- Showbiz Ireland is reporting that Dublin wrestler Sheamus O'Shaunessy has signed a 3 year developmental contract with WWE. We've actually reported on this a few times in the past few months. Sheamus told Showbiz Ireland: "The news is only breaking now that I've signed a 3 year deal with the WWE. It's actually been in the bag for a while but there's been rigorous medical checks and the whole US Working Visa process to go through - so until all of that got sorted out there was no point in making a big noise about it."
Sheamus, who is 6 foot 6 inches is set to begin training at Florida Championship Wrestling in Tampa on 9/17. Recently released WWE talent exec Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci was initially the one who brought Sheamus to WWE's developmental territory in Florida.
- Slam! Wrestling has a new article on rising superstar Claudio Castagnoli. The article mentions his work with Ring of Honor and notes that his 2006 developmental deal with WWE didn't result in a full time contract.
