Daniel Singh is working in Florida Championship Wrestling under the name Jarrod Locke. I was not able to find a lot of information on Locke. The only thing known thus far is he is 7 feet tall and competed on the UK version of American Gladiators.
Brian Mcghee is working in Florida Championship Wrestling under the name DT Porter. I was not able to find a lot of information about Mcghee. Some may know him as Donovan Ruddick from St. Louis.

He has worked for Stampede Wrestling under the name Bishop and Apocalypse. While being apart of the promotion he captured the North American Heavyweight Championship. He also became a two time International Tag Team Champion. During that time he also wrestled in Japan and England. After Stampede Wrestling shutdown in 2007 he joined Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) were he was named Erik Doom. Doom did not stick and he was later named Apoc. While competing for OVW he captured the OVW Heavyweight Championship twice and became a OVW Southern Tag Team Champion. According to the original report he is a seven footer, but his wikipedia states he is only 6 foot 3 inches. Not sure which is true because you can't always trust wikipedia.
Jason Mullens is working in Florida Championship Wrestling. I was unable to find his real name. He worked the British independent circuit as Nightmare.
Why Sign Seven Superstars At Once?
Bringing in seven new superstars seems like a lot. WWE must be trying to fill the empty roster spots that occurred from NXT superstars being called up like Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater, and Alex Riley.
They could have been brought in to replace some of the NXT stars who did not perform well on the show. If their contracts are coming up WWE might not be signing them back.
After four seasons of NXT WWE might be looking for superstars for a fifth season. This seems unlikely because Tough Enough will be returning in April.
WWE could be looking for replacements for their big men. Big Show, Kane, and The Undertaker might be nearing the end of their careers. If this is true some of the big men like Jong or Singh could be replacing them.

Post a CommentPeople's Champion, not sure how you could have missed it, but Goldberg did win the World Heavyweight Championship from HHH later that year, although he was nothing but trouble and didn't deserve it. He threw hissy fit tantrums backstage from what I hear, because he didn't get championship bonuses to go along with his astronomical asking price for coming in.
The Goldberg and The Rock's feud was weird to me. I know that Rocky was a heel and all, but why did Goldberg win the rivalry against The Rock and never became champion in the WWE? Im not the biggest fan of Goldberg, but after winning a PPV against The Rock, he should have became champion.
I'm sure Y2J will return in due time, but a new rumor of Batista joing the MMA is starting to circulate. I'm hoping this MMA rumor is totally false, but Batista may still make an appearance at WM 27.
Haven't heard of any of these guys either, but want to see if they have anything special.
Exciting.
WWE needs to take advantage of all of their signed talent
I never heard of any of them
