WWE Hall of Famer Edge recently gave the following endorsement to independent wrestler Steven Walters, who recently won a wrestling scholarship by BumpDrunk.com:

"Steven is the first and most likely only guy outside of WWE who I’ve kind of taken under my wing. If I didn’t think he was a great kid with a great attitude I wouldn’t have anything to do with him. I wish there was something like this when I started. I think it’s great for companies like BumpDrunk to invest in guys like Steven. They’re the future of the business. Without them, there is no business. I hope Zero-1 is prepared to have their door blown off the hinges."

As the first winner of Bumpdrunk.com’s SHOGUN scholarship, Walters will be heading to Japan's Zero-One promotion to learning through intense competition with various Japanese legends.
