I've been in Oregon for the past 2 weeks w/o internet so sorry if this was already posted.
"
-- Former K-1 fighter Imani Lee has signed a WWE developmental contract. The 30 year old African American kickboxer and had a 1-3 record in K-1 and is said to be close with Dave Batista. He's actually been training at Florida Championship Wrestling on and off for a few months, but he's now officially signed."

Didn't Pride close March '07? On-topic: I'll have to see what he is first, 1-3 record doesn't sound too impressive. |

Shibata is also a piece of crap who gets his ass beat all the time. And everyone wonders why we don't see him anymore

That just proves he has no place in pro-wrestling. Shouldn't Shibata just get out of MMA and back into NJPW? I mean, they had an awesome new Three Muskateers stable going with Shibata, Nakamura and Tanahashi. Then Shibata just left. |

Not at all. He had a decent match in NOAH with KENTA as his partner, but everything else he did in NJPW he would always get his ass kicked.
