Matt Sydal is rapidly becoming the hottest free agent on the independent scene. Sydal had in-ring tryouts with WWE the week of the Benoit tragedy and was going to work for TNA but had has his appearances cancelled because of conflicts with his touroing schedule with Dragon's Gate in Japan. ECW Creative Head Dave Lagana is pushing for Sydal to be signed and put in ECW.

Hmm, interesting. I'm not a huge fan of Sydal, but he is a talented high flyer, so I wouldn't mind seeing him get signed.

He'd do really well on Smackdown

he sells like a pro. Even if they do nothing with him (which is my prediction if it happens), he can keep a paycheck as a good jobber.

I always thought he'd be awesome as a heel counterpart to Rey Mysterio. The Venom to Mysterio's Spider-Man, basically.
I was starting to dislike Sydal over the past few months, but his recent heel performances have restored my faith in him as a worker. He's just too perfect as a heel.

I love Matt Sydal...don't want to see him leave ROH, but if he goes then best of luck for success in WWE or TNA or wherever.

Im happy anytime a top indy talent has the chance to go get a real paycheck regularly.
Good job, hope he gets signed.

You know, of all the times for people to scream too small, this is a perfect one to do.
No offense to Sydal, who's a damn good wrestler in his own right, but he's not a WWE type guy. Unless they plan to use him as a replacement for Rey Mysterio as the undersized underdog type character since they can't get Mystico, he'll just be a random SD guy and possibly find a tag team eventually.
But it's still good that he's got a shot at making some good money finally.

I'd hate to see Matty go, but he's tailor made for the X-Division.
He could probably do pretty well for himself on ECW, too.

Matt Sydal will team with no more than 8 different people in three months.
And the 9th person he teams with, he'll win the WWE Tag Team Champions with.

I always thought he'd be awesome as a heel counterpart to Rey Mysterio. The Venom to Mysterio's Spider-Man, basically. As cool as that would be, it wouldn't happen as Sydal would totally outshine Rey, which WWE can't have. WWE have access to the world's best highflying cruiserwieghts, yet the division is filed with guys like noble and chavo, who are more ground based. The only exceptions are kendrick and london, but they're stuck in the tag division. There's only room for one small high flyer in WWE. |

I remember seeing this guy in 2000 at an indy show when he was know as Big Matt. Either way I would like to see him on TV in general whether it be ECW or TNA. My only concern is just like Teddy Hart his style doesn't go well with the WWE "safe style".

Why Sydal and not somebody ... interesting?
I mean, he's good at the high flying junk and all, but he's got Roderick Strong levels of charisma.

Sydal is darn good, but he'll never be more than a jobber if he signs with WWE. He's just too small. I hope I'm wrong as I always like to see talented guys like him get a shot at the big time, but I don't see a bright future for him in WWE.
