Abraham Washington: the name ECW fans should remember...

ECW has been home to some new stars looking to make big deals out of themselves before jumping to Raw or Smackdown, but how many of them have been, well, non-wrestlers? It's not so easy to say what the answer is, since there probably aren't many. Well, one has just stepped on the scene and is poised to make a big splash in ECW along the lines of entertainment. His name is Abraham Washington. He owns his own talk show. He's been making waves on said show for a bit, almost pitting the Bella Twins against each other, and even coercing Tommy Dreamer and Christian to slap each other a week before their title match, possibly putting their friendship in danger. Those are some pretty big results for only a month or so of appearances. But is Washington really limited to this much? I don't think so. Let's take an inside look at make an analysis from there.

Once again, it's Wikipedia to the rescue when we want to learn the truth. Abraham's real name is Brian Jossie. He debuted for the WWE farm system, Florida Championship Wrestling with no real gimmick or personality. As he lost matches to the likes of Taylor Rotunda, he was re-invented as Abraham Washington. However, his full name was Abraham Saddam Washington. He then switched it to Abraham Obama Washington, as a parody of president Barack Obama and he began his coup as FCW General Manager, surrounding himself with a gang of tough wrestlers, forming the faction, "The Secret Service". This group consisted of himself and the wrestlers Agent T, Agent D, and Agent J. After which, he appeared on ECW as Abraham Washington, but not as his FCW entity, but as a swinging, shallow television talk-show host. He has his own show, The Abraham Washington Show, which appears on ECW as often as possible, and what I mentioned earlier with the Bellas, Christian, and Dreamer has happened on that show. Good start for Washington.

Now, I postulated that this might not even be the final stop on Abraham Washington's rise to stardom. So, he can run a t.v. show, but is it possible that he can run a brand? I think so. In my opinion, he may very well be the perfect candidate for GM of ECW. Now, I know what you're thinking. Why should he get the spot since he has had no experience running anything administratively? Here's a point for you: how much experience has Tiffany had? None. She was an assistant. She didn't make any crucial decisions. She just had a good idea or two every 7 weeks and was a proponent for male attention. Also, here's a better and more recent example. They have celebrities hosting Raw, doing whatever they want. If you think about it, Washington is a celebrity, even if it is in his own right. If there can be success found in a different celebrity host of Raw every week, why not find success in a celeb running or hosting ECW permanently? Logistically, that should make sense. But then again, it's the wrestling world. You have to expect anything I guess.

Now, maybe the GM idea is a little too lofty for Washington. So then what? He could be a manager of wrestlers if that makes sense. One such person that can benefit from Washington is Ezekiel Jackson. Jackson can use a good mouthpiece and Washington can be just that. If anything, Washington can do a good job talking, and for someone who doesn't do much talking, that could be very helpful.

I know this is not much of an analysis, but that's only because not much has been done with Abraham Washington. That's not to say that he can't do more with his career. This is a chance for ECW to realize a star with potential. This is a chance to get a non-wrestling personality and do something great with him. Washington is destined for big things, and can do more to add to the entertainment value of ECW, or at least its quality. I would prefer if he was the new GM, but only time will tell. Until then, all we can do is tune in to the next Abraham Washington show and find out.

He's cocky. He's arrogant. He's remotely funny. He's got a knack for causing trouble and a gift of gab. He has the tools he needs to be a manager, and maybe, with enough ambition, the tools to run ECW. He's Abraham Washington, and he may very well have the finger on the pulse of ECW before all is said and done. Now, that's entertaining.
