» As reported over the weekend, there are four WWE developmental wrestlers in Florida Championship Wrestling that have a very good chance of being called up to the main roster in the near future. They are DH Smith, Eric Escobar (a.k.a. Eric Perez), Sheamus O’Shaunessy, and Drew McIntyre. In an update on the story, one of the four wrestlers previously named is booked to wrestle on a slate of WWE live events throughout the month May. Sheamus O’Shaunessy has been under contract to World Wrestling Entertainment for two years, but still has yet perform in front of a live WWE crowd. However, he will finally be getting his chance as company officials have booked him to appear on their shows next month. With his Irish roots, an obvious pairing or possible feud would be with fellow Irishman Finlay on the ECW brand. O’Shaunessy has actually acknowledged him before as he did an angle insulting him and ECW at a Florida Championship Wrestling television taping this past February.
