Get Better, Colt!
I’ve had to cancel off my shows this week.
A) can’t bend my leg
B) something about blood clots & flying
C) I feel like an asshole
Plz still go to the shows so they can afford to bring me next time. @beyondwrestling @WrestleCircus @WildKatSports @OutlawProWres pic.twitter.com/LagJ1WdYPm— Colt Cabana (@ColtCabana) June 18, 2019
I want to talk about a very exciting signing this week. Most people may think that I am talking about Jonathan Gresham getting resigned…but I am talking about Maria Manic.
After Jordan Grace was signed (officially) by Impact, I thought that Maria Manic was put in the #1 spot for female talent on the independent scene that was not currently signed to a major company. Well, that didn’t last long, did it? If you have not seen a Maria Manic match, you owe it to yourself to go and watch some.
While she is very talented, her specialties have been hardcore matches and intergender matches. These are two different types of matches that are not “mainstream” as of yet in WWE, AEW, Impact, NJPW, and ROH.
I am assuming that ROH will book Maria incorrectly, just like they have done with almost everyone the last seven months. The women’s division has never been booked well since the WOH title was introduced.
As a wrestling fan you need to have hope for better days ahead, though, right? So here is to hoping that we get a no DQ match between PCO and Maria Manic in the near future. Whether people love or hate a match like that, I can assure you that it would be the talk of the wrestling world if it happened.
