– During a recent edition of Developmentally Speaking, wrestler Michael Tarver recalled his time in the WWE developmental system. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Michael Tarver on walking into a WWE SmackDown taping unannounced and getting a tryout: “I just walked right in. Of course, that’ll never happen again, but I walked in, got in the ring, tried out, was immediately pulled out (…) where he sent me to OVW.”
On his time in OVW before going to FCW: “It was a lot of fun. Very competitive. Fun times. A lot of guys that went on to become world champions and big superstar were all there, you know, and I got to learn from them and work with them; made some friends. And it was a great time, it was an exciting time.”
