Mike Bennett on WWE's Perception of Indy Wrestling Talent

If banding together independents would help them as a whole and the state of independents as a whole today: "I think that’s would be a great idea and that would be wonderful. I think that’s the biggest problem with independent wrestling right now; with the exception of recently, that’s why the WWE didn’t look at independent wrestlers and independent promotions, because for every really good promotion, there was 10 or 20 really crappy promotions and I think it stems down to the ego of a lot of guys. They don’t know how to just shut up and know their role; if so-and-so gets mad at a promoter, and they go ‘Well, I’ll show you.

"I’ll go start my own promotion’ and then they’ve got their core group of crappy guys and then so-and-so gets mad and says ‘Well, I’ll show you, I’ll go start WWXCXYW’ and then it just snowballs from there. I think the idea of everyone banding together and putting on one really good show is theoretically there but I don’t think it would ever happen, because too many guys in wrestling have egos and it’s really sad because you tend to notice the guys that have the biggest egos shouldn’t have the egos."
