ROH News: McGuinness Resigns, Dream Tag Bout Signed For ATL, Ospreay At Manhattan Mayhem

A few headlines have filtered out of ROH headquarters today; Nigel McGuinness has ‘resigned’ as ROH Matchmaker. ROH have released the following statement regarding Nigel’s decision to leave his post:

“Earlier this evening, with heavy hearts, Ring of Honor officials accepted the resignation of ROH Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness.

Speculation surrounding McGuinness’ sudden resignation has begun to boil among ROH officials. While some chastised his leniency toward Bullet Club’s behavior in the summer, others believe that now McGuinness may be under extreme duress from Bullet Club’s Adam Cole for changing the stipulations of the Final Battle main event just days in advance.

One of ROH’s all-time greats, the former ROH World Champion has resigned. ROH management has announced it is forming an executive committee to oversee matchmaking in ROH. We wish Nigel McGuinness the best of luck in his future.”

Newly signed ROH star and Bullet Club member Cody Rhodes has been booked to appear alongside Adam Cole against ROH Champion Kyle O’Reilly and Jay Lethal when ROH appears in Atlanta 01/14/17.

As reported recently Ring of Honor have decided to bring back the Manhattan Mayhew event next year, today they announced that British sensation Will Ospreay will be at the event:

Will Ospreay On A Potential Future In WWE: “I Wanna Be Thrown In The Deep End”

Will Ospreay recently spoke with ESPN. The 23-year old “Aerial Assassin” spoke about a potential future in WWE and what it was like for the industry’s biggest names to praise his match with Ricochet from earlier this year. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

The reaction to his match with Ricochet from this year’s NJPW BOSJ tournament:

“It’s weird when you get guys like Stone Cold doing it, and guys like William Regal coming up to you,” said Ospreay. “Guys like Chris Jericho talking about it, Seth Rollins. Yeah, there’s some things that they would change, but other than that it was one of the most insane matches they’ve ever seen. And I was like, ‘Aw! That’s cool!’ Those are my heroes, the guys I watched on TV once upon a time.”

How he feels about possibly working for WWE one day:

“I just feel like right now it’s not the time for me. Trust me when I say this, WWE has always been the thing I’ve grown up watching — guys like Paul Heyman, who I’ve met, and Matt Hardy, who I’ve met. So many names who I can mention who have inspired me. The WWE will be the dream; however, I wanna go in there with a big splash. I don’t wanna go in there and be thrown in the shallow end of the pool. I wanna be thrown in the deep end, and trust me when I say it, I’ll swim.”

Other topics discussed include the thriving UK wrestling scene, deciding to sign with NJPW/ROH over TNA and following in AJ Styles’ career path. Check out the full interview at ESPN.co.uk.

Will Ospreay & Marty Scurll Sign With ROH, Lesnar vs. Goldberg Simulation

– Paul Heyman’s HeymanHustle.com has provided a “spoiler” look at the Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg Survivor Series showdown. The WWE 2K17 match simulation could very well depict how the match will play out next Sunday. Check it out at the Heyman Hustle and tell us if you think this is how the match will go.

– Ring of Honor announced on Friday that “Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay and “The Villain” Marty Scurll, two of the UK’s top free agents, have signed exclusive deal with the promotion.

Later this month (11/18) from Liverpool, Scurll squared off against Dalton Castle while Ospreay makes his ROH debut against World Television Champion Bobby Fish in a Proving Ground Match. The following night (11/19), Ospreay and Scurll will attempt to put their differences aside when they team up to face ROH World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks in a non-title bout. On the final stop of the tour, Ospreay and Scrull will clash when ROH invades London.

Will Ospreay To Work A Reduced Schedule Due To Injuries

Will Ospreay will be taking some time off in the near future to heal undisclosed injuries. Ospreay is widely regarded as one of the top independent wrestlers in the world. Unfortunately, his exciting, high-flying style comes at a price. “I’m not going to make the extent or my injuries public and being honest it’s nothing to be scared about or fear for my life. But if I carry on doing the style of matches I do at the rate I do them at my body has no time to recover and that’s when I’m gonna get hurt,” he revealed on Instagram.

“I’m going to honour some of my commitments as a champion in other places, and filling out my duties in touring with NJPW but once I’m in my home country I need to rest.” He urged his fans not to panic, as he’s able to walk and is relatively healthy. “But it comes a point where your body can only take so much and I’m making the adult decision to give my body time to heal.”
