According to DothanEagle.com, former WWE developmental talent Chad Stoops has launched new wrestling promotion called "The Wrestling Experience," and the promotion ran its first show earlier this month. On the subject of training at an indy school rather than signing with WWE or TNA right off the bat, Stoops had the following to say:

"A lot of guys come into the business these days with so-called wrestling companies," Stoops said. "They pay these guys money to train them for a couple months and throw them to wolves. If you ever get looked at by WWE or (TNA), you probably won't get a second shot at it."
