He makes a serious addition to their hey-kids division with Kofi, Clay, Santino, Car Stereo, and Ryder.

|  #3 Posted on 9.1.13 1234.41 | Instant Rating: 7.88 | But will WWE let him be El Generico?
I can imagine Vince/management saying a tall white guy has no business wearing a mask, let alone claiming to be from Mexico.
They'll repackage him and call him Eric Generic (if he's lucky) and his charm is gone. He won't be allowed to wrestle his current style either.
If it's true, good for him. I hope he succeeds. But I feel it won't be easy. See also; Scotty Goldman.

I'm predicting Bobby Generic. "And it's pronounced GEN-uh-rick."

I am told it's a Triple H move and that there will be a lot more signings to come, as long as those the company are interested in can pass the necessary medical exams.

Also, I don't think you can just casually throw out "Vince/Hunter" as if they're the same person. I think over the past year we've seen quite a differentiation between what Vince believes and some of what Paul's been slowly introducing as he is able.

| #6 Posted on 9.1.13 1329.59 | Instant Rating: 4.60 | | Even if it is a Triple H signing, there's still a good chance that he'd be repackaged, although I'm not sure they'd do anything as drastic as completely redesigning him. More likely, they'll want to do something with him that the company can own the trademark on. | Matt Tracker

The name may change, but I can see them keeping the persona. It has a goofiness to it that I think will work in the mainstream WWE too. | graves9

I believe it was Meltzer that wrote that a lot of ROH wrestlers contracts were up and they had sent out feelers to the WWE and TNA so I'm sure pwinsider is right that there will be more signings. I think this is a great signing as El Generico is a great all around performer. | JustinShapiro

And that's on top of the rumors about Shelton Benjamin, MVP, and John Morrison all coming back. Could make for a fun Rumble. Though more with the old WWE names than non-Shelton indy guys; they aren't going to debut, like, Alex Shelley in the Royal Rumble. | ekedolphin

"Nor-MAAN Smi-LAAY".
It'd be nice if they let him keep his current character, but you know Vince will want perpetual copyright on the character if he joins as El Generico.
So this may all be a "mute" point. (And I laughed when I read that, thinking, "Somebody actually got paid for writing that.")
Shelton, MVP and Morrison returning, I could really get behind.

Ding ding ding! Howie Mandel's "little Bobby" character got a short-lived animated series where we discovered the family's last name was Generic. And that would be a GREAT catchphrase! | JustinShapiro

This weekend's PWG show should be fun. El Generico was supposed to team with Kevin Steen, but is supposedly injured.
