I'd take Kingston in a heartbeat have no problem with giving Rockett a chance, but we don't need another goofball running around.

Yeah he seemed to disappear after SCOH. Need more Dragon Lee in ROH. Heck, need more CMLL guys in general to roll through. How about an ROH/CMLL tour like they do with NJPW. Feature it in some markets that have a high Hispanic population. El Paso, San Diego, Phoenix would be great new markets for ROH to hit with the CMLL assist.

Exactly. El Paso has a Minor League Baseball Stadium, they should move the Field of Honor to El Paso and use CMLL Talent from now on. I thought they should have done it this year.

More Impact and WWE releases today. Not saying they should or shouldn't sign any of them, just passing the info on
Earl Hebner (TNA Hall of Fame referee)
Brian Stiffler (referee)
Sawyer Fulton (NXT talent)
Leo Gao (NXT trainee)

Looks like Impact may be hunkering down in Canada for good. They released literally all their refs and will be using local refs for the Ottawa shows.

Kind of harsh to release a TNA Hall of Famer two days before Bound for Glory.

Chris Jericho has reportedly been in talks to appear at Wrestle Kingdom since August — and it sounds like Y2J’s upcoming cruise may have factored into his decision to venture outside of WWE.

ProWrestling.com first reported weeks ago that Jericho had been in discussions with NJPW officials and the site claims the plan to wrestle Kenny Omega has been in place since mid-summer.

Furthermore, Chris Jericho talked about his upcoming cruise on Killing the Town recently and it may shed some light on why he’s working with New Japan/Ring of Honor.

The 46-year-old wrestler explained that he’s financially responsible for “Chris Jericho’s Rock-n-Wrestling Rager at Sea” and wanted to partner with a promotion for the wrestling side of things. Chris admits he tried to get the NXT brand to perform on the cruise, but was denied after months of talks. Chris then told Triple H he’d still be doing the cruise without them.

He also told Busted Open in March that he was unsure if he’d ever return to WWE.

Since the announcement that Y2J will be wrestling Kenny Omega at WK12 there has been massive speculation about whether Jericho is working in conjunction with WWE on this deal — since he’s long said it’s the only place he’d want to work — but all signs point to Jericho doing this on his own.

With ROH running the two arenas for the first two TV tapings of 2018 I think they could use the services of Jericho....book him maaaaaan.

A shame he couldn’t come in during his first hiatus and add his name to the List of Danielson.

I wonder if this whole thing has strained Jericho and Vince's relationship. With Vince signing Styles, Nakamura, and Gallows/Anderson, NJPW is going to hype the fuck out of this match between Omega and Jericho. It will be interesting to see what the reaction is going to be from the old geezer. Either way Jericho comes out of this looking like a genius.

That's probably the promotion in which his creative voice can be carried the most. Besides a serving in a role in NJPW that would be specially created for him, I think this is his best career path. Perhaps he can still even work shows.
