WWE Copies Indy Wrestler's Gimmick?, Raw Star Visiting ECW, CM Punk To OVW

Posted on by bamdj

— As reported earlier, WWE developmental wrestler Brian Jossie is doing a gimmick in Florida Championship claiming to be the first black president of wrestling. He recently debuted the gimmick under the name “Abraham Obama Washington” and is also trying to emulate Barack Obama’s appearance. As it turns out, an Ohio based indy wrestler by the name of Lamont “Action” Williams has been doing the very same “First Black President of Professional Wrestling” gimmick for about a year.

A brief bio on Lamont “Action” Williams reads: “Crooked Barack Obama Spin-Off – Since there is going to take a “Black Man” to repair this country in dispair, then it is obvious that it will take a “Black MAN” you help restore the attendance, credibility, and Entertainment value of Professional Wrestling.”

He also says Presidential-like phrases in his promos including: “NEW “Black Party”, “Vote or BE CHOKED” Campaign 08, “We need Change, and for change we NEED ACTION…Lamont “Action” Williams, “The Reason You watch Professional”, “The Best Thing Since Wrestling”, and “Greetings my fellow FANS and Constituents….”

He also wears red, white and blue tights with stars on them.

Williams has been doing the gimmick in the Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling promotion for about a year in hopes of nabbing a deal with WWE. You can see his picture at the following link. You can also see a video of him wrestling here.

Identity Of Randy Orton's "Wife" On Raw Last Night, Developmental Diva Released

— As noted earlier, the woman who portrayed Randy Orton’s wife Samantha on Raw last night was not his real-life wife. The woman who played his wife is actually a model by the name of Laura Croft, a former Playboy model who appeared in the July 2008 issue. Croft is from the Jacksonville area.

— As reported earlier, WWE officials were upset with former developmental wrestler Patrick Brink getting tattoos without authorization over the holidays, (which he mentioned in his blog on his MySpace account discussing his release from the company). It’s interesting to note that a woman in developmental by the name of Saylor James was let go awhile back after getting tattoos without permission. James is 23-year-old Catalina White, a bikini model from the Miami area that was signed to a contract sometime last year. She debuted in Florida Championship Wrestling in the fall, but mysteriously disappeared around January or so.

— Speaking of Florida Championship Wrestling, they will be running a number of shows in the Orlando area within the next few weeks as they have shows scheduled for 3/13 in Eustis, Florida at the Lake County Fairgrounds Expo Center, 3/20 at the Orlando Armory, and 3/21 in Deland at the Volusia County Fairgrounds Tommy Lawrence Arena.
