WWE has signed Andre Tyson (that’s his real name believe it or not), a muscular 21-year-old guy from the U.K. who wrestled in his home country as MVK Valkabious, to a developmental deal.

Nice to see another British wrestler being signed. To me he looks a bit like WWE's new version of Crimson from TNA. Posting a pic would be too big, so here's a match of his from Youtube:

WWE have quite a few Brits on the roster and in FCW now. Will see how he goes in FCW and if he can break through to get onto the main roster. Helps that he is so young and has plenty of time to make it to the top.

Nice addition, looks like WWE are really pushing the UK guys lately. Hopefully a British Champion by the end of the year.

I wish Regal would manage someone!

Barrett should be pretty close to the title by the end of the year.

Regal would be great as a manager. Let him announce NXT and then manage a couple of guys on RAW and Smackdown as well.

So he doesn't have any wrestling ability? That is what I got from his description, didn't click the video.

I like that WWE is finally makes strides to get more European talent. Long overdue if you ask me.

Would have been nice to have this much diversity back when there was a European Championship.

I hope they continue to look overseas for more talent, not just the UK but Mexico, Japan, maybe even Australia. Plenty of diversity would be good and if they are from different indy scenes then hopefully they will have different styles which helps freshen up the show.

Yeah, WWE need more international talent and down in Australia we have quite a few good wrestlers who can cut decent promos. Shame they don't go talent scouting.

On each international tour they normally host a training day where they invite certain talents to see if they are ready for a deal. Hopefully next tour they sign at least one Australian. Would be good to have someone to follow in the footsteps of Nathan Jones.
