[Sad News] Matt Cardona (41) seems to see the writing on the wall and has been talking about his inevitable return to the indies.
>>20991834I don't get WWE re-signing these shitters again. Matt, Miro, who the fuck asked for these guys back anyways?? Why would they think it would go any different the 2nd times around? I hope Big Cass goes differently this time around, but I ain't holding my breath
>>20991834Jesus, Zack
He might win KWABOTY at this point. I understand Orton, now. He's so laughably pathetic. Owens even called him out on being an E-Drone in that pod with Cody. Basically obsessed with WWE-- even though he was making great money on the indies and didn't really need it. He sold out to go back and it probably won't raise his stock at all (if anything, it's gonna lower it). It's funny because Cody told him in like 2016, to fucking leave with him and that he has the connections to get him to ROH/NJPW but Ryder wanted to stay at catering.
>>20991851I wanted Zack back, not Matt.
>>20991851Buddy next.
>>20991851If you spend enough time on AEW TV you're guaranteed a WWE contract
>>20991851they signed matt cardona to sabotage JCW.
idk the landscape enough, would indy god even hit the same if he tries to do it again?
>>20991834He nuked his career and character for a whiff of WWE air.I hope he can make it work in WWE
>>20991851I wanted the Corbinmeister back desu, and I would like Ziggler back. Good hands like those guys and the Miz are worth keeping around. Midd Cardona was never that at any point though.
He claims to have been making more money on the indies but yet was so desperate to get back to being a jobber
>>20991851no one wanted Mid Cardona, we wanted Zack Ryder. woo. woo. woo. you KNOW it.
>>20992093This.We wanted Long Island Iced Z back.
>>20992002People get way too caught up in their console warring shit. Why the fuck would anyone stay on the indies when they could sign a WWE contract regardless of however long it's for? Why would he not get back in there and get back on tv and get the merch which has all happened already and make his money and get that level of exposure again? If he gets released tomorrow it will do more for his next indie run than just staying on the indies ever would have. I promise you there's no an indie wrestler alive who wants to be on the indies
>>20992093Kek, the shitter thought he was gonna do a "from undesirable to undeniable" shtick like Cody. Nah faggot we actually LIKED your "slave" gimmick, not the real you
>>20992108Again I hope he makes it work in WWE.He begged to go back, got brought back and nuked the character he built over several years to do it.
>>20992111Nice trips also watch his return against Kit Wilson. The crowd pops for Zack Ryder's theme then once it shifted to his Matt Cardona shit you could hear a pin drop kek
>>20992108Didn’t Matt bail on his bookings after being signed instead of fulfilling them, which WWE has let people do for like 15 years? Indie feds don’t really like that
>>20992108it's called not being a fucking sellout
>>20992119>and nuked the character he built over several years to do it.How though? The entire point of his indie gimmick was that he was the ex-WWE guy stuck on the indies and him rubbing that in their faces with the Indie God and the death match shit. That character could never exist in WWE because it'd make no fucking sense there
>>20992145It's not selling out if it's something you actually want to do you fucking retard
>>20992135>bail onYou make it sound like he no-showed. If he canceled and let them know he wasn't doing them then that's all the courtesy needed. It's a fucking indie show
Matt constantly complains on his podcast now about not being able to do Whatnot and conventions and stuff for money, I’m curious what he’s actually making in WWE
Wasn't he just talking about being a champ last month
>>20992156then he's a fucking poseur for coming to the indies just to earn his props before throwing it all away the moment the big corporation came calling
>>20991834>Talks about rejoining WWE all the time>His wife gives him Nick Khans number >Nick 100% low balls him thinking he won't take offer>Takes it because he's a Fed mark>Straight back to being a jobber undoing 5 years of goodwill on the indies>Will now be released back in to that environmentHe did it to himself
>>20991834i think it's very, very clear that cardona only got re-hired as a favor to chelseathere is no desire for his indie character in WWE, there would be some for zack ryder but he doesn't wanna do that
>>20992169Holy shit you're such a fucking mark. I'll reiterate since you didn't seem to grasp it the first time. There is not an indie wrestler alive who wouldn't immediately sign with WWE or AEW if the offer was there. Not. A single. One. If they tell you otherwise or try and make it seem like they wouldn't they're lying to your ass and working you because they know damn well and good that neither company wants them and the offer doesn't exist for them to turn down. Do you think the waitress actually likes you too?
>>20992182>i think it's very, very clear that cardona only got re-hired as a favor to chelseaI don't think that's true at all. Chelsea had been back in WWE for years by the point he got re-signed. If anything she was still on one of her previous WWE runs while he got released the first time. If it was anything it was the Cena tournament that they brought him in for. They re-released a bunch of Ryder merch and things must have meshed well enough that the pieces fell in place for it
>>20992180This, the only reason he's there is because they were doing Chelsea a favor. He's basically just being paid to travel with his wife. He's a moron if he thinks he wasn't a nepotism hire. He's the male Brandi in AEW
>>20992108He was making more on the Indies, he even admitted it. He's just an E-Drone-- and always wanted to come back. He basically thought they'd give him the Cawdy treatment and roll out the carpet for him and admit they were wrong, but he's back at the same level he was before he left and probably making the same amount. It's embarrassing.
>>20991871K I agree with you on that. I wanted the Deathmatch King on WWE, not whatever the fuck his or that is right now on TV.
>>20992224Chelsea hates traveling with him though and refused to even share a room with him for months
>>20992255
>>20992255That's not surprising though. Wrestlers get into routines and habits and imagine traveling alone each week and doing your thing. You see your spouse at home when you're there and then you're off to do it all again. Now all of a sudden they're there and now you've got to mix schedules and routines and change accommodations and everything like that. If it's something you're used to that's one thing but yeah. The inverse is true too where say someone gets hurt and now they are home all the time when they're usually only be there a few days a week. That will disrupt the current relationship dynamic as well. It doesn't have to be a negative thing. Up to how the couple handles it. But it can be
>>20992183>blah blah blah people with integrity don't exist because everyone is as self centered as me
>>20991962this, to fuck with russo
>>20992235>He basically thought they'd give him the Cawdy treatmentNo he didn't
>>20992273>people with integrityYou're saying this about professional wrestlers by the way. Indie wrestlers no less. Whoever it is that you have in your head as this paragon of virtue has got you worked like a goddamn fool
>>20992255>keeps calling her hot wifedoes he know or
>>20992166I finally figured it out. It wasn’t Miz that agreed to the pay cut, it was Matt Cardona!!!! He’s that stupid to say yes.
It always amuses me that during the time he tried to join AEW that Tony was throwing out contracts left and right even to people like Abadon but wouldn’t sign this shitter.
>>20992315Edge even got him a booking during his TNT title open challenge run. Cardona is just a WWE guy through and through though. He wouldn't have fit AEW
>>20992289huh what u mean
>>20992145Okay tranny
self made millionaire, having a custom built Florida mansion with a toy room, a 10/10 champion wife, a seven figure collection of loose and graded memorabilia, ownership in two businesses and two separate runs in the big leagues btw
>>20992289Oh he know. ;^)
>>20993067All that and he's Stevie Richards-tier pathetic.
>>20991834He's literally done nothing since coming back. No angles no storylines. Just a few jobs and a segment with Danhausen
>>20993161He was a huge part of Randy and Cody's storyline leading into Wrestlemania. Do you watch the product?
>>20993172Lol lmao
>>20993067This part>>20993112Is he? Jesus Zack. Last I checked he's still getting paid to wrestle for WWE. Not sitting at home on youtube trying to ragebait people into giving him views
>>20993067I know that’s fucking right
>>20993067>self made millionaireIf he was a self made millionaire he wouldn’t have had to carny for every penny when he was on the indies you moron. He wouldn’t have begged WWE to sign him in every interview because he needed a steady paycheck.
>>20991851Cody and Cena are buddies with him and politiked to get him rehired for an easy payday. Cody tried to do the same back in AEW but Matt somehow managed to out-autism Tony.
>>20993067Clock that
