WWE Referee to join Legacy

WWE are starting to borrow ideas off TNA.


REF REVENGE

It appears that WWE is aiming towards putting referee Scott Armstrong (pictured above) with Randy Orton and his Legacy group.

On tonight's RAW, Armstrong counted to three in Orton's match against Kane when it clearly was a two count, as shown on the replays.

Armstrong, who would be considered as a second generation superstar, walked away from the ring like nothing had happened, whilst ignoring Kane's pleas.


REFACY

The current angle would reveal that Orton, Rhodes and DiBiase are employing the services of the second generation referee.

Armstrong is the older son of Bob Armstrong and the brother of Brad, Steve and Brian (BG James in TNA).

Armstrong has wrestled over the years but has refereed for WWE since 2006, after having stints with WCW and TNA.


FINAL THOUGHT

Having a ref, whom constantly screws over "Legacy"s opponents is a brilliant idea.

I sense a Referee Rumble coming up soon.

New Member in Randy Orton's "Legacy"

Word around Florida Championship Wrestling report that the next member of Randy Orton's legacy group is scheduled to be DH Smith, son of the legendary British Bulldog.

All plans for the return of The Hart Foundation with Smith, Nattie Neidhart and TJ Wilson have been scrapped.

For now.


WHERE HAS HE BEEN?

This comes as an extremely random choice, for many reasons.

First, DH Smith was involved in a recent "drug suspicion"

Smith was involved in a minor controversy over steroids, when, discussing how his father's drug abuse contributed to his death, Smith commented

"I hope to be as big as him someday"

leading to concerns over Smith using steroids.


Smith claimed that the remarks were taken out of context and that he had learned from his father's mistakes.


BRAND TOUR

DH Smith has officially done a "Brand tour" of the WWE.



RAW BRAND

DH Smith made his television debut on the October 22 edition of Monday Night Raw, in which he defeated Carlito using his father's trademark move, the "running powerslam."

He then dedicated the match to his father.

On October 29, Smith and Jeff Hardy defeated Carlito and Mr Kennedy.

On November 2, 2007, it was reported that Smith had been suspended for 30 days due to "violations of WWE's Substance Abuse and Drug Policy".

Smith returned to the active roster on December 17 by defeatingCharlie Haas on Heat.

After his return, Smith would wrestle primarily on Heat.

In April 2008, he began wrestling as a tweener, alternating between face and heel roles.

SMACKDOWN BRAND

As part of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft, Smith was drafted to the SmackDown brand.

He never made a debut on the show.

FCW BRAND

Smith, returned to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) on August 26.

He made the decision to return to FCW on a full-time basis so he could mature, and put more effort into developing his in-ring work and his personality.

On October 30, Smith won the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship with TJ Wilson, defeating Joe Hennig and Sebastian Slater, but they lost it to Tyler Reiks and Johnny Curtis on December 11, 2008 at the FCW television taping.

RAW REBOUND

Putting DH Smith back on Raw, with the assistance of Randy Orton would be the best thing for him.

Previously, he was rushed up to Raw. He had no motive, no storyline, no background to his character (besides being the son of British Bulldog).

FINAL THOUGHT

Now, being in a Third-Generation stable - things are looking good.

One might even say, Priceless.
