BrianS81177 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Is that legit? I can't imagine he'd have any value to any other company since he can't wrestle anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Maybe it ties into the wwe / uk story. (Idle speculation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yeah, surely this can't have anything to do with that supposed UK tournament... Also, since it hasn't been mentioned yet: Adam Cole worked wXw yesterday and during his match used a package piledriver and yelled "see you soon, Kevin Owens". Take that for what you want.

Spritenaut 32 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Has it been reported elsewhere (ie, Meltzer)? The item up on the RoH website reads like part of an angle, not a legit "this guy is leaving the company" announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're good buddies. Shortly after he won the title, Cole posted a photo that said something like "Just two dudes hanging out with their world titles" and it was him and Owens in the pic. 5 hours ago, Horton Hears a Wooo!!! said: Has it been reported elsewhere (ie, Meltzer)?

Yeah, it reads as angle to me, too, with the Bullet Club references etc. Either that, or he's leaving to do something else, and ROH is using it to further an angle.

Spritenaut 32 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If Nigel is really leaving, I hope he gets a better send-off given how long he's been with the company. That press release sounds more like he's turning heel than taking another job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Saw this week's WOH special tv episode. Thought it was real bad with pretty much awful wrestling. There was one woman whose name escapes me whose offense was that she had a large posterior. I am not joking when I say she was the single worst performer I have seen on a TV show from a significant promotion this year. She looked like she was having her first match after one day of training. And Mandy Leon literally has nothing going for her except her looks. Can't wrestle and has the charisma and promo ability of a block of wood. Forget the WWE and NXT women's divisions, this was worse than TNA.

But she literally had her first match a few months ago. At a non-TV show in Baltimore let's just say she was wildly popular for a certain reason. But she's not good and seems to be aware of that. As for Mandy on the last WOH special they aired I though she had a good match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Quote By Mike Johnson on 2016-12-12 21:08:00 Yesterday, while writing about Nigel McGuinness' exit as the storyline Matchmaker from Ring of Honor, I noted that there had been interest in McGuinness in the past as a trainer for WWE at the Performance Center. We are told by a WWE source that McGuinness has had a standing offer to explore that opportunity if he desired. One would have to assume that it's something that is going to be explored. If McGuinness is completely done with ROH, after everything he's done over the years, I truly hope that his exit is something a little more special beyond an announcement on their website. Ring of Honor is moving forward in a big way with the Women of Honor division. There are not only plans to institute the first champion, but we are hearing that the company will be offering contracts to several regulars in the division. The names we have heard most likely to get offers are Kelly Klein, Mandy Leone, Deonna Purrazzo and Taeler Hendrix, all of whom have been regulars for the WOH brand. Purrazzo is an interesting name as she regularly works for WWE NXT and is in high demand on the independent circuit. She is working this week for WWE at their TV tapings and appeared in a segment on Raw tonight during the New Day's celebration. There's been a lot of speculation in recent days about BJ Whitmer and WWE having interest in him as a trainer as well. That is not something we can confirm, but given his pedigree of being trained by the legendary Les Thatcher as well as his excellent job working for ROH behind the scenes as an agent, it certainly makes sense to me. Whitmer is one of the names we have mentioned who's current deal is expected to lapse at the end of 2016 who has been talking with the company about a new deal.

Jiji Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 BJ Whitmer is not a guy I would want training my rookies. He never struck me as having great psychology and was way too reliant on huge, risky bumps to get over from what I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 If the WWE job pays more, I'd take it if I were Nigel. He's done more than his share and deserves a steady paycheck and a lighter travel schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 So WWE is now hiring trainers who can show prospects what NOT to do? That's some next level shit. Maybe Nigel & Danielson can do a two man seminar where they show their stupidly-worked ROH matches and explain just what spots contributed to their shortened careers. (Yes I know Nigel retired due to Hep but the concussions would have caught up eventually, work with me here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
