Gargano to WWE?

[Andrew]

Rumors hit Twitter and wrestling message boards this weekend saying that top Dragon Gate USA star Johnny Gargano is on his way out of the company before this month is over. Gargano is scheduled to defend his Open the Freedom Gate Title at the July 27th DGUSA show in Michigan and the rumor is that he will drop the title then to Akira Tozawa.

The speculation is that Gargano will sign with WWE and be sent to their FCW developmental territory. He had a tryout with WWE last year that went well.


Gargano has been on WWE's radar for some time now. WWE was interested in signing a handful of DGUSA wrestlers - Sami Callihan, Brodie Lee and Gargano. Lee is currently wrestling in FCW as Luke Harper.

I'm a huge Gargano fan, if he heads over to WWE, I'm sure Sami Callihan and a few guys will follow. This will be awesome!

Gargano has been rather impressive since jumping into the bigger Indies. It was only a matter of time for him to take the next step. I didn't expect anything like this yet, though.

This is a huge blow for DGUSA if this is true, Gargano is a great talent for any roster. The man has unlimited potential, I can see a very bright future for him in the WWE.

Basically just agree with this. Really hope if he goes to WWE he keeps his "The Whole Shebang" nickname, best one in wrestling.

His WWE name will be, "The Big Bang" Gargan Johnson :sting:

I just checked him out on YouTube(I don't get to stay in too much touch with indy stuff) and holy balls is he impressive. Good pick up by WWE on this one.

Another vanilla midget to kill ratings.

 

[Dale]

Someone should post some meaningful stuff of his, never heard of the guy.

Agreed, they should just go get someone that couldn't make it into the NFL like Titus O'Neil instead

 

[AF.]

^ Me either.

 

[The Cork]

Brock Lesnar and Goldberg didn't cut it in the NFL either, point?

Brock Lesnar went to the NFL after WWE. Nothing wrong with Goldberg, glad you can name just one guy to prove your point. I'm just going to start letting ratings decide who I like and dislike in wrestling. Sin Cara and Alberto Del Rio drew huge last Raw, they're my new favorite wrestlers of all time for this week.

 

[The Cork]

You won't have a Raw to watch soon, USA will cancel it after all these Indy wrestlers landslide the ratings into WCW 2001 territory.

 

[Chris]

Yeah, it's a pity WWE is actually going after people who enjoy the business and wanted to do it their whole life.

 

[Derrick]

I agree with you Chris. Why the hell would someone want to sign young talented superstars? Rape me in the ass if USA doesn't cancel it.

It's not like USA decided to expand to 3 hours or something stupid like that.
