Developmentally Speaking

[wrestlingrecap]

Brian Myers (Curt Hawkins in WWE) hosted Developmentally Speaking where he’d talk to other wrestlers who came up through the WWE’s developmental system. Whether it was OVW, FCW, NXT, or Deep South, they all have stories. In the first installment, Myers talked with Colt Cabana, Tommaso Ciampa and Chris Hero.

Cabana came up through OVW. Ciampa was in OVW for a period of time, and Hero competed for NXT. Here’s what we learned from their developmental experience.

I like the part about the Usos pretending they didn't have any previous training when they started with WWE's system so that it would look like they were picking things up really fast.

Cabana was given the option of OVW or Deep South and decided OVW because it was five hours from home and he had heard of Bill DeMott and the horror stories. Cabana got a $2,000 moving check and it cost him $50 to move. He packed everything in his car and waited for everyone to get fired and took their furniture. In fact, Cabana took Ciampa’s Lazy Boy chair. He took Jack Swagger’s couch and took Mike Mondo’s bed.

I feel like if Cabana died, this would be his obituary. It is the most Colt Cabana thing I have ever read in my life.

This sounds interesting but it means I'd have to listen to Colt Cabana so I'll just stick to this thread and see the cliffnotes

I enjoy most of them. Going to do them all, eventually. Haven't seen the Kevin Thorn one.
