Guest Fight Me. Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 WWE has announced a blockbuster signing in the form of 22-year-old prodigy Lio Rush. Internationally recognized as one of the rings top high-flyers, Rush officially joined the WWE Performance Center today in Orlando, Fla. Born Lionel Gerard Green, of Lanham, Md., Rush wrestled in high school, becoming a two-time All-American and three-time state qualifier. He began training for sports-entertainment in 2014 and, in less than three years, has competed in 43 states, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany and Ireland. In 2016, he won Ring of Honors Top Prospect Tournament, and earlier this year, he held the Combat Zone Wrestling Heavyweight Championship. The 160-pounder quickly became a fan favorite on the independent scene for his daredevil creativity and unbelievable resiliency, as well as his Dragons Call finisher, a devastating frog splash that recalls DLo Browns split-leg variation. In joining the WWE PC, Rush reunites with a former tag team partner, current NXT Superstar The Velveteen Dream, with whom Rush co-held the Maryland Championship Wrestling Tag Team Titles in 2015. http://www.wwe.com/shows/wwenxt/article/wwe-signs-lio-rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nerd Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Let's GO!!!!!! Been waiting so long for this! But I'm scared at how he'll eventually be booked and misused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Can't wait to see how he'll do. He's pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm scared at how he'll eventually be booked and misused.I don't mean this negatively, or to sound mean in any way, but he has been a singles wrestler for less than two years. How does that qualify as "so long." Especially since he's still new to the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen him do small shows here in Maryland. Met him a few times as well. So when I say "so long" it's a form of someone I've met and someone from my homeplace that's making it to the big time. I've also thought of several matches I've wanted to see him work. Does that answer your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senex Beast Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Was that table spot no sell, a planned thing between the two wrestlers and promotion bookers or is that something he just decided to and pull an ultimate warrior? He's usually a decent seller but that spot was a HUGE wrestling taboo. So I just hope he doesn't try that stunt at an NXT Takeover or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
