WHAT?!
He has left EVOLVE and has signed full time with NJPW. Maybe this opens the door to work in tours like Honor Rising, Global Wars or Honor United.
That's disappointing. The way NJPW books doesn't leave enough room at the top of the card for all of the guys capable of filling those spots.

Suzuki is 49. He can't lead Suzuki-Gun forever. Sabre would be a fantastic successor.

Suzuki could move into a role similar to what Gedo has in Chaos. The boss but not the ace.

Yeah, this Saturday he is wrestling here in Spain for Madrid's White Wolf Wrestling promotion. I'll interview him and will try to ask him about the possibility of working ROH tours now that he's wrestling full-time with NJ.

Would be interesting. They could have him beat the technical guys in ROH. Do him vs Gresham, I think they had a series of matches in Beyond Wrestling that were really good. I'd honestly watch him in any singles match they could set up for him in ROH. And he's never really done any significant work with some of the ROH franchise guys. Would be cool to see him vs Daniels, vs Jay Lethal, vs Dalton Castle

Zack Sabre Jr. about wrestling in ROH now that he isn't under contract with EVOLVE and it's a contracted wrestler in NJPW:
"I'm sure it's a possibilty. I'm sure about it. I wrestle for Revolution Pro and they have a connection with NJPW, CMLL and ROH.

I think it's a bit too soon (about wrestling in the Honor United tour). Specially, I would love to bring Suzuki-Gun to America (with ROH), I think Taichi would be very popular".
When I have the full interview up on my website, I can share it here if you want to.

Thank you so much guys! This, I consider, is one of the best interviews I've done in the last year. Zack is a guy that doesn't do much interviews and he was very open and explained a lot of things. He even congratulated me after the interview because he liked the questions lol ahahah.

Not that anyone is expecting Low Ki to return at any point in the near future, IF EVER, but I think this scoop permanently slams the door shut on ANY potential chance of it. I firmly believe Paul London caused a similiar financial loss for ROH due to his antics in January 2014 (in his case, his excuse of him feeling unknowingly bait-and-switched from facing Strong to facing Alexander seemed a tad bit more empathetic, although not entirely when considering IWGP World Champion Styles was happy to face Alexander just several months later.)

I for one never plan to buy a ticket for any card that advertises Low Ki in a prominent match again.

Pepper Parks done with Impact.

I wouldn't mind seeing him working undercard matches if he can bring Cherry Bomb with him to ROH. If he can't bring her along then I'd pass.

Hes done work with ROH in the past. He just isn't a good in-ring wrestler. He's alright on the microphone and has a good look, but his positives don't go too far after that.

And Cherry Bomb has been exposed in TNA as being an extremely average female wrestler, especially by the standard in-which some of the women compete to today. Girls like Deonna, Karen Q and Tenille would run rings around her and she doesn't contribute the name Brandi Rhodes does and wouldn't work for cheap like a Stacy Shadows.

And Ki tried justifying all of it. What a dickbag.

Once a year or so, Low Ki reminds us all that he truly is in it for himself only. This was taken to a whole new level by an absolute egomaniacal misanthrope. Fuck him.

I don't think you and I have ever agreed on anything this much before. These are pretty much exactly my thoughts on Parks. He's a decent hand, he does not come across as an ROH-level talent.
