Damn this is big for ROH

Maybe this is what they needed to turn their company around.

Marty out here getting wwe main roster money and is the head booker. Wow. When’s the last time an active wrestler was given the book?

I wonder what camp Scurll ends up being in with the book; is he like the other Elite ilk where they worry about getting everyone else over at the expense of themselves to the point where it backfires... or does he go full Lawler/Dusty/Nash/Territory-era and use him having creative control and the book to enhance himself?

Curious things in wrestling in 2020.

I do think it'd benefit ROH to get a working relationship with AEW - no honest reason not to, and I think using AEW as a platform to showcase who they have would definitely be to ROH's benefit. Because right now they're #4 in the US in my estimation, and woulda been #5 if NJPW didn't just lose their stateside platform. (I think MLW > ROH) That being said... maybe it goes the other way and ROH and NWA work together? I think that could be nice.

Eli Drake cutting promos on Jay Briscoe would be hilarious.

That explains the NWA relationship starting back up. Seeing people on social media hate on this because it's not NXT or AEW but I don't get it.

Man is getting paid, has creative control and probably gets benefits now that he's management.

You have to wonder if ROH would've put up more money to bring the rest of the Elite back if they weren't blindsided by AEW because lately they've been spending a lot. Re-signed PCO, Taven, PCO, Bandido now Marty.

A rare win for 2020 ROH :leon:
How big of an L for AEW? :patrice:

No one's gonna stop watching AEW cause Marty didn't show up and people who aren't familiar with the Elite would've downplayed him for being another short and/or skinny guy on the roster.

They really need to sign a guy over 220.

Delirious finally got fired as the booker :blessed:

Massive L for AEW & Meltzer. Marty to AEW when his deal was up was the most surefire lock of all time & they couldn't get it done.

Meltzer been talking about it like it was done for the last month because there was a picture of Marty on a BTE episode claiming they don't do stuff unless their going to pay it off. Just a couple days ago he was spinning it as a big loss for WWE that guys could make good money elsewhere & have beeter matches outside WWE. Then he tried to claim he could sign with ROH & still work with AEW like that shyt even makes sense. Did all that while just ignoring Marty being advertised for future ROH shows.

Going to be even more hilarious when ROH & NJPW starts doing stuff together again.

So Marty is walking away from this one with the Bag AND the Book? :ehh:

Big fish in a small pond. If dude is getting more money and being promoted to head booker then I’d take the same damn offer if I were him. Here’s hoping he can help facilitate a change for the better in ROH, and doesn’t get in a position where he gets pissed off at the high ups/owners giving him pushback and not cooperating with his creative decisions.

Here’s my question though.

Cuz I get it, anything that really takes the conversation away from WWE or is the perceived biggest threat. They stans try to shyt on them and bring them down by any means possible.

So just like people saying “this is a massive L to AEW.”

If say AEW or back in their fighting days TNA gave a huge contract and THE BOOK to one of their guys (say for TNA it was EC3), I’m sure E stans would call them idiots and say that’s a huge L.

But how do y’all really feel about Marty being the head Booker of ROH when not too long ago some of y’all was shytting on him?:ohhh:

Cacs and c00ns happy Marty's not signing with massa Vince's biggest competitor and is instead signing with a :flabbynsick: ROH that nobody gives a fukk about in 2020. :scust:

Y'all lucky Khan doesn't have a backbone or else ROH, Impact, and all those other little wrasslin companies y'all love so much because they pose absolutely no threat to massa Vince and his 812 brands would be accessible on the AEW network.
