Just read that Brisco was at a college wrestling match this weekend to scout talent. To be fair Ziggler worked through FCW and Titus was a football
Player (he isn't great but fun)
There were some successes, but a lot of chaff was ground down to get that wheat. Those seasonal firings WWE used to do came from Ace calling guys up before they had angles for them, or before they were ready.
Great example: one Scotty Goldman aka Colt Cabana.
Colt is a shame. The guy gets the business an knows how to sell himself. He is a great comedy wrestler who can really go. Colt is one of my favorites in the business but I love comedy wrestlers so what do I know Go look up his matches as Matt Classic. He can not only wrestle well, he adapts the old school grappler style perfectly.

When he worked here in Milwaukee, my 1st reaction to him was meh, until I saw him get in the ring. The guy's as solid as they come. He and Punk did an hour broadway for us and it was damn good.
is he like a "WWE or bust" or has he ever shown TNA interest?
TNA thing is you kinda gotta be located in the area or just fly out once a week. Cabana doesn't want to work for either. He wants to remain independent.

Claudio and Colt have an awesome comedy match in Onterio that is pretty easy to find. |

Fun fact: Xema Ion is really from West Virginia. His mom's from the Philippines. He's also going to graduate from WVU soon.

He would go back to WWE in a moment. I heard him mention recently that TNA doesn't want him and ROH turned their backs. They told him "funny is not money". What is his deal with NWA Hollywood. Was him abandoning the title with Scrap a work? Or does he legit hate their ownership? He work as a cop in Juggalo rasslin a lot. He will go anywhere though. Can't wait for him to come to Mass again. |

Well, he hates them now. Basically, they pulled their sanction from the match right before it went down, thus screwing both him and the fans who paid to see an NWA title match. |

Can't wait for him to come to Mass again. The beef was with the NWA. CWF Hollywood left the NWA during the angle, and NWA wouldn't sanction their last match. So both Pearce and Cabana vacated the belt.

TNA has a chance to compete with WWE for indie talent. The schedule and pay must be real attractive.

gunnyhighway: TNA has a chance to compete with WWE for indie talent. The schedule and pay must be real attractive. The schedule's the big one. The pay's not spectacular if you're an indie guy (Several TNA talents work side jobs, especially the women.), but it's steady and you get to work as a pro wrestler.

Smiths: gunnyhighway : Hogan needs to get his kid off this show
yep. but so far she's been rather... mute. thankfully
i mean yeah she's involved but seriously i think her lines have been limited to like... 30 total so far this entire angle. like I said last week, the entire angle has taken less time than the Vickie/AJ/Cena shit took up at the Pay Per View. And it makes more sense, too.
