He's done everything he possibly could on the indies, similar to the position Danielson was in when he signed. Steen absolutely deserves a shot, so if it's true, I wish him the best.

This is great news, hope he does well, as I agree; he's done just about everything there is to do on the indies and ROH, and he doesn't like working in Japan, so this is great news.

Steen is one of my favorites but as much as I'm happy he's gotten this opportunity, I can't see his style working in WWE. Plus, his most badass move is banned. But anyway if this is true, good for him.

I do like Steen from what I have seen recently, but the dude really needs to get in shape.

I would like to see him get a chance to shine in WWE but he will have to watered down so much it won't be funny. The crowd playing wrestler teasing Kevin Steen will most likely be another guy who gets the crowd to clap occasionally during his matches. And with a newborn child how will he take to the WWE schedule.

Would be awesome to see him let a bit loose in WWE with the Package Piledriver. I'll try to keep my optimism they wont totally change him.
But he does complain a lot on Twitter about missing his wife and kids when he travels, gotta wonder what that'll do to him when he's only home one or two days a week on the WWE schedule.

If true I'm very happy to see Willie Mack get a shot.

I'm a huge fan of Steen and really hope this I true. Heck,just the idea of Steen and Generico putting on a great match with WWE's restrictions is enough to make me excited. It's true he doesn't have the body they normally look for, but I think that's a good thing. They need to get away from the cookie cutter again. They've been doing it some in the last couple of years, so let's see it continue. As for him being misused, I'm not too worried about that. Of course I would like to see him in top matches, but anywhere on the card he can perform if given the chance. Besides, I'm sure his main goal is feeding his family over anything. We'll see how it goes. Mack is another that's outside the mold. But people will go nuts when they see what he can do. I'm sure WWE will tone him down some, but even just his dropkick or standing moonsault would impress the hell out of people. You don't normally see a 280lbs man do those things like he does. I don't at all expect him to be main event, but he's a lot of fun to watch. I can see him as this generations Koko B.Ware. And know that I completely mean that as a compliment, as I was always a big fan of Koko. As for the rest. Romero is a bit disappointing, but ACH isn't a surprise at all. I'm interested to hear what happens with Strong, but if Steen, Mack, KENTA, and Devitt all really do sign, they may not have a spot for Strong right now. Either way, he could add a lot to their shows and would be a great hand in the ring. Plus the idea of the IC title being around Strong's waist is pretty cool. In the end, my main hope with all of them signing is getting cool figures,since working with WWE is the only way for that to happen right now. I hope they all do well enough to get elites.

Just saw him at wrestlecon, he was looking SLIM That was the only thing that ever held him back and he does looks pretty good now. Even stopped wearing the gym shorts. Im excited as steen is the nicest wrestler I've ever met and probably one of the most exciting. He will do good if given the chance.

I never saw anything in Kevin Steen. I have seen his ROH stuff, and he has never interested me. Now if Mike Bennett, Adam Cole, BJ Whitmer, or Silas Young were coming to the WWE, then I would be pumped!! I REALLY don't see how you didn't see anything impressive with Kevin Steen yet you found Mike Bennett, BJ Whitmer and Silas Young all impressive. With that said, I really hope plans work out for Kevin so that he doesn't have to spend much time in development (given this is true) and won't have to leave his family to live in Tampa for a few years, he seems like a real family guy and unless the right offer comes up I don't think he'll be going to the 'E.

If it's true, great for him. I actually liked Kevin Steen since his feud with El Generico in Ring of Honor, so I hope he does get signed, as long as he stays in shape. I know I've heard he was getting in shape, which it's great, but it's another thing to stay in shape, so hopefully he stays in great shape.Except i'm sure Chris Hero was in way better shape then Steen is. Steen could be big in the WWE, he's got the look and talent to make it. But he's never really been in shape compared to the guys the WWE usually signs. I'm sure their's a reason the guy always wears a shirt. And Willie Mack? Guy isn't in the best of shape himself, and really isn't the best thing out there. And for Roderick Strong; hopefully he is signed. Strong is a pretty good technical worker and could boost the mid-card. Chris Hero's gimmick really needed him to be in flawless condition, looking like a boss hitting the elbows and knocking people out. Kevin Steen uses his size in his ring arsenal, Hero doesn't and can't as there's no way to have a moveset for a skinny fat ass (coming from a fan of Hero.) Willie Mack is awesome, I don't know if you've seen any of his matches but if you have, you'd see his incredible speed and agility for a man his size, hell, a man of any size mightn't be able to match Willie, he's got some high impact moves, I think he is very good and could be great in the WWE. Roderick Strong is good in the ring, not great but a good competitor that has had some nice matches over the past years, but there's a reason he's never been PWG/ROH World Champs, he doesn't have the talking ability that guys like Steen do, Steen is great on the mic and as good as Strong is in the ring.

Kevin Steen looks like a guy I would see at Walmart. He doesn't look like a wrestler. I just never drank the Kevin Steen koolaid that everyone else did.
