He had that one SmackDown with a great babyface reaction and then pretty much disappeared, I was sad

WOuldn't be surprised if he goes the McIntyre/Jinder route of working elsewhere and coming back in a few years.

That is, if he wants to keep wrestling. He's got other outside interests.

He's also older than they were

Apparently they said these 3 are the only ones that are leaving, so take that with a grain of salt.

I could be wrong of course but I feel like if WWE wanted Cardona back they've had a lot of opportunities to take him back.

Yeah he commented recently that he was pretty shocked WWE/AEW hadn't reached out. That sounds egotistical but he was pretty humble about it, seemed like he was genuinely surprised and wondering what else he needed to do. The Copeland match in AEW was like a success in all facets so I'm a little shocked there too but he did get injured not long after so that could have played a part.

Back to Indi tho lmao SRS had to clarify she was joking about that tweet bc they make sure talent knows before reporting

I think he might rub people the wrong way sometimes, but that is just my theory

I mean I dont think Cardona needs to go back to any other promotion tbh. Hes the king of the indies hes pretty much like the top indy star don't see a need def at his age and given all the different things he has on his plate to go anywhere.

now and days too you can still make a huge buzz make $ on the indies too as compared to say like 5- 10 years ago. I mean I think GCW prob bigger than it has ever been rn.

I don't get why we have to compare.

The Indy God gimmick not translating is fair to an extent but I've been a fan of Cardona enough to know that's not his persona, that's an adaptation he made bc he's good at figuring those out and I'm pretty sure he could do it again.

I think if WWE signed him and used him well he'd be a great midcarder, possibly an upper that can challenge champs but I don't think he'd ever get there but he'd never need to

Yeah but like it’s NWA, hardly anyone here watches it, hardly anyone at all watches it
Plus Corbin is the very last thing I want on my screen when I have to review NWA, ffs.
