I might see it just to see if Lesnar might go stiff on Cena.

The Rock is still the great one.

As predicted. I mean it's Cena vs Rock regardless of how the build up turned out

In speaking with several sources today, I can confirm that New Japan Pro Wrestling superstar Fergal “Prince” Devitt, Dragon Gate USA star PAC and several United Kingdom based independent wrestlers, most notably Crusher Craib and Bingo Ballance from WrestleZone Scotland all worked WWE tryout matches at the O2 Arena in London, England earlier today prior to the doors opening to the fans.

WWE have had an interest in bringing in several Dragon Gate USA stars in recent months, with PAC and a few others topping that list. The interest in Devitt is something that the company have been pursuing in recent weeks as several people within the company have recommended his name to WWE officials. As for Craib and Ballance, those two like the other unannounced names thus far, are getting a lookout as the company evaluates them before deciding whether or not to sign them to a developmental deal. Ballance previously worked for Irish Whip Wrestling, the same company that current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus, previously worked for. Craib is 6ft 6in and 275lbs and would fit the WWE mold of wrestlers.

Stick with us as the story develops.

Pac can't pass the wellness.

Sources report that WWE has offered women's wrestler Rachelle St. Clair a developmental deal. St. Clair, real name Rachel Walker, tried out for WWE back in November of 2011 during the UK tour.

From another article on lords of pain

As noted earlier, WWE sources report that women's wrestler Rachelle St. Clair has been offered a deal. Diva-Dirt reports that several tryouts have taken place overseas this week. Pro Wrestling: EVE stars Erin Angel and Carmel Jacob reportedly had tryouts before RAW on Monday. Angel, who had a tryout with WWE last year, was trained by WWE Hall of Famer Jake "The Snake" Roberts and TNA star Douglas Williams.

PAC in the WWE ... doubtful.
Devitt as well ... slightly better.

If the WWE really want to go head-to-head with UFC, they need to up the "sports" and lessen the "entertainment" aspect. Those guys could help with that IF they commit to raising new stars NOW.
