classiq. Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 WWE will be officially signing Willie Mack, who will soon be reporting to WWE NXT in Florida. Mack, who has been on WWE's radar for months, had an official farewell and tribute over the weekend at a Pro Wrestling Guerrilla event in Reseda, CA. Joey Ryan posted the following photo on his Instagram account: PWInsider.com reported several months ago that Mack was signing with the company but chose to rescind the report after WWE sources indicated he had not yet taken the medical testing needed that would allow him to sign. Mack finally went through the testing last week, PWInsider has confirmed. Orignally trained by Ryan and Aaron Aguilera, among others, Mack has been a regular for CWH and PWG for years and is an incredibly athletic, charismatic performer. CWH booked him to win their Red Carpet Rumble earlier this year as something of a tribute and sendoff for him for all his hard work for the promotion.

classiq. Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Seriously PWG should just become a WWE developemental. Between OVW and what was FCW, I'm not sure they need it, but it definetly makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Seriously PWG should just become a WWE developemental. They don't need a second development product that's better than their main shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizo Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm shocked they would even sign him. They released KO because of his weight and lack of gym dedication but they sign this guy? He's completely out of shape. And he's pretty much a spot monkey who only runs and strikes. I don't see the appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true, Hero got released because they didn't saw him adding to the product, he even said so himself. And even then, Hero was overweight and wrestled "normal" whereas Mack is an attractiom because of the moveset/body type combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know what many media outlets said. Doesn't change the fact, Willie is overweight and boring imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNFNS Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 He's overweight so that makes him bad? It just adds to the fact the this overweight guy is very agile and can do some stuff overweight wrestlers can't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizo Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Didn't say that. I said he's overweight and boring in my OPINION. It's ok to be overweight if you're exciting or dynamic. Similar to Samoa Joe, he's overweight, and exciting or was at some point. To me Willie Mack offers nothing. Why is it so hard to accept that?

Lyriqz ✪ Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's not but Mack's a lot more dynamic than Joe would dare to dream being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNFNS Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 You're adding that he's overweight so I assumed that you saw that as why he shouldn't be signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizo Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Well, noticed I added the "was at some point". I can't speak for Joe's current work. Haven't watched him in a min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's completely out of shape. And he's pretty much a spot monkey who only runs and strikes. I don't see the appeal. I'm a fan of Kofi, but you defended Kofi in the other thread and Mack literally does the same exact thing, except better, lol. Plus his look makes his high flying ability really unique. I think that's the appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizo Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Kofi is more entertaining than Mack imo. So I don't see the comparison. They're not the same at all to me. And this thread isn't about Kofi.....so that's irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
