They also had CM Punk, Colt Cabana, Matt Sydal and attempted to sign Cesaro during that time. They were well aware of ROH before Mark Henry went to that random indy show. Not saying Mark didnt have a hand in his suggestion but he did not discover Bryan Danielson and definitely isnt the sole reason he got signed
I definitely remember Punk Joe and Bryan getting OVW offers in 2005 and Joe went to TNA and Bryan extended with ROH and Punk went to OVW. Bryan when he signed with WWE said only reason he went to WWE when he did was because the injuries were piling up and he felt clock ticking
