Merriman worked some of the WWE Network panels during WrestleMania weekend and was at the Superstars For Kids party.

That's awesome.

His NFL Nickname was "Lights Out"... maybe he can take over Kassius Ohno's old "knockout artist" character?

Merriman was pretty good at one point, I'm looking forward to this

Until he got off the juice and got fat lol.

Don't see why they want him training young folks when he only got as big as he did by using roids.

He won't be performing in ring lol. I doubt he does anything on screen other than the pointless pre show shit he was doing this week.

WrestleChat.net said the plan is for Merriman to be an announcer while he trains to be a wrestler, then make the transition to the ring when he's ready.

Hmmmm... still not certain if it's true... but that's the latest update. lol... I personally think it would not work at all.. but whatever lol

"make the transition to the ring when he's ready"

Alternatively, he would be uniquely qualified to be the guy whose job it is to make sure the lights are turned off at the Performance Center every night when they close up.
