ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

[Chrisvegas27]

I wouldn't be surprised if he helps at the dojo and in the back since he a roh vet plus according to Pwinsider he signed a two year deal

[kovs27]

My pick for Los Ingobernables de USA:
Rush
Kenny King
Dragon Lee
LSG
Shaheem Ali
Bestia de la Ring (maybe appearing part time ala Haku in Bullet Club)

Just on this idea, how would people feel about Cobb being apart of this.

I don't think being that type of heel fits Cobbs natural personality. Cobb as a face who can be fun loving but also serious when it's time to be seems right. With that said I've never seen him be a bad guy other than on Lucha Underground and that was a completely different character.

Dan Maff had been the highlight of Wrestlepro the last few years. I'm very excited to see him in ROH as he is more than capable of having excellent matches with people of any size.

Cobb's not a heel.

It worked in Lucha Underground because he wore a mask and played the mostly silent monster heel character. But if you see Cobb's facial expressions and listen to his voice, it's just so hard to buy him as a heel. His natural warmth and easy going nature shine through.

Good News on the Dan Maff signing. Haven't seen a ton of his recent indy stuff, but he certainly impressed me at the latest ROH matches. Seems like he'd fit in nicely in VE or Vincents "hounds of horror" .
ROH seems to be bringing in a lot of veterans the last year or two. Hopefully they are also scouting some of the younger talent as well.

I think Maff goes with Shane Taylor Productions.

Those who’d like to get familiar with Maff’s previous ROH run, here’s what I’d recommend:

Maff vs. Samoa Joe - Wrestlerave
Maff vs. Whitmer vs. Homicide vs. Cabana - Death Before Dishonor
Maff vs. Joe vs. Ki vs. Whitmer - Second Anniversary Show
Maff & Whitmer vs. Punk & Cabana - Generation Next
Maff & Whitmer vs. Punk & Steel - Death Before Dishonor II Pt. 2
Maff & Whitmer vs. Cabana & McGuinness (including Cornette and Heenan confrontation) - Third Anniversary Celebration Pt. 3

I would never expect Cobb to be a heel, maybe a cocky, laid back (Tranquillo) big guy but never a heel as I wouldn't expect LIJ to be heels, they would be too well liked. Personally I think it would be a really good fit for him or at least give him something different to get into.

Maff & Whitmer vs. Cabana & McGuinness (including Cornette and Heenan confrontation) - Third Anniversary Celebration Pt. 3

This is a great list - highly recommend all of these! If I could chip in a couple too (mostly because it’s a shame DHS didn’t accomplish much in ROH - they were really influential in Year One - and there are a couple more Maff matches I really enjoyed)

Da Hit Squad vs Carnage Crew (Honor Invades Boston)

Da Hit Squad/Low Ki vs Special K (Expect The Unexpected)

Maff/Daniels vs Styles/Homicide (Wrath Of The Racket)

Maff vs Whitmer (Empire State Showdown)

Would immediately go to AEW.

Observer:

Dan Maff has signed a two-year contract and will become a regular

Tom Lawlor will be finishing up with [MLW] in December. Court Bauer put out a Tweet thanking him for his time with the company. The story is that both sides had been working on a new contract for months but in the end they didn’t reach an agreement

Mexablood is coming?

[cgstong]

From CubsFan: http://www.thecubsfan.com/cmll/2019/11/ ... -of-honor/

Flamita has signed a one year deal with US promotion Ring of Honor. He’s expected to start on their 12/13 Final Battle PPV. Hugo Savinovich mentioned a rumor of Flamita signing during today’s AAA show. I can confirm that rumor is correct, Flamtia has indeed signed with ROH.

[BurningHammer]

As I thought he would, think that's been planned for a while. Now keep a couple of the others and you have yourselves a pretty fine roster.

[Chrisvegas27]

The reaction to Flamita being with Roh is mostly negative

Twitter..not surprising

I just find funny it now, people are jumping on a bandwagon and not looking at the situation as a whole, especially from the roster point of view. If MexiBlood does became heavily involved in the Tag Team division there are so many great matches to be had.
