Jeff Cobb is one the hottest wrestlers on the independent scene and is currently a main stay on several different promotions such as New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Ring of Honor.
Cobb got a chance to sit down with the Baltimore Sun and talked about winning his first title in ROH, the World Television Championchip:
"It was very shocking that I did that on my first official night in the ring for Ring of Honor. It was pretty surreal, actually, that I could come in and win the ROH TV belt in my first official match for them. Just crazy. I guess it's a good sign. I didn't really realize it until the initially told me the plans. I didn't find out that I was winning the belt until Friday afternoon. I thought that was crazy. You can say stuff, but until it actually plays out, just going into the TV tapings and seeing for sure that I was winning, that's when it hit me."
Cobb also discussed choosing to work in ROH over other companies:
"I definitely want to wrestle more in New Japan. Ring of Honor has that great relationship with them. New Japan guys are on ROH TV, and ROH guys are out on New Japan shows. The schedules don't conflict that often. That's definitely a big factor that made me want to sign with Ring of Honor."
Cobb also reveals that he was in talks with Impact Wrestling and states his reasons for deciding not to sign a contract with the promotion:
"I had an Impact offer a couple of months ago. It just didn't really end up coming together, unfortunately. The New Japan thing definitely played a huge role in that. New Japan is something I really want to work with more, and ROH makes that possible. That was a tipping point for me."
