WWE: Independent Wrestlers Who Need to Be Signed

Chuck Taylor

Age: 28

Key Strength: Versatility

Signature Maneuver: Leg-Hook Belly-to-Back Suplex into Piledriver

At the beginning of his independent wrestling career, Chuck Taylor was a YouTube sensation strictly known for his comedy-style wrestling. As his career has progressed, Taylor has developed a serious side to go with his comedic appeal.

Today, he’s one of the best independent wrestlers in the world.

A product of CHIKARA, Taylor has become a mainstay in some of the biggest independent wrestling companies in the world. He’s used a blend of sneaky athleticism and underrated power to put on high-quality matches in both singles and tag team competition.

Currently teaming with Trent?—formerly Trent Barreta of WWE—Taylor has become a legitimate face star in independent wrestling. That ability to play either a face or heel is what makes him so intriguing.

Perhaps the most significant development for Taylor has been the improvement of his physique into someone who looks like a legitimate threat. He’s listed at 6’1″ and knows how to turn heads in the ring by using anything from a Tope Con Hilo to a Crosston Crab.

WWE is building intriguing characters in NXT. Taylor fits perfectly into that vision as a versatile and moldable wrestler under 30.

It’s about that time The Kentucky Gentlemen gets a shot at the big time.
