- PW Ponderings reports that several sources, including two promoters and a top independent talent, have confirmed to them that El Generico has signed with WWE. Generico has been working in PWG, EVOLVE, CHIKARA and ROH recently.
Wtf? Awesome if its true.

It's a shame to see him leave the indies, but he absolutely deserves it.

That would seriously rule. Although I don't know how far the character would go in WWE, and doing anything else with him (especially having him wrestle unmasked) is a sin.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy. He absolutely deserves it. I just hope WWE allows him to keep the El Generico gimmick.

He deserves every success in the world and I hope he does well.
I'm just curious as to how they will use him. He's a fantastic wrestler, but so much of what he is is tied to that gimmick. But WWE has actual luchadors, so I don't know if they need a generic one.
There are way too many variables for me to make predictions, but I hope he does well and I can't wait to see him on my TV in whatever way they use him.

Merh, wwe will probably call him something like "the masked warrior" Put him in a few matches with jobbers, have him beat them, then put him in a tqg team with someone like kofi kingston and be done....
I LOVE el generico dont get me wrong, but this is me basically saying, i have lose hope over the years for wwe giving new talent (well, new talent to wwe anyway) a crap role on the show. I HOPE im wrong and i HOPE that he keeps the gimmick, keeps the moves and is successful but, yeah...

I get giddy just thinking about. Generico in WWE would be crazy. Congrats to him if it turns out to be true. He really, really deserves the money and fame.

Here's our podcast where we broke the news: www.pwponderings.com/?p=21950Take a listen. Thanks guys. Small update, PWTorch said they have one source who confirmed it. Trust me when I say it was not an easy decision to put out there and it was the green light from our sources who normally tell us to put lids on stuff we get told that allowed us to do this. |

If it's true (since I barely believe dirt sheet websites now a days), as long as he stays masked, I could care less what they call him
