More WWE & TNA News: House Shows, Thorn/ECW, Steiner

Though the person Kevin Thorn wrestled on last night's edition of ECW on Sci Fi appeared to be the typical nondescript, run-of-the-mill local wrestler WWE uses on TV when they need a jobber to put a star over, he is actually a former WWE star currently in developmental trying to get back on the main roster. The guy Thorn wrestled was K.C. James, who briefly had an unnoteworthy run on SmackDown last year when he was in a tag team with Idol Stevens with Michelle McCool as their manager. The team couldn't stay afloat after McCool was taken off the road because she got sick, and so they were sent back down to OVW. Anyway, James worked under the name James Curtis in the match with Thorn. James recently cut his hair, so that might explain as to why he didn't appear to be too familiar. He currently holds the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship with former TNA also-ran Cassidy O'Reilly.

This past Saturday's edition of TNA iMPACT's two hour reply scored a 0.5 rating.
