"Drafted" this week. Never heard of the dude but fuck he looks awesome and here's what Meltzer had to say when he was released from WWE a few weeks ago:

The response we heard is people were shocked he was cut so there must be a story that wasn’t well known or something. His wrestling name was Ezra Judge but he never made it to NXT television. His lack of success also shows how much wrestling has changed because he would have had two months of training and been put in main events had he come along in the 80s. Think about this, he’s bigger than Lex Luger, a better athlete than Luger, better or the same body as Luger (Luger could have never won the contests he won) and Luger was spotted and was main eventing day one after weeks of training because that’s what they did with guys like that in the 80s.

Anyone else notice Simon Gotch's name was not mentioned in the Contra Unit role-call in the latest Open Draft vid?

I actually haven't been watching the open draft videos at all lol but that sucks if so, I loved him in the group. Daivari gone too since he's resigned with WWE but that's not any real loss, he was cool while he appeared tho

Holy shit that's wild lol He was signed with WWE for like a year and a half I think but never made TV

 

[Hoss]

This man's physique is something else.

Even if he's just a decent wrestler that's a pretty solid snag by MLW to get a dude that looks like this when there are so few like him out there on the market.

Yeah when I heard he signed with WWE I couldn’t believe it.
