Loki Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 An anonymous indy promoter has done a Q&A on here Interesting stuff, including an assertion that Colt Cabana is on his way back to WWE.   Really interesting.

King Pitcos Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 It's a bit like if the games industry was just Call of Duty and a load of bedroom developers doing Call of Duty rip-offs. If people went off Call of Duty, the lads in the bedrooms would be absolutely ruined. Indie promoters are completely reliant on Vince McMahon making people like wrestling enough that they'd even spend money on smalltime imitations of his product. How did the indies manage in the Hart/Diesel/Michaels era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted December 8, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'm skeptical of him saying he drew $20k houses during the attitude era. How many big indies were there then? ECW? ECWA (and that wasn't exactly huge)? What elese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexy Dad Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Quite amusing that Teddy thought to put himself as the centerpiece of the poster consisting of former WWE stars and a former World Champion. I wonder how big of a crowd that will pull. Â As for the Colt Cabana video, hopefully its indicative of him signing. I think he'd make a fresh little change from Santino as despite being a bit of a Santino fan I do sometimes groan when his music hits. Plus, Colt has carved out quite a big following for himself and is in demand across the world at indy shows which is pretty impressive for someone with little TV exposure to be fair to him. It makes sense for WWE to have a guy that sells bucketloads of merch independently on their roster, he's more in demand than a hell of a lot of guys they already have from wrestling fans.

Â Lay off the lad, he's a Hart and if he's had much to do with organizing it, fair play to him. I'd definitely stump up a few quid to see that show. Â Shite, read a post wrong. My bad. Â Get out.

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted December 8, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 Given how rocky Cabana's relationship with WWE was last time, I wouldn't be surprised if things fell apart again at literally any stage, so if there's any future bookings he hasn't cancelled, I think he's just hedging his bets. Â Factoid: if Cabana does go back to WWE and wins the US title, he'll be the first man to have held the NWA and US titles since Terry Funk (Wiki counts the WWE and NWA/WCW US title as the same one).

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 8, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) PWLaptopAids reports: Don't be shocked to see some former WWE mid-card names returning to the company in the near future. In recent weeks, there has been a push from several top talents for the company to bring back some former talents that were released in the past but were solid hands. The word is that WWE management has taken the suggestion to heart as the company has never been so thin on talent across the board. We are told they are looking at bringing back some names that can populate the mid-card to work with younger names and help bring them along, as well as provide some solid work on the show. Â I am told there is a short list of potential names they are interested in, but the company has not yet begun contacting talents. That process could begin any time. Carlito and MVP are two of the names being battered about. I think its definitely something they need to do. Have recognisable names wrestle the Cesaros and Sandows of this world. Â MVP was talking on the Konnan podcast about going back after the New Year and was speaking like he could make big in WWE. He's 40 next year. You have to think they'd only be bringing him back to do jobs for a few years. Â And from the Observer: --There is a lot of talk about WWE.com putting a video on the Life and Times of Scotty Goldman on its web site. That was Colt Cabana's name for his brief run where they did nothing with him. Supposedly they aren't looking at bringing him back and it's just something they did for giggles, but we'll see. Considering WWE.com is ran by Joey Styles and a bunch of internet bummers, it usually has fuck all to do with they hiring people or the writing team.

Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted December 8, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 8, 2012 Fucking awesome. I'd definitely welcome that. Despite his age i'm still convinced MVP has what it takes to be a major player. Â Not keen on Carlito coming back, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
