Ryan “Rush” Galeone
This one’s a layup, as pinpointing Galeone as a big time prospect for 2016 after his performance in Beyond Wrestling’s “Tournament For Tomorrow 4” in November doesn’t take a lot of psychic ability, but it doesn’t change the fact that Galeone is on the rise. A regular in Beyond Wrestling and CZW, Galeone really stepped into the spotlight in the finals of TFT4, dominating a large portion of the match against David Starr, Lio Rush, and eventual winner Brian Fury. That, along with his performance the following month, was enough to draw the attention of Veda Scott, who’s apparently aligned herself with “Rush” after last month’s Beyond Secret Show.
The fact is, this 6’7” monster has a no-nonsense, smash mouth style that translates anywhere, and he’s poised to begin to fulfill some of the massive potential he’s shown for many years on the Indy circuit.
2016 Goals/Expectations: Galeone should be on the path towards matchups of much higher prestige in the coming months. Continue the roll, and pick up victories against a few more familiar names, and soon it’ll be Galeone’s name selling the tickets, rather than his opponents.
