Independent wrestler Ricky Reyes received a WWE tryout last week at the SmackDown tapings from Wilkes-Barre, PA. Reyes had a long match with Tyson Kidd that got rave reviews from the locker room and lost a squash match against Ryback on SmackDown.

A lot of people backstage talking about Reyes and how good he was, especially William Regal. Don’t be surprised to see Reyes offered a developmental contract in the coming weeks.

For those that don't remember, Reyes was one of the wrestlers that got squashed by Ryback. They decided to give a hispanic man that has a giant R on his tights the name Brian Edwards for that squash match for some reason. Kind of like how they called Russia Alex Koslov, Carlos Sanchez but anyway.

I've been a big fan of Ricky Reyes since his run in ROH as the Havana Pittbulls. Great talent, great worker.

Reyes is only 5' 9" so expect a lot of "Vanilla indy midget" posts in this thread. Always glad to see good wrestlers possibly get a shot in WWE. Triple H has definitely been great at picking up talented indy workers. Reyes has trained in Japan and Mexico, I always say WWE needs to find well-rounded wrestlers who can adapt to any style. Here is his wiki.

If they sign him, they have to give him this gimmick...

I'm shocked that they were thrilled with him. He's had a few decent matches that I've seen but that's about it. I love indy wrestling but I'm not even that big a fan of him.

I was actually just wondering to myself what would happen to all the small guys Ryback was destroying.

He looks like he's built along the same lines as a Michael Modest: strong and compact, but still kind of small. He looks like one of those small guys who can do some surprising power moves.
