Scurll winning BOLA and then not coming back for a long time would suck.
RIPPA Posted November 11, 2016 Author Posted November 11, 2016 Actually with ROH it USUALLY means they can't work anywhere but PWG Obviously - each could have worked whatever specific language they wanted to in their deals. Really - it just means they aren't going to the WWE anytime soon. 1
odessasteps Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 It also means they could work/continue to work in NJ and CMLL.
Peck Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Excited to see Ospreay in Pittsburgh on 2/11. Looks like he's also confirmed for Atlanta(1/14), Columbus(2/12) and Lakeland(4/1)

Really - it just means they aren't going to the WWE anytime soon. I believe all ROH contracted wrestlers can also take bookings outside of the US wherever they want as long as it doesn't overlap with ROH commitments. I would guess Ospreay just signed on for as long as his NJPW contract lasts. When it comes to Scurll, I have a feeling WWE has no interest for whatever reason.

I wish he had that when seeing him last year, but I'm quite pleased he's got that mask. Heck, I even dressed as a plague doctor this year for Halloween. Must be something in the water. I have a feeling Marty will be Cody's opponent for Final Battle. Can't remember if they wrestled before, but if not then there you go. 2
Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 I'm such a mark for the plague doctor costume, so if there's something in the water, it found its way to me. 1
Technico Support Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Went from cool and foreboding to "goofy comedy gimmick" as soon as he took off the mask, mugged for the camera, and yelled "CHICKENWING." 1
NikoBaltimore Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 I need to see more of Marty's wrestling to get a better sense of how he is in that department. But if the videos showed me (like the one above) is that he should really consider acting. He strikes me as a potentially good villainous actor that just happens to wrestle. I know some people are raving about him in BOLA so I'll start there. But when I met him I brought up those videos and he was insanely proud of them. It's amazing how some something like that can take a wrestler and make him stand out so much.

It's amazing how some something like that can take a wrestler and make him stand out so much. Not sure who's raving about him in BOLA. Most of the comments in the BOLA thread here were pretty sour on him winning it. I like him just fine but him winning the whole thing was like the year Joey Ryan won it. Unexpected and not in a good way.
mattdangerously Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Can I go ahead and start proactively hating all the ROH fans who are going to ruin his gimmick by cheering for him like he's a babyface? 2
JonnyLaw Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Wait, so that's not a spy vs. spy gimmick? 6
zev Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 So if I heard it right on the syndicated show, the guys from the Cabinet cut a promo to basically say that the Cabinet gimmick was just that, a gimmick. But their next incarnation, that's the one that's going to be really real.

As i was leaving , it sounded like some kind of worked shoot pipe bomb dealie-a-bob. 1

Whoever came up with this whole thing is bad and should feel bad. 1

Yes you can. I will love him secretly in my heart, but I will boo the fuck out of him during a live event. I may even throw a cup or something at the ring. Anyone that covers him in streamers when he wrestles needs to have their ass beat. 2

It doesn't help matters that Kelly and Corino no-sold the whole thing as soon as the Cabinet stopped talking.
RIPPA Posted November 17, 2016 Author Posted November 17, 2016 Colby Corino announced that he is leaving at the end of the year to be a Young Lion in the New Japan Dojo
