why not bring in fresh people instead of repackaging losers

Armando Estrada has not been on Raw as of late because ECW head writer Dave Lagana has been making a major push to bring him over to ECW. The motivation is that he is such a good talker that he could assist in getting over some new heels on the brand.

Speaking of which, there is a group of three developmental talents set to be called up very soon to ECW, and perhaps be the first to be paired with Estrada. They are Sonny Siaki, Ryan O'Reilly, and Eric Perez.

That is tremendous. Siaki's got a great look and can work a match, and I've only heard good things of Eric Perez and Ryan 'Roughouse' O'Reilly. Perez and Siaki are in a tag team called Urban Assault, but with the Majors moved, I don't know that there's any need to promote a tag team to the ECW roster right now.

could fued with the new breed perhaps

Johnny Nitro was renamed Johnny Morrison because the feeling was that the Nitro name was an established "not-serious" name and he's now in a world champion position. Vince felt that with his gimmick name people wouldn't take him serious.

Dusty Rhodes, Jen Hunt, Dave Lagana, and many others brain stormed several different names. Vince made the final decision with Morrison.

Marcus Cor Von is currently on a leave of absence from WWE. There was a family situation where he was forced to take care of his nieces and nephews due to problems within the family with his sister not being able to do so. He hasn't appeared in a WWE ring since the 6/19 ECW on Sci-Fi show.

Stevie Richards is getting a push due to several good reviews from WWE road agents. Richards has always been high on the McMahons' list of well-liked performers. In recent years, he was depushed due to a confrontation with writer Dave Lagauna over the creative direction of his character. Now thanks to the producers, he's getting a push.

Jerry Lynn requested his TNA release for a number of reasons. Lynn, 44, said prior to his release, he hadn't gotten paid by TNA in a month since he was only paid when he worked. When Lynn returned to the ring, he no longer served as an agent. Lynn missed independent bookings due to TNA wanting talent to fly in a day early for TV tapings, and then often times, the talent wasn't used. Lynn said that he would be open to an ECW offer. http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=191706957
