Random question -- Is Joey Daddiego still with ROH at this point?

My 9 year old son, who loves The Young Bucks, is completely offended by the WWE's actions. His answer? #BringBackTooSweet!
Kenny is listed on the Road to Power Struggle cards from October 29th onwards, teaming with Marty and Chase.
My line of thinking is more of with the Philly tv taping being on the 20th and The Road to Power Struggle starts on the 21st. It would leave an opening in Omegas schedule where he could work the tv taping, be visible on ROH tv for the next month and possibly build to something later in the year, possibly Final Battle. I haven't checked the NJPW schedule past the start of November.SandsShifter wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 9:08 amKenny is listed on the Road to Power Struggle cards from October 29th onwards, teaming with Marty and Chase.
Power Struggle itself isn't a finalized card.
That makes more sense.kovs27 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 10:37 amMy line of thinking is more of with the Philly tv taping being on the 20th and The Road to Power Struggle starts on the 21st.

AVC: You have a vast back catalog of wrestling footage. Can we expect a Ring Of Honor streaming service anytime soon?
JK: It’s in development right now. I would expect it to be around the first of the year or a little bit after.

AVC: How does New Japan’s entry into the U.S. market affect your business relationship with them? Do you see it as mutually beneficial?
JK: I love our relationship with New Japan as evidence by what we’re seeing in the center of our country this weekend. They’re a very viable, vibrant, robust promotion. They had a successful show in Long Beach and I was thrilled for it. We did a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff to help them. We have a very solid partnership, one that’s based on respect and integrity. Their philosophy and style of booking is very similar to ours. Together the two make for a stronger in-ring promotion. But they did two shows in U.S., and they have a nice clearance on AXS-TV. Not to take anything away from the quality and what they represent, but quite frankly, ROH has helped them in exposing their talent and exposing their people to a broader audience. We’re over-the-air carrier, you don’t need to pay to get us. If a New Japan star is working on Ring Of Honor television, they’re getting to see that for free. So I think the relationship is mutually beneficial.
You know, something I was thinking over last set of days is that I’m asked about WWE, I’m asked about New Japan. I get it. But I wonder if the press is asking in Japan whether Ring Of Honor is the reason why New Japan is so great. And I’m speculating in my mind, because The Bullet Club, The Young Bucks are American. Marty Scurll, English. Their success in New Japan is branded in a lot of non-Japanese wrestlers. So maybe on the other side of the world, maybe they’re asked the same question. Is it that New Japan is why Ring Of Honor is so good right now? Or is it Ring Of Honor because New Japan is so good right now? I don’t know that matters. What matters is we have a relationship that complements both promotions because everyone’s on the same page. That’s what everyone should be talking about: how to build a relationship, whether one is doing it for the other or not.
https://www.avclub.com/ring-of-honors-j ... 1819450908AVC: Professional wrestling in 2017 to me has a very specific look and feel. It has a rhythm, cadence, a set of innovative and explosive offensive set all its own. Where does ROH fit into this style?
JK: I think we are wrestling of 2017. When you see Ring Of Honor and that specific style, it’s more a brand more than a style.
If you change "Joe Koff" to "Dixie Carter" and "ROH" to "TNA" no one would be able to tell that this wasn't a legitimate TNA interview from 2012. That's no a good thing.Wilson wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2017 5:09 pm J**koff back at it again :

Not quoted are his involuted thoughts on the merits of ROH being an "indie" or not, which assumes half the interview.
Very cool to see this.famicommander wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2017 1:46 pm Saw this on the WOH twitter:
