Every single interview he's talking about doing something different in the future. Wants to stay in NJPW forever, wants to do ROH, doesn't want to do ROH, wants to go to WWE, doesn't want to go to WWE, wants to stay and help the British indie scene, wants to move to Australia.
I'd rather have Will Ospreay than no Will Ospreay but that doesn't mean I think he should be in the main event.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
Agree..makes sense to me. Great talent, but not committed to any one company, other than New Japan. Don't mind him being used as a special attraction moving forward. Maybe we'll get some war of the worlds appearances.
Nice grab for Gabe, even if it is just a handful of shows.

According to the observer, the Kingdom have apparently signed exclusive domestic contracts with ROH

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
I would have figured Taven was already signed
Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
I think Meltzer wanted to say O'Ryan and Marseglia. Taven has been ROH's US exclusive for a while. On the other hand, O'Ryan and Marseglia just ended their indy dates with the latest NEW show when they lost the tag titles.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
Actually, Matt Taven wasn't exclusive to ROH. His contract expired the same time as Bennett and Maria, but if you recall he injured himself - tore his ACL if I recall correctly? But anyways, ROH continued to pay him without a contract and when he returned he only signed a short term one, so this entire time he hasn't had an exclusive deal and has been regularly working indies when he's off.
It appears ROH is going to get behind him a lot more right now though which I'm not actually against. I think hes worked hard to improve his look and character somewhat, and that he and TK O'Ryan have a lot of potential. Marseglia still needs a lot of work though and needs to stop acting as goofy as he does.

Silas just tweeted this
Been in Florida since new year's day and I just realized my contract expired and im a free agent holding some important gold!! Weather is shitty, if only there was something else to do in the Orlando area.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
So Bruiser is contracted but the ROH World TV Champion has apparently yet to re-sign? Makes sense.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
i havent seen Taven booked for any stateside indies in more than a year. if he wasnt under exclusive contract already id be surprised
Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
Silas signed a exclusive 1-year deal during 2017 so he's under contract.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
Daddiego is no longer listed on the roster with the launch of the new site, so I'm assuming perhaps he's officially gone? I don't think he's wrestled since the middle of last year?

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
I for one, am, in fact, slightly happier with actual confirmation that he's gone.
Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
Eh, I think confirmation would be good to have one way or the other. I don't totally get the hate for the guy (although I realize he wasn't a great in-ring performer), but maybe I'm in the dark on something else. I still think they should have paired him up with Cheeseburger for the "feud" with Ferrara and Titus as it would have made more sense than leaving Cheeseburger by himself (or pairing him with Delirious).
