Earlier today on The Zero Hour there was a change made.
Prince Nana who had been a mainstay in Ring of Honor during the early years, made his return and announced that he has purchased Tully Blanchard Enterprises. Buying their contracts as he is reforming The Embassy.
Don't know what is going on with Tully as this was a surprising development.

Much as I'm ecstatic to see Prince Nana again, the abruptness does make me concerned that Tully's had a health scare or something of that sort.
As an aside on the topic of classic ROH managers, has Truth Martini essentially retired or is he still kicking around?

On the media scrum, Tony noted Tully is totally fine. It came across as more of a creative decision than anything else.

I was actually just thinking of Nana the other day, wondering if he and Truth Martini would pop up in the new ROH. That's one answered.
I wonder if the idea if they'll have Tully manage someone in AEW rather than ROH, maybe.

I will never complain about having more Nana in my wrestling, although I worry that the Embassy gimmick is a little too nostalgia throwback for ROH right now. But it is a little head tilt to do the replacement after building Tully as a bedrock of the ROH promotion.

Jonathan Gresham deleted his twitter after the loss to Claudio, so it's not clear yet if this direction change had had some bigger consequences to stuff, but if Tully is fine health-wise like Tony said he was inthe media scrum apparently, then it's a bit of a headscratcher of a situaiton.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm always 100% down for more Prince Nana in anything ROH does and you can make a case that he works even better than Tully does as the guy behind Gates of Agony and Cage, but him with Gresham feels a bit off, that felt much more like something that worked with Tully in the manager's spot. If Tully is indeed fine, which he hopefully is, then it's certainly a bit confusing.
Maybe the storyline becomes that Tully put the team together in ROH with the idea of selling off their contracts to cash in, and he uses the money he made from Nana to make some kind of new investment. Still, weird, but I'll happily throw a diamond up for The Embassy any chance I get.

Tully's using the money to start a tights washing business at home.

Very sudden. Either Tully is not doing we health-wise, or he’s having issues with the company, as well.

"There was some confusion around Tully's travel itinerary that led to him missing the show, and last minute creative changes were needed." "Oh, that's good, I guess that kind of thing can happen, maybe he'll get back and they'll make some kind of angle out of-" "Staff was told Tully is effectively gone."  "...oh." |

On the AEW Roster Page, Tully is still listed as a Coach.
