We’re breaking news here. We have been told by several sources that El Generico has been signed to the WWE. We talk about it here. But we do also cover a lot including some exclusive insight into the EVOLVE Title Tournament and we talk about a ton of other news including DGUSA, D1W, SHINE, PWG, PWX, CZW and more. Check it out and tell your friends.

I hope it works out for him. Can't say there's anyone in wrestling that doesn't deserve it more than him. A big blow to the indies though.

Good for him to finally make the money he will make with WWE but man i hope they don't just stick him NXT and let him do nothing like Hero. i love the idea of seeing El Generico every week but how will they push him, how will he get over? I can see the E just sticking him in a fued going back and forth with Cara, but what would be the point? are they going to bring back the Cruiser weight title? i would think they might with the signing of PAC, but then who else do they bring in? his style would have been better served in TNA but I'm still excited for him.

PWInsider is now reporting it. Good luck Generico:

WWE has signed El Generico to a deal, PWInsider.com confirmed this morning. As we noted several months back, the company has had interest in him and it's been Generico's goal since not signing with Ring of Honor to get into the company.

One of the reasons WWE was so interested in Generico was that he speaks a number of different languages. The feeling was that would in handy as an asset for international markets.

Generico was removed from this weekend's Pro Wrestling Guerrilla event in California and it appears may already be done on the independent scene. He returned to Ring of Honor at Final Battle 2012 in what may prove to be his last-ever match with longtime partner/rival Kevin Steen.

Generico's signing is said to be part of a bigger WWE plan as the company has a number of names on their radar that they want to lock in for deals. 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.

So because Sin Cara and Kharma didn't pan out they way they envisioned, any other people tagged a 'Triple H signing' are destined for failure?

In Kharma's case, there's no way to know what could have happened due to the pregnancy, but it certainly looked like she was going to be a huge attraction. Sin Cara's failure to meet expectations is more puzzling, but a combination of heading straight to the main roster before working in the WWE style, supposed lack of English, suspension & injuries have been more of an obstacle for him.

I'm not sure if you're being snarky or serious, but it's annoying either way since it's a sweeping generalization.

I've never seen any of his matches, but I've run into his name quite a bit. Seems like a very skilled high flyer based on the top 25 moves of El Generico posted earlier in the thread. I cringed at some of the moves on there, because they seemed dangerous. I'm sure his move set will be restricted, but there's no reason he can't do some of the more basic powerbombs and moonsaults on the video. I could see his lack of size keeping him the in midcard though. Even Punk's bigger then him.

Probably TLC. ROH did a show in NYC that same day and had Steen vs. Generico in a ladder match earlier in the day. The Hammerstein was sold out with over 2,000 and most of them probably took the train to Brooklyn for the show.

Yeah, sign this dude, bring in some more little guys (especially if they don't speak English), bring back the Cruiserweight title! Because WWE needs more reason to be compared to WCW~!

Ryback is Goldberg. The Shield is the nWo. We're going to get a cruiserweight division. NitroRAW is 3-hours long. WHO IS GOING TO BE STING!?
:lmao You've obviously never seen even seen a video of the guy you're judging.
