Ospreay only had like 6 matches and he put over people like Taven, Lethal, Martinez, White or Gordon. It isn't a ROH problem that they signed Will to a exclusive US deal and then he moved to Australia and Japan and wasn't even in the US that much. Will is a fantastic wrestler,` but has an special personality. He said every month a different thing about where he wanted to work (EVOLVE, WWE, ROH, NJPW...).

If he would have had more dates in the US, it would have been a different story, just like ROH did with Marty. And don't tell me Delirious didn't have plans for him bc they gave him the TV Title on his debut and he was trated as a big deal.
He actually had nineteen matches in ROH (seventeen if you don't want to count the Honor Rising shows because they were in Japan), and he actually beat both Gordon and White. Yes, Ospreay's sporadic appearances were a problem, but they still could have done some kind of story with him, even if it was just a series of matches with one guy that were mostly confined to major house shows like the NJPW shows, SCOH, and Manhattan Mayhem.
Yes, Delirious put the TV Title on him in his debut... but he took it away two nights later. Ospreay was certainly treated like he was a big deal because he is a big deal, but just because they treated him like he was important doesn't mean that they didn't do anything with him.

I think with Ospreay it's more a case of him comittment, it seems Marty did right off the bat, Ospreay though always felt like he was just there for part of NJPW relationship and when you are brining in someone from Japan, Australia/NZ regurly it's more expensive than travelling costs from the UK/US.

If Cobb is committing himself to ROH the same as Marty then he will receive everything he needs for a good push, plus he is US based so that is always going to play a part. In a way I think Cobb is too big a name to fuck around with really, whenever ROH has someone with a name I have never really worried about them, it's the ones with the talent that need their name built that tend to have the problem.

Observer:
Jeff Cobb debuts for ROH on the 7/21 tapings in Atlanta. He’s got four dates, which would be Atlanta, the 8/25 tapings in Philadelphia and 9/28 and 9/29 in Las Vegas. The impression we have is that he’s chosen ROH over Impact because he loves working for New Japan and with ROH he can get off if New Japan wants him for a tour while if he signs with Impact, they won’t stop him from working with anyone, but Impact tapings would have to be his first priority

PWInsider.com can confirm Gordon recently signed a two-year deal with ROH that will keep him with the company through 2020.

Observer:
Regarding Bryan and his contract situation, [WWE] has taken him off some weekend shows to lighten his scheduled as he asked, and we figured they would so they are working with him on that. But he hasn’t agreed to a new deal at this writing

Fuck off. G1 Supercard will be closed with the mother of all dream match moments:

Clean as a sheet, Jericho's putting Kazarian over in a singles contest.

Jericho appeared on today’s episode of James Ellsworth’s “#DuhCast” and said he’d be open to working for other non-WWE promotions if it’s creatively satisfying and something he can really sink his teeth into. He said he’s loyal to WWE, but the time of him saying he'll never work for anyone other than Vince McMahon in the United States is gone. Jericho said it’s a whole new world and different market than it used to be.

The relationships he's building while putting together his cruise.

Don Callis

G1 Supercard sell out of Madison Square Garden

Chris just overall being more concerned with having fun in life because he's set monetarily.

Jericho contradicts himself dozens of time per day. Nothing he says, especially on social media, should be taken seriously until it actually comes to pass.

I hope Pac is a surprise entrant in the Over Budget Battle Royal wins it and faces Lethal on the Main Card and Wins the ROH Championship. I know they are building Lethal vs Ospreay at DBD and already have that announcement in the can but they can make it a three way if need be.

No way there's an ROH title change on this card.
