With his track record? Hard pass.


Care to enlighten us?

Multiple arrests including for the sale of marijuana which took place at the ecw arena. Also locally known as a guy with unreliable transportation. In ring he’s been around forever and still blows spots like he’s in a 2003 scramble

So he's a terrible person because he sold a little marijuana? It's becoming legal in more states every year. I say bring him in, people make mistakes, it's how they come back from them.

As someone with their medical marijuana card in the state of Ohio, I have no issue with it. What I am saying is that if it affects your job performance and reliability you do not deserve that job. There's a reason his best friend in wrestling had a ton of pull at TNA and was never able to get him booked.

No problem with marijuana except its legality in some parts still. Selling it in areas where it's still banned/illegal and getting arrested for it makes you unreliable. How is a company supposed to trust you when you can't easily follow the law?

Ivelisse Velez wants out of Lucha Underground.

That would be an incredible get for Women of Honor.

Since LU would likely let her work Impact, AAA, or MLW it seems unlikely she'd go there. I doubt she wants to go back to WWE.

So that leaves AEW, WOH, or CMLL.

Facade did a tour of Japan last year with DDT. Maybe he has gotten his life together. I've really only seen his ROH work but with the type of offense he has shown, hearing that he botches a lot isn't a shock. If he is in a better place in his life that he can be reliable and makes some changes in ring to work a big safer then maybe his role could be expanded. Let him prove to ROH he can do the job.

I'd recommend some AIW stuff when he pops up. Dude is still pretty reckless in the ring. Wasted movement is a big part of his offense.

Also, selling it AT A SHOW is really poor judgment.

I'll have to search some out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Ivelisse is other egomaniac wrestler difficult to work with in backstage. People who worked with her in LU always talked me bad about her.

Thanks for the info. If he has his life together, I hope he gets a shot. I've saw him a few times now at BTW shows and he always put on a good performance.

So is Luchasaurus actually signed, or was he just booked for a few shows? His Twitter feed still indicates he's a free agent.

Also, I wonder if they'll continue to use Shane Helms in 2019.

Happens more than you’d think, sadly.

In all honesty I hope he hasn't, I just don't think hes good enough in the end, no matter the gimmick and I have a feeling ROH has realised that and cooled off.

That said, it's wierd that PJ Black has signed and isn't on the events for this week, maybe he has to finnish off some dates possibly.

Black, Williams and Luchasaurus all haven't signed yet. There's still some logistics that need taken care of before Black and Williams sign. Hopefully they wised up and passed on Luchasaurus.

Facade sucks. I would rather have my teeth yanked out with rusty pliers than see him in ROH again.

He's going WWE, but man, if he signs with ROH that would be suuuuuuuper cool. My favourite indie wrestler in the USA

Do you thing the MVP thing was just for Tag Wars or will he be a regular act? I wasn't ever a big fan of his work, but I dont mind him sticking around in the Tag Division. BDC was a very good concept with a bad booking, like a lot of things in TNA years ago.

I like MVP... but I like him better on the mic at this point. I like the idea of maybe using Shane Taylor to join beat down clan and they go trios, or king:Taylor go tag with Mvp as the mouthpiece.

I could see ROH using him part time, maybe for like Tv tapings/ppv’s
