Snitsky In Demand, Brad Armstrong & Tazz Feuding, Future Of Heyman's Security

Posted By: wrestling-radio.com on Dec 27, 2006

Writer Dave Lagana wants Gene Snitsky to be moved over from RAW to ECW. In recent producer meetings, Arn Anderson and Finlay have been pushing for Snitsky to get a bigger role in the company. However, the problem is that it would make ECW look more and more like a place for RAW and SmackDown rejects. Snitsky has appeared sparingly on RAW since Goldust's release back in June.

The deal with Brad Armstrong appearing at the commentators' table at the 12/19 ECW show was a tryout for the color commentator spot should Tazz not re-sign with the company. Furthermore, it was also something of Vince McMahon trying to stir things up to get to Tazz. The company probably didn't like the idea of Tazz playing up offers from Sirius and an FM station in New York. Tazz knew what was going on and he decided to cut Armstrong off from the minute he got there.

No final decision has been made regarding the future of Doug Basham and Derrick Neikirk, who were the men under the masks as Heyman's security team. The ideas at this point are either bringing them back as a tag team, but without masks, or putting their old tag teams back together again. Neikirk and Roughhouse O'Reilly were scheduled to debut on television in the fall, but O'Reilly failed a drug test and was suspended for it back in September. About a week later, Danny Basham tore his triceps, thus resulting in the two teams merging. Ideas floating around include the Bashams returning after WrestleMania to ECW, Neikirk and O'Reilly being a team, or turning Neikirk and Mike Knox into a tag team, just as they were in Deep South Wrestling.
