According to the WON an ROH wrestler whose contract is coming due was offered a six-figure deal by TNA to come in and be a top star. The person is expected to take a lower WWE offer.
If this is true I'd love to know who it is. I'm guessing Moose?
Is there anyone besides him who is leaving ROH soon? Or is he the only option?
Roderick Strong is rumored to be leaving but I'm almost positive he's not under contract to ROH right now. The only other guy I can think of who TNA would offer that kind of deal is Adam Cole? Allegedly his contract isn't up till December.
He violated his parole last September via a failed drug test and had to serve his full term. He had already served 85 percent of his original term.
Color me skeptical that WWE is gonna re-hire a dude fresh out of prison for violating his parole
Now I'm imagining "WWE Superstar Nick Gage."
Thanks, Blank.
Anytime!

It was cute when they did it for Fandango, but I gotta say I find it really irritating when live crowds sing theme songs, especially in the middle of a match.

This is one of my favorite crowd things!
The fact that everyone sings along with Sami's theme now makes me so happy

I should have clarified that it's fine if they do it while the song is going, but at Takeover when they just started singing Nakamura's theme in the middle of the match, it just really grated for some reason.

I like the lyric replacement bit better...like they do for Enzo and Bailey.
Nope! And I kind of think saving Finn/Nakamura for Brooklyn is a terrible idea, because what the hell are those dudes going to do for the next two months in that case? And why would Itami, a guy who's been gone for over a year, immediately get put in the main event of one of their biggest shows of the year?

They could easily have Itami earn a number one contender spot in two months. Assuming he is completely healed by now of course.
As for what they'll have Finn and Nak do in the interim? Nothing. The match doesn't need a build, it's already sold itself.
Nakamura said he needs to beat finn to earn his shot. So I don't see them waiting for takeover for that. Joe vs nakmura makes more since for a takeover match.

If Nak is being brought up to the main roster sooner rather than later I'd agree with you.
But maybe I'm overestimating them giving Shinsuke the NXT title.
Does Samoa Joe? NXT doesn't have an upper card right now outside of Joe, Nakamura, and Finn. And who knows how much longer Finn has in NXT. Until they finally get around to building some more dudes up, those three are it.

Most definitely. Also I really dig it when he does the "tranquilo" in the ropes.
Yup
I thought he was in prison again.
Sadly, they aren't keeping him there forever.

And Moose was the ROH guy who allegedly turned down a TNA 6 figure deal with a guaranteed main event push.
Gage has never worked for WWE, I meant he was returning to CZW and Beyond Wrestling.
Beyond Wrestling is a good fed though. And CZW can produce good things but are weighed down by their hardcore style.
His theme and gimmick though, he can really go far I think if they let him.

No, but maybe the title needs him
Having all the big stars pass by the title because they're too big already kinda devalues the title
Maybe the title should go to a non former indy guy after Joe then?
I am all in on this idea, where is the petition I need to sign?
