Maybe Gaburick is pissed that soon enough ROH will take their spot also.
I bet that when tna closes he'll go back on his knees and ask Kevin Dunn if he can be his lackey dick rider again

Strong appears at the IZ now and then cause he was friends with many there, that's nothing to note. He even did a dark match for them as ROH champion once and nothing came of it. And Lethal ain't going back there, not after he's climbed and reached the top of the mountain.
He's just like Davey last year when he claimed that reDRagon was going to sign with TNA while they were unsigned and ROH Tag Champs. Just trying to create noise and get attention.

What a douche. Strong and Lethal also both live in western Florida now, I believe, so they could easily have just been visiting friends.

Bob Ryder seems like the type of dude that would call a bank telling them that he's going to rob them, show up, and wonder why there's cops everywhere.

Unfortunately for Bob, Jay Lethal wasn't too receptive over the prospect of being paid in unsold Gunner merchandise.

I highly doubt any ROH guys will be jumping to TNA while it waits for God. It is like the time they tried to poach ROH for ReDragon and when they could get them, they made a move to get Brutal Burgers who turned them down. With stories of people not getting paid and seeing folks' careers suffer greatly from being TNA'd, good luck on convincing any potential prospects from coming in. Unless they are near the bottom of barrel and/or naive as f***.

I honestly would not blame ROH for wanting nothing to do with TNA or whatever crazy ideas they come up with.
It would remind me if they did, of when NWA and AWA did a joint show together and the NWA President was backstage trying to get AWA guys to sign with him and quit AWA. That ended the relationship real fast.

Any TNA/ROH cross promotion is just gonna be a thinly veiled attempt to get ROH talents backstage so they can give them "the pitch" to try to get them on board. It would do nothing for ROH, and would backfire hilariously on TNA.

yeah because Jon knows wrestling and held such a high spot in the WWE but that made him qualify to be head of talent relations. The fact the real talent keeps leaving and resigning a bunch of guys who nobody cares about in return.

That ended the relationship real fast. It was Superclash 3 co-promoted between Memphis, AWA and World Class. And there were higher-ups backstage trying to sign guys away from each other. And to bring it full circle, Jerry Lawler, who won the World Class title to unite it with the AWA Title, was never paid for the show.

It was David Crockett trying to sign AWA guys for his brother Jim's promotion (according to Greg Gagne on WWE's AWA documentary). I believe it happened at the first SuperClash in 1985 where it was mostly an AWA card, but Crockett Promotions sent Flair and Magnum TA to the show for an NWA title match.

Ok I only see Roderick signing if they let him take outside bookings from roh and pwg, because he would earn more money on indy bookings and gimmick sales than he would solely at TNA. Roddy would be a great addition, great worker and he's finally improving on his promo skills...10 years later but still it counts

I get guys like Sam Shaw and Gunner, virtual unknowns just trying to get a foot in the door, but guys like Davey Richards and Austin Aries? You would think that anyone thinking long term would be savvy enough to see that TNA will drown you in stupid until no one thinks you were ever good in the first place. You look at how awesome AJ Styles is now and have to think it's a miracle because people were laughing at his antics in a bad way at the tail end of his run. They've so consistently taken guys with buzz and promise and made them complete non-factors.

They've so consistently taken guys with buzz and promise and made them complete non-factors. TNA get the Aries and Richards types due to those guys burning bridges and left with not that many options. A decade ago, TNA had a surplus of talented, undersized wrestlers who figure since WWE didn't want them, TNA was the next best thing. Which for quite a while it worked. Wrestle a dark match/ppv match/Impact and still get to work the indies. But the tide start turning when TNA banned talent from ROH. Then they made the rule about banning working indies who taped dvds and sold them through sites considered competition. What put the knife in jugular as far as recruitment is WWE changing its policy towards scouting and hiring new talent. Undersize standouts are in. Which lead to people rather taking their chance with trying for a WWE job than work TNA for less money than they were making in the indies. Plus it didn't help seeing how TNA booked and treated the previous indy standout class. TNA can try to get Kyle O'Reily or Adam Cole but those folks are too career savvy to let TNA work its dark magic on their career.

How did Big John get in the wrestling biz anyway? What has he ever done? Wasn't he the one who thought Styles leaving wasn't a big deal? Of course AJ shoved that thought up his ass by becoming the biggest non-WWE wrestling star in the world.
