The Kings of Wrestling are one of the best tag teams going around today and have had great success in the indy circuit in companies like ROH, PWG, CZW etc. Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli are both great workers and my question is why haven't these guys been signed by either WWE or TNA?

They are superior workers, they are great as a team, they have a ready made gimmick, they are big guys (so WWE shouldn't be afraid of signing them) and to me it seems like they would be a great addition to either companies tag team division, both of which could use some help. These guys could be brought in as a tag team and then eventually work as singles wrestlers and I see it as a no brainer for WWE or TNA.

Obviously they would be missed from ROH and all the other companies but I just think that they are such top talent and seem like perfect signings for the bigger companies.

Thoughts?

I've been wondering why these guys haven't been picked up for a long time. Castagnoli looks exactly like what WWE wants, plus he can wrestle his ass off. Hero reminds me a lot of CM Punk, from his build to his style. I have no clue why they aren't a huge deal in WWE right now.

Well, Seak...

Hero apparently doesn't get a long with guys in the back so well (only what I've heard) but Claudio is fantastic more to the point, I think the question should be asked... Why haven't either these guys gotten a World Title yet?

As regards to the other two companies; I reckon they are on a good 75k a year in RoH so I can't see them wanting to leave a good company for two products which isn't really their styles, so naw... I don't want them in TNA or WWE tbh.

From everything I have heard Claudio has been held back by his mic skills. VInce doesn't think he could be a good promo man, and Hero is emotionally unstable and would be a risk.

Scott basically said what I was going to say. Hero is kind of a wild child, he would make a good career in the WWE as a heel though, and Claudio will be a top star in either company no doubt. Though I think they enjoy there time in the indy scence,

Also EOR isn't Hero a former PWG World champion?

I think Both are Actually, but I was more talking about their positions as top guns in Ring of Honor.

I'm pretty shocked though with people saying Claudio is held back by his Mic skills, I've always found them quite entertaining to be honest but that might just be me.

He is more held back because earlier we barely hear him talk. That is the only problem there, I like both men, and idk why they are not ROH world champions, as well with Colt Cabana.
