Are the Briscoes actually related to Jack and Jerry? Or is that just their gimmick?

1. its their gimmick
2. for Jack & Jerry its Brisco, not Briscoe

Didn't know that, thanks. I don't get to see ROH.

[Mozenrath]

Claudio, Hero, maybe Nigel Uno and Aries. Delirious and Sweeney, maybe.

Aren't the Briscoe(County Jr?) Brothers threatening retirement at various times? What makes you think they could handle the WWE schedule?

[Bocuma]

See, all my favorite ROH guys (minus Danielson) I consider to be Chikara guys. And I like my Chikara .

But, theoretically, yeah, Claudio would definitely need to be in there.

[Angus Mcloud]

Im hopping not Claudio because i plan on going to the CHIKARA school within the next few months

[hajimenoippo]

Size, look, marketablity, and skill.

Claudiu, Hero, Delirious, Generico, and Kenny King have all those qualities.

If WWE somehow signed up Htizzle today I'd be happier than a Cow in a field

The Briscoes could be huge in revitalizing the tag division, they should just let them have some crazy ass brawls.

In my eyes if they raided ROH they'd be raiding Chikara and PWG too!

Anyways, I could see them going after Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Delirious, El Generico, Nigel McGuinnness and Tyler Black. On a side note, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point that went after Chuck Taylor as well.

I have it from a pretty good source that both Hero and Castagnoli are signing. As I mentioned before, Danielson mentioned to Filsinger Games that he would be signing with the WWE within 6 months when he signed to be part of the LOW game.

Gabe Sapolsky the guy who used to write ROH.

Well for what it's worth i was surveying the scene at the ROH forums and somebody posted that somewhere on Claudio's Facebook he said " Hopes to wrestle Rey Misterio one day." So i wouldn't be surprised if he was signing.

[KevFalcön07]

El Generico is flippin' awesome but if he gets a WWE contract, I'll shoot myself in the foot.

...Not really, but you get it.

Chris Hero doesn't really have the size. he is in better shape than he was but he is a very skinny tall guy and wrestles like an athletic small guy. WWE would not know at all what to do with him.

Is that right?

Then try telling that to this guy.

Obviously, I have to take this with a grain of salt, but if you are correct, that would be quite awesome. It'd pretty much round off my wish list, outside of Aries or Delirious.

Hero, Claudio, Nigel, Delirious, Aries, Hero's Old Attire.

[Ralnathane]

Nigel

from todays Figure Four Weekly:

On that note, regarding rumors that WWE has suddenly shown great interest in ROH talent since the show moved to Monday nights and that a big talent raid is in the works, from the WWE side two different sources stated there is nothing to this rumor. According to a source on the ROH side there is the potential for one more guy to get signed by WWE in the next few months (they told us two guys, but this was just before Danielson signed), who is "far better than everyone in developmental and half the undercard." This source also said that despite what anyone says, ROH does not consider itself competition for WWE, and in fact the TV is designed between promos and match times to get guys ready to work a WWE TV style....Regarding the TV show, there are definitely wrestlers in WWE who are watching it every week, though I'm not sure anyone in management does...It should also be noted that most of the guys in the company are under contract, including a few who it had been rumored were not like Davey Richards. The Richards rumor probably got started because Danielson's ROH contract expired and he was scheduled to work the Dragon Gate show next month, and since Richards is also scheduled to work that show people assumed he wasn't under contract either. This is an important point because someone on the WWE side noted that WWE, even if they were keeping close tabs on the show, were not going to make offers to anyone under contract to a wrestling company in the US. "Of course," they added, "there have been a few blunders where Johnny [Ace]'s incompetence created situations where that wasn't the case, but right now, WWE is not really even aware of ROH.".

Not sure about Delirious but when Aries signed (not too long ago) to be part of 'Legends of the Future 3' I didn't hear anything about him signing with the WWE.

But Hero and Castagnoli - yeah.
