During the summer, POWW Entertainment ran an outdoor wrestling show at Elk Grove Days. Several POWW legends participated, including Mike Caputo.
Perhaps better known as "The Lost Soul" Chris Cairo, Caputo is a POWW Hall of Famer. In November, he was inducted into the POWW HOF, along with his tag mate Kanoa. A multi-time CCW?POWW tag champ, Cairo was hugely popular. What he lacked in size, he made up for in gimmick, talent and charisma.
I first met Caputo about 15 years ago. I hadn't seen him in action in several years. He looked in ring shape. More importantly, he had not lost a bit of charisma or personality. The crowd loved him. It was great to see him in action.
Guys like Caputo are what makes indy wrestling fun. While he was never going to make it big in the WWE, Caputo was a good worker who helped build POWW. Actually, in today's big leagues of wrestling with multiple companies and divisions, I have no doubt Caputo could have been signed.
