Excellent news! WWE needs more guys that don't just fit into the cookie cutter indie workrate mold. There's nobody else on the roster like him, and I'm glad he'll be sticking around. I can't see his big run lasting, but man, his family are gonna have such an amazing Christmas this year. This is fantastic to see. Very much agree with this. Sure he is a comedy gimmick and enhancement talent. That is OK. I'd rather see Ellsworth get wrecked by people than another jacked up musclehead or flippy indy guy. It's a novelty, which frankly, we could use more of. |

I'm watching the video thinking to myself that the building looks awfully familiar. Turns out that happened about 7 minutes from my house. It was in the Jaffa Shrine Center in Altoona PA. I heard about the event but forgot all about it. Whoops!

Guy got lucky, hit in the right place at the right time and is gonna get to live a dream. Good for him. Doesn't make me enjoy it or think it's "worthwhile". It's just such a bizarre thing....like, they are signing this guy why? because he looks funny and is over with the crowd. Cesaro is more over and has been with every crowd across the US and yet I don't even think he's had a 1v1 WWE Title match on TV. Zayn was over with crowds and he's fallen completely flat with nonsense booking and no storyline besides "Owens' former best friend" Breezeango is over, and they are treated like complete fool joke jobbers Zack Ryder... Etc. So when you see this company completely  ing over their talent and the excuse is that they either cant grab a brass ring, or they don't outsell Cena or Reigns in merch (even though when they do they get the rug swept out from under them to keep the big boys strong) But then they go and sign a guy simply because he's a goofball, and he got over on the internet like....am i the only one that sees the gigantic problem with all this?  |

Exactly it's a joke that this guy has a job. while Damien Sandow, Cody Rhodes, EC3,Chris Hero, AND Drew Galloway were released or asked for their release. Or talent like Neville, Cesaro, Crews,Kalisto,Zayn, American Alpha, Luke Harper etc are doing nothing. |

Oh the salt here, I am glad he got the job. Not everything has to be serious and real in a world already not real and cheesy.
If everything goes alright he can be used in many ways so it doesn`t get old. This is not the first (and won`t be the last) time someone is getting over just because of something very specific, it may be unfair but that is wrestling for you, the goal is to get over no matter how.

Yeah he's the most over guy that they could use in the cruiserweights division I think people will turn on him eventually.

James Ellsworth is like Eugene, 123 kid, Zach Gowen, and Mikey Whipwreck all rolled into one.

Lol@ all the triggered smarks in here. Mad because your favorite bland cookie cutter generic work rate indy guys isnt getting signed? Or pushed? "OHHHHH WE DONT LIKE PEOPLE GETTING SHOVED DOWN OUR THROAT, WE DONT LIKE HIM, THATS WHY WE BOO, WE WANT SOMEONE ELSE, ITS GOTTA HAPPEN ORGANICALLY, NOT FORCED" *A literal jobber comes in, ORGANICALLY gets over(read it again, OVER), WWE sees something in him after a month or 2 of appearances and offers him a contract* "OHHHHH WE DONT LIKE HIM, HE IS ANNOYING, HE DOESNT DESERVE A CONTRACT, *SOBBING*, WHY WONT THEY SIGN _________(insert cookie cutter flippy work rate bland indy guy nobody will care about here)INSTEAD???" Heres an idea, How about you give him a ing chance? Some of you smarks are the worst. There is a reason why youre on a wrestling toy forum bitching and not actually doing anything in the wrestling business. Get over yourself. |

Heres an idea, How about you give him a ing chance? Some of you smarks are the worst. There is a reason why youre on a wrestling toy forum bitching and not actually doing anything in the wrestling business. Get over yourself. I like my fair share of indy guys, but I also like a lot of homegrown WWE talents too (even some of the lower end jobber guys), and it bugs me when those guys got over, only for WWE to push them aside (see a previous posters examples of Zack Ryder, Tyler Breeze, and Fandango), because supposedly their workrate wasn't up to par with the indy guys, yet WWE decides to bring in and push this guy of all people, who has even LESS wrestling talent than them. Yeah, Ellsworth got over organically....THEN WWE started forcing it. The same thing happened to New Day. James Ellsworth is like Eugene, 123 kid, Zach Gowen, and Mikey Whipwreck all rolled into one. The man behind Eugene, Nick Dinsmore, was legit one of the best talents in OVW; without the Eugene gimmick he could've been the next Dean Malenko. Hell, WWE rehired him to be a trainer in NXT for a little bit. 123 Kid/X-Pac/Sean Waltman was an innovator of the Cruiserweight style and someone the company trusted as a measuring stick. Zack Gowen had some athletic talent despite having only one leg |

This guy NEEDS a hardcore division.
I'd love to see him in a Crash Holly Hardcore division role.
Screw it, give Raw the IC title. Give Smackdown the CW title and bring the Hardcore title back to SD Live.
