Maybe you could call this an audition? There are a lot of wrestlers in the world and a lot of them don’t work for WWE. While a lot of them seem like that is their ultimate goal, there are some who are very happy without ever making it to WWE. That is the case with one wrestler mainly based out of Europe, but he took it a step further over the weekend with a literal stomp on WWE.
On Sunday night at OTT (Ireland) WrestleRama 3, independent wrestler David Starr faced WWE United Kingdom Champion Walter in the show’s main event. During the match, Starr threw the title down and stomped on it, earning a positive reaction from the crowd. It also earned him a hard shot to the face and a powerbomb from Walter, who went on to win the match. At the moment, there is no rumor about Starr coming to NXT UK or any WWE promotion.
It was quite the reaction. Check out the stomp and ensuing attack:
Opinion: Starr is an interesting case as he seems rather happy wrestling around the world rather than signing with one of the bigger companies. That allows him to do things like this without many ramifications. However, WWE might not be the most thrilled with the event and that could go badly for promotions that want to book Starr in the future. Or it’s just a big angle for a future NXT UK match.
