ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

[supersonic]

Observer:

Regarding Neville, while he’s said nothing publicly and WWE has told us that he is free and clear to work anywhere he wants, when he has been contacted by promoters, he has said that he can’t accept dates yet but will be able to very soon

Visa issues perhaps?
Maybe that could be what broke the camel's back with WWE. Maybe his work visa expired and they wouldn't help him with it?

Andrew Everett was granted his release from Impact. Would love to see him back in ROH.

[TYFDK]

I know he'd Dwarf most the roster but I think it's time for Marco Corleone to return to the USA.

I believe he is either injured or done with wrestling. He moved back to the US and relinquished the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship.

Why did nothing ever come out of David Starr's appearances last year?

Starr said in an interview (I apologize for not having a link, I remember reading this months ago) that ROH wanted him to sign an exclusive deal and he wasn't interested in doing that. He is still open to working with ROH. Starr does have a big travel schedule with working England and Germany a lot so it might be tough for ROH to line up dates to use him.

On top of this, he just announced at a show he’s soon moving to the U.K. So ROH could at least use him if they wanted on those tours. Maybe for the next International Cup, wherever that may be.

Regarding PAC and Dragon Gate, it would depend on whether he signed an exclusive deal or just went back as a freelancer. He's a big enough star that I think he could get away with taking bookings for both companies.

Before he went to the WWE, he started getting used by New Japan. So if he wanted to he could do both, I’m sure.

I did not know that.

Big news vía SESCOOPS:

Yes! Now that is something i've been wanting for a while now, great pick up, now add a few new faces including tag teams and you've got a great roster.

[AlexROH]

Meltzer is also saying that we should expect some Haskins matches for ROH in the US this year too

[Chrisvegas27]

They are signing lots of people lately

Good that's been deserved for a long time now.

[monster mafia]

2 good additions to the roster.

[Mr. Mojo Risin]

Brody King and Mark Haskins? Trying to sign Jeff Cobb to a contract? No complaints here.

[dhads7161]

How about Bandido & Flamita as a tag team?

[AlexROH]

Jeff Cobb confirmed this week the he has sign a one year contract with ROH.

[maxx_powerz]

Excited about Haskins working more. Not as into Brody King, but if he's starting off as a Shane Taylor replacement who can work his way up the card if he impresses (which Taylor never really has, if we are being honest), I'd be fine with that.

This may still be television spoilers so I'll put it like this is

Spoiler: show

ZSJ

just going to be a one off or is ROH now going to be his U.S. home?

I would think he'll be full time with NJPW still, but hopefully this is a sign he can be a semi-regular special attraction like Kushida.

Preety much yeah, although it sounds more like Silas has signed with the WWE.

The likes of Cody, Bucks, Daniels and Kaz's will probably be semi regular just without a contract, their curren situation obviously doesn't allow them to regular create All Inn events without special permision. Without the contracts they can do whatever they want, Including creating a more stable version of All Inn. I do think this is what people are missing, they aren't really leaving at all they just litterally want to be independent contractors and I imagine ROH are just going to live with it considering the draws they are.

The thing I do find wierd is that ROH hasn't looked at Fenix and Pentagon considering they work for CMLL but there could be a lot more political nuencies that we just don't know about, I imagine it's the same for Flamita and Bandido. There is also the case of work permits and how many ROH wants to pay for.
