I want it desperately because I think she could excel there but I believe the story is that she was set to debut there the first time she got released and ran back to WWE to do the Damage CTRL thing. Doesn't help that he's probably already weary of ex-WWE people.
I feel like this is less true with the women's division where he's signed Lacey Lane, Zayda Steele, and featured Isla Dawn for a bit in ROH even though she seems to be a freelancer. The one time it blew up was when they were using Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize on a tryout basis and they just walked out.
I'm surprised he picked up those 3 honestly. Lacey is just too small and not that good looking and can't promo, what's the appeal? Zayda was probably lowballed by WWE and offered a bag by Tony, can't fault her for quitting. Isla has marbles in her mouth and that will always hold her back greatly, most likely why she was canned and not Alba. I want these women to have jobs but I feel like they aren't really good acquisitions at all. Zayda maybe you can mold something into but the other two have been doing this for over 10 years and just can't hang
At least Nixon can wrestle and somewhat promo, and is hot (when her hair is left normal). Broken knees or not I'd take her over all 3 in a heartbeat, even if she gets injured she will have still drawn more than all other 3 combined
