Since there have been so many "bring in -so and so-" threads, I figure we may as well do sort of an official one for every day. It's not a thread of people begging ROH to bring someone in... it's a thread for people to give their opinions of a non-ROH wrestler or team.

Are they good? Are they bad? Do they entertain you? Why or why not? That's all that matters... PERFORMANCE. Not their attitude backstage or anything personal. PERFORMANCE, ONLY.

It doesn't matter if they "are worth flying in". Pretend that they all live five minutes from the office and that they only cost seven cents to appear.

DO NOT JUST WRITE "NO". THE THREAD IS ABOUT "THOUGHTS".


I will be selecting wrestlers who have never truly been ROH regulars. A Do or Die appearance or a few main show appearances do not a regular make.

Some may be really good... some may be really bad... but c'mon... we're doing it every day so they can't all be winners.

Normally we will have the daily wrestler mon-thurs, and a single wrestler for Friday and the weekend... because seriously... you should be out doing something.

So... "Screamin" Norman Smiley ... thoughts?

When I pick daily wrestlers to do it isn't because I want them to be in ROH. They're pretty much picked at random.

Hmmmmm, if he brought his A game then he could probably do something. But if he's been reeling off mat clinic after mat clinic in the last three years, he's kept it a good secret.

Smiley & Lethal vs Walters & Rave could work though.

I know flights aren't supposed to be on the agenda, but obviously it would make sense to give him a shot in FiP first if he stills lives in Florida.

Although he was a decent wrestler at one point in WCW id have to say NO to Smiley. Colt Cabana is the comedy break on ROH shows. We dont need another clown.

He had some good technical ability years ago but when he came to WCW he became a comedy act. I'm with Barry O. ROH already has Cobana, there isn't much need for Smiley

Well, a feud with Cabana would be interesting but other than that...no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and no. Smiley doesn't have the in ring skills anymore. I saw him on a local indy tv show that is on the cable access channel here and he was horrible. He's slown way down and his comedy work isn't all that funny.

NO. Absolutely not.

Smiley is one of those former WCW guys I hope to never see wrestle again.

He's a guy who wound up focusing too much on his gimmick -- doing the 'big wiggle' -- more than his wrestling.

His workrate has deteriorated.

How old is this guy? He wrestled on a WCW PPV back in 1990!

He was washed up in WCW in 1998. Think how bad he is now!!

I say NO overwhelmingly.

I saw a little of his WCW work in the final years, and I was never impressed. He has a lot of charisma, but he can't bring it to the ring. So that's a NO to Norman.

Good for a comedy match and can actually wrestle. Maybe for a one night only, special event match for the BIG WIGGLE. I think he'd get a big reaction...or it could be another Konan/hardy/ICP fiasco

As much as I was a fan of Norman, I'm going to have to say no. He's way past his prime (pre-comedy) and I just don't think it's the right time or place....Maybe in late 02 early 03, but NOT now.
