Former WWE Wrestlers, Where Do They Go? Why Japan!!!

**wh park** · 03-27-2005, 02:48 PM

So in case some of the wrestling fans on this board were wondering whatever happened to people like Johnny Stamboli, Jamal, Taka Michinoku and Albert... wonder no more.

Many of the cut WWE wrestlers go to Japan and most of them join ALL JAPAN PRO WRESTLING (though Jamie Noble went to New Japan and wrestles under his real name of James Gibson).

Most of the ex-WWE guys form two heel gaijin (foreigner) factions, RO&D (which stands for ROUGHLY OBSESS & DESTROY) and THE VOODOO MURDERS.

These guys are currently feuding with each other as well as with the regular All Japan roster.

Here are some pics:

Oh yeah and Albert/A-Train made his debut recently and is going by the impressive handle of..... Giant Bernard!!! BWAHAHAHA!!!

Oh yeah Rico....

Same with D'Lo Brown he's in RO&D.

And I'm trying puroresudvdsource.com for the first time coz they have a good rep and the prices are amazingly low.

Edited for spelling.

Nice pics;

(Other than Albe3rt's man-boobs.) I think the real question is WHY DID JAMAL GET RELEASED FROM WWE? I've never been able to get a good answer for that.

Well Jamal had that whole threatening to kill an off-duty police officer incident which I think made Vince and Jim Ross a little peeved. Mind you it's probably for the best as he's a huge star for All Japan now.

And paydays in Japan are ok but nothing like the glory days of the 80s and 90s. I'm not exactly sure what gaijins get paid but depending on how big of a star you were before sets your value in Japan.
