That's great news on Tracy, if ROH can add a couple more talents with Tracey and Finlay on board there is a good healthy roster there.

Will be interesting to see how Finlay comes in, will he be a surprise, I wonder if he will have strong role in some shape or form.

Have a feeling Finlay is only booked because he lives in Atlanta and he's probably also booked for the New Beginning U.S. cards so he'll be in the U.S. next month so why not book him while he's available?

Ahh, I had no idea he lived in Atlanta and if he is booked on the New Beginning tour it makes sense to use him for sure, I know he was meant to come in some time last year also, but that never happened for whatever reason.

It if it's just a couple of shots it's cool, I just wondered if he could be made into something more than an oponer for New Japan.

Who is the former girlfriend?

Indeed they are not. They're feuding with The Kingdom. Briscoes and Silas are an interesting trio.

Daizee Haze
What'd he do to Daizee Haze? I remember cringing everytime she would come through the ROH curtain down the entrance ramp. So bad.... Although I will say I just recently watch Clash of the Contenders from 2009. The main event is Aries-Delirious for the World title. I popped pretty big when Aries ducks a lariat and continues running, dives through the ropes and hits Daizee Haze with a heat seaking missile out of nowhere.

Edit: Sorry about being off topic. I thought I was in the Random Thoughts Thread.

Lee is signing with WWE, DJZ, MLW or AEW. Do not expect DJ Z in ROH based on his history with the booker.

Surprised nobody’s really been clamoring for Colin Delaney to return. Thought he had a decent showing at SOTF.

Yep, designed the logo through a contest on Mr. Damn 14 video's website.

DJ Z was part of a tryout camp a few years ago during the HD-Net Era, I believe there was a documentary filmed around that time with him, can't remember what it was, but I know I have it in my collection. Delirious made fun of the condition he was in, not knowing the wide array of medical trauma he had been through around that time. There was a confrontation prior to the taping and Pearce who was booker at the time sent Delirious home and DJ Z was not hired.

I see him at AIW monthly, he's in good shape, but has the WWEECW stigma and has a really good real job.

"Decent" isn't enough to get me clamoring for someone to return, and especially someone with WWE jobber stink on him.

The Colin Defender has logged in and he has to say, after watching two matches of his in ROH, Colin is good! I like him as a lowercard guy. He's sharp in the ring and his story is really interesting. He was someone that was abused by the reality TV nature of the WWE and now he's trying have a career as an adult. It's a sympathetic and extremely unique character.

I'd love to know what storytelling he's doing considering he's the same size as most of the ROH roster, not a little guy here compared to the way you perfectly put it was "abused" in WWE. I don't know what sympathy he's drawing, or what's unique there.
