In regards to PCO , I am happy that he got the ROH deal. The man is 50 years , but so what ! Age is just a number , he man can do the job. That is all that matters.

PCO has had a tough run. The guy worked for both the WWF and WCW but never made any real money . Now at 50 he gets the deal he has earned after years of hard work. Hopefully this ROH run will help fund his retirement. .

Except this last part has been proven false under the current regime. Guys like Cliff Compton and Bull Dempsey were allowed to repeatedly sh*t the bed with some of ROH's best workers and were still brought back afterwards. Sumie Sakai put on mediocre matches and barely got any reaction but they left the belt on her for OVER EIGHT MONTHS. If someone has talent this regime will try to bring them in, yes, and if someone gets over they'll probably be brought back... but if they don't get over and Delirious wants to keep using them, he'll just bring them back anyway, and that seems to happen more often than not when has had some TV exposure. That is what people are worried about.

Yeah because why should add to that list Jeff Cobb, Bandido, Mark Haskins, Brody King and Tracy Williams?

The great names you mentioned are welcome additions, but in the end it comes down the booker. Plus PCO will lose steam just based on the act, and Marty being lame duck at the moment. Luchasaurus was awful in Columbus and PJ Black looked like he would rather have been anywhere else besides in a ring.

Ahhh there we go, there is always one....

If they can add Flamita, they will just need one more tag team and the devision wont feel so crippled, now add a Sammy Guevara/MJF and a Wheeler Yuta/Myron Reed and that will be a very good roster.

For someone who was accused of being a company shill to now being called the opposite, mama I’ve made it.

You literally said Daniels and Kazarian were on the back nine and he’s older than both! Come on, if you like the gimmick great. But don’t talk out of both sides.

Am I the only one who would much rather see Badido as a singles guy without Flamita?

Per Pwinsider

There is an expectation that Daniels will be at the Florida TV tapings at least.

Homicide was at both shows over the weekend,

How would everyone feel about a return of Homicide?

I hope it goes better than the last Outlaw Inc stint in ROH if they do. That was a total mess of a run.

With Bandidio main eventing All In I figured he would've been high up on the list for AEW.with ROH signing him and getting more aggressive with talent signings and when you still factor in WWE and other places locking down talent it makes me wonder more about who AEW would get. I feel like it's mainly going to be a play toy for the Elite and a retirement home for unhappy WWE main roster names who are getting older and want to get off the road.

Would like to see Flamita but luchablog on Twitter doesn’t think it’s likely.

Would love for Rey Horus to come in.

I belive Kingston just showed up in Evolve so it doesn't seem likely, Kingston never seemed to work in ROH, I just think his in ring work always looked out of place. There is no doubting his talent on the mic or creating a hugely intense atmosphere but you have to book him in a certain way in matches and ROH just might not be good enough to do that.

Homicide could just be visiting freinds, I just found it interesting that he was their both nights.

That's a shame about Flamita, I like them overall as a Tag Team.

We'll have to see what happens on the weeks to come with other names out there. The story of two MLW names turning down ROH shows there are still wrestlers out there who don't view ROH as an attractive option.

That will probably explain it then, I had thought he was more NY based.

Doesn't Homicide have a wrestling school with Nick Gage somewhere near the Pennsylvania/New Jersey border?
