Shane Helms took to Twitter today, saying he wanted Mike Awesome to be part of his WWE superhero stable. Helms posted the following photo of himself, “Mighty” Molly Holly, and Mike Awesome. He said he wanted Awesome to join the team as “Captain Awesome”,
“I once pitched for Mike Awesome to be a member of The Hurri-League. My idea was that I’d constantly refer to him as Captain Awesome, which would drive him crazy until he eventually either went along with it or just completely snapped.”
When a fan said that wrestling doesn’t need creative team writers, Helms replied with,
“Not true. A creative team is still need to structure a show, any show! Talents usually have good ideas for themselves but not so much everyone else. & some Talents idea of a good story is to just make themselves the Champ. Collaboration between Creative and Talent works best.”

It wasn’t really turned down. Lance and I kept teaming and it just got put to the side. They were trying a lot of different stuff with the WCW guys. It was sink or swim. If you didn’t get over and get over quickly, they moved on. The most stacked roster ever. https://t.co/X0OeB7p7cb
