The WWE has tried to create a Mikey Whipreck character awhile. Ellsworth came the closest to success with it and they really didn't know where to go after the initial push. I mean its the same issue Mikey had awhile. Til they hit on the aspect of making him a crazy person and pairing him with Sinister Minister. In fact If I was Impact I'd sign him , dye his hair red and make him go bonkers over his release. And use the Sinister Minister. It could be a fun homage to that. (Plus Mitchell is honestly a great heel manager and should have a job)

I don't think it's just ego. I'll wager there's plenty of hard data showing the McMahons are solid ratings draws.
And to their credit, their usage has been pretty minimal in the last few months apart from Shane. Though that likely will change as we approach Wrestlemania season.
unless they swapped out the chip, daniel utterly no-sold the one chip challenge.
I doubt Ellsworth signs with Impact since they already have a pretty full X-Division going right now. James'll probably stay busy with his own fed while taking bookings here and there.

They haven't signed every ex-WWE guy. Anthem seems to have a very select range now on guys . You can say that 2 of the guys from NXT that they hit gold on was ...Eli Drake and ECIII. Both guys weren't doing much in those gimmicks they had there and once in the company they have done very well.
