Jeff Cobb was recently a guest on X-Pac’s 12360 Podcast. It’s been an eventful year for the former Guam Olympian who revealed he’s about to hit the free agent market.
Cobb also said he is scheduled for the September 30th show in Long Beach for NJPW. “They haven’t announced me yet but I will be at the Long Beach show on the 30th,” Cobb said. “I’m not at liberty to say what else I’m doing with them the rest of the year but I will be hopefully more on New Japan World and all that fun stuff.”
Cobb, who wrestles as Matanza Cueto for Lucha Underground, said his contract with the promotion is up following this season.
“When the season is done, yes (finished with LU),” Cobb said. “I hope they don’t try to mess with me in the end but from what I was told going into season 4 is that I was good to go. I think if they try to get somebody else (to play Matanza Cueto), it wouldn’t be as good as the original.”
Would Jeff Cobb Go To WWE?
Cobb revealed he met with William Regal this weekend at PWG’s BOLA tournament. The annual 3-night tournament concluded on Sunday and will be available on DVD next month.
“So (Regal) watched my match with Darby Allin and I definitely picked his brain after. So there’s two guys backstage who I will pick their brains after my match, and it was William Regal and the other was Brian Kendrick.”
In terms of going to WWE, however, Cobb said he’d go if the offer was right but he’s happy with his current situation.
“If WWE came calling and all the stars aligned I’d definitely go,” Cobb said. “But right now I’m having a blast. I’m working 3 days a week and making a nice living.”
Cobb has also been seen on Ring of Honor television lately. He’s been disrupting matches in this year’s Top Prospect tournament.
