The world of professional wrestling is a strange one indeed. Not many industries have an undisputed industry leader in terms of size and reputation. Indeed, not many industries are as terrifyingly dominated as pro graps is. Coca Cola is one of the biggest companies in the world, but when it comes to fizzy drinks people are also aware of Pepsi and others. When it comes to wrestling and the majority of the mainstream, WWE is wrestling. It would add up that the goal of any (Western) professional wrestler would be to make it to the WWE. Many heralded independent stalwarts have made it with great success, especially over the last few years, but WWE can also end up moving careers squarely towards the mud, where incredible performers get bogged down in McMahon's self-defeating booking and general schlong-waving. Since being wished the best in their future endeavours, a number of superstars have reinvented themselves on the independent scene. Chris Hero's (Kassius Ohno) reintegration into the world outside of WWE was no great surprise, but the success of Drew Galloway (Drew McIntyre) and Brian Myers (Curt Hawkins) has given both of those gentlemen a new lease of life. Even less heralded individuals like Chris Mordetzky (Chris Masters), Catrina (Maxine) and Ethan Carter III (Derrick Bateman) have blossomed away from Stamford.
