WWE Interested In Two Top Indy Wrestling Stars

Both have received WWE tryouts in the past.

World Wrestling Entertainment officials are apparently interested in two top indy stars that have previously tried out for the company: Rich Swann and Biff Busick. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, both men are "strongly on the radar" and could be signed soon. Swann attended a WWE tryout camp last September while Busick attended a camp earlier this year. Swann is about 5'6" and 165 pounds, so he's on the small side, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in athleticism. He's only 24 years old with six years of experience already, so he has a very bright future. He's worked for companies like CZW, PWG, Dragon Gate and Evolve as well as indies all over the world. Busick is 6'1" and 215 pounds and he's 29 years old. He was trained by Lance Storm and is considered a very good technical wrestler. Just like Swann, he's worked CZW, PWG, Evolve and other indies around the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dghGz4fud1k As mentioned, both wrestlers have worked for Evolve, who are said to be in talks with WWE about developing talent in a deal that has been discussed for several months now. During his conference call this week, Triple H said that they would sign any wrestler from anywhere if they thought they were a good fit. It's also been noted in the past they were interested in guys that weren't on television shows regularly already, so Swann and Busick are perfect fits in that regard.
