Storm, Finlay, Snow, Ivory, Jacqueline, and countless others there to teach guys, not to mention Cornette and Heyman.

I live close to OVW and I know Storm, Finlay, and Jacqueline never trained anyone there. The man that trained all those guys was Rip Rogers and Rogers is still there. Snow did the beginers class but Rogers did the advanced class. I'm not sure if Ivory ever trained there or not. I know Finlay was an agent for WWE during OVW's prime.

I'm very excited to see this though and I'm sure it will benefit both sides. I bet guys like Pope and Morgan will work a few shows for OVW, seeing as how they used to train there.
