It was reported on the facebook page of GBG (Gothenburg) Wrestling that the GBG heavyweight champion Steinbolt worked a 2 day WWE try out in early May. This makes him the first Swedish wrestler to work one and if he gets signed he'd become the first Swedish wrestler signed to one of the big companies since Frank Andersson in the early 90's, not counting Sarah Backman, who had a brief stint in NXT recently. But Steinbolt comes in as an already trained wrestler who obviously wants this unlike Sarah who was an armwrestler and on the cast of Swedish Gladiators.
Pretty stoked. He's one of my favs on our scene. Real good heel and he has decent ring skills that are enhanced by him just getting match psychology real well.
