TNA Negotiating With Former WWE IC & European Champion

As we reported earlier, the October 6th "TNA Mobile" text message alert contained a news item stating "TNA is in negotiations with a former WWE IC and European champion".

After doing some research at WWE's "Title History" page, I found that there are only 5 men who have hold both WWE's Intercontinental & European championships and are not currently under contract. Both Shawn Michaels and Triple H have held both titles but are obviously not eligable.

Of the five men who held both titles and are not currently under WWE contract, two of them are already under TNA contract. Those two are Jeff Jarrett and Christian Cage.

The remaining wrestlers who held both the WWE Intercontinental and European championships and are free agents are Andrew "Test" Martin, D-Lo Brown and Rob Van Dam.

Andrew "Test" Martin recently made several appearances for TNA. He worked without a contract and was sent hom because of his unreasonably muscular body. TNA told Test to drop some some muscle mass and he showed up to the next taping even larger. TNA knows Congress is watching and Martin was too much of a liability to have on the roster.

D-Lo Brown recently wrestled several dark matches for WWE. Management was reportedly impressed with D-Lo's performance and liked that he is a talented performer without a "musclehead" physique.

Rob Van Dam recently stated in an interview that he would be open to working for TNA Wrestling. He put over the benefits of TNA's lighter schedule and was very outspoken about his final months in WWE. RVD saw the writing on the wall when Bobby Lashley won the ECW title and the remaining glimpses of the original ECW died.

Probably not RVD because they would have said the better titles that he got or included Hardcore at the least so my money is on D'lo Brown.

and WWE decided not to hire D'Lo, so it must be him, he is an incredible performer, i remember him from the Nation of Domination with The Rock, Mark Henry, and Ron Simmons, I like his finisher D'lo Down

it aint gonna be test. i would like it to be RVD though cuz he was def entertaining but i havent heard from D-Lo in forever

When I read the headline I immediately thought of D'Lo. He's not the impact guy they need, but it's a start. He should come pretty cheap too.

hope d low comes to wwe some day
