Outlook - The indies produce a lot of guys who are hot for a time, don't hit it big and then they're practically old news. Christian York and Joey Matthews were not only good juniors separately, but they were talented as a tandem. After getting a shot in dying ECW and being given WWF Developmental deals, York & Matthews seemingly flopped in the system and haven't been able to recover. The collective stock of these two seems to be dropping daily. One has to assume they'll chances because they're in that collection of stars who are able to pick up work simply because they got shots.
