Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 30, 2011 Is this thread serious? I'd heard of Jerry Lynn, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Jimmy Yang, Doug Williams, Joey Matthews, Low Ki, Samoa Joe, Brian Kendrick, Daffney, Paul London and Bryan Danielson before Ring of Honor even existed. Then your putting Abyss, Awesome Kong, Chris Hero, Mickie James, Daivari, Hernandez and Jamie Noble in with that group of "originals"? Its an indy fed that books wrestlers. There was always indy darlings and talented wrestlers around before Ring of Honor. If it wasnt Ring of Honor booking them, someone else would be.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 30, 2011 No idea. I imagine they have signed, if everyone is saying so. Dave Lagna said they have, and he's pretty close to the situation. Anything is better than the New Nexus, so I wouldnt mind them turning up.

Theyve got to finish off their commitments with ROH and then they are going to Bypass developmental straight on to the main roster. thats the latest ive read hopefully its the truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Duke Posted July 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 30, 2011 Joey Matthews - One half of M'n'M which led to the discovery of one of the most innovative wrestlers of recent years (morrison) That's glorious stuff right there. His effort to make MAtthews look good was he was part of a tag team where the other guy went on to stardom. He's not even the Jannety, that's an insult to Marty Jannety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
