On the actual subject matter, I don't know Cobb, but Riddle is going to be amazing. Such an a amazing natural physical charisma and personal style. He's like if Kerry Von Erich and RVD had a genetically perfect baby, still kicking myself for not getting a pic with him at my one, and only, WCPW event. With how well Juice has gotten over, Riddle could be a big star there. If you watch Lucha Underground, Cobb plays Matanza

Gotta say, I hope NJPW would help put Cobb on WWE's radar if he isn't already. I know they initially were iffy on him due to height, apparently, but that was some years ago. Now, well, he's obviously shown what he can do. I hope NJPW will let him further hone that, and the he doesn't do anything stupid like Shibata unfortunately did.

He's probably smoking weed right now. Matt's house is made out of weed. The tv, the sheets, the sink, everything is weed. Except the toilet paper. He'd never defile the herbery like that lol But this is huge. Cobb gets a nice big spotlight over there, as they love their monsters, and Matt will be a blast to the audience as a generic surfer guy.

In order to avoid any temptations.
A swat team will escort Matt at all times.

Can Riddle go nearly a month without weed? I don't think he can go an hour without weed. I'm happy for Cobb and Matt, but I'm also sad because by going to njpw it means Riddle is no longer wwe bound. I wouldn't say that much; they'd be going as freelancers for the WTL. Might lead to an offer for a deal if they impress and get over, but it could also be the panic button WWE needs to basically come in and nab him right there before Gedo can offer him a contract.

Does Matt Riddle have a move called "Riddle of Steel"? Because if he doesn't, he needs to get on that.

Matt Riddle is too nice. RVD's personality in a modern MMA dude? I'm so with it. Jeff Cobb is dope as well.

Riddle doesn't wear shoes.
I hope he never succeeds.

Matt Riddle vs. Minoru Suzuki has been a bit of a dream match for me, and now it might happen!

Yeah, plus it can genuinely add to the character. Like, I always lament UltraMantis Black went back to wearing wrestling boots. When he was going bare foot for a hot second it really added to his "Occult Mystic" side.

They look like either hillbillies or hippies. Neither of these are positives. 2. It makes no sense from a kayfabe standpoint. Oh, so this guy is a savage/hillbilly/whatever? So they had the discipline to learn wrestling moves, follow rules, make flights from town to town, put on wrestling tights and facepaint...but f***ing shoes are where they draw the line? THAT'S what is gonna make this believable? It's just stupid. 3. From the standpoint of someone who has been in the ring with these kinds of people...I don't want your god damn stank, sweaty foot all over my body, especially my face. It's gross as f***. Not to mention, these dudes hurt their feet CONSTANTLY. They're always stepping on something or stubbing their toe or slipping off the ropes...It's just an unnecessary risk that doesn't do ANYTHING to help you. It literally has no advantage. And again, it's f***ing gross. So yeah...I don't like shoeless wrestlers. From Kevin Von Erich to Umaga to Yokozuna, I can't stand them.

I wonder what the over/under will be that Cobb joins Bullet Club, takes the belt off Okada, or both.
