ROH Sign Indy Duo To Exclusive Contracts
No WWE approach for these two...
All the headlines about ROH and their talent in recent times have surrounded the likes of Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks heading for pastures new. However, it isn't all bad news for the company, as in the days that followed Silas Young signing a new three-year deal, ROH have signed two more big-hitters from the independent scene to exclusive contracts.
First of all, former WWE Superstar-turned-Frankenstein monster PCO has joined exclusively, with PWInsider breaking the news over the weekend. The 50-year-old, known to WWE fans of an older vintage as one half of The Quebecers, has been one of the biggest success stories 2018 so far, generating a cult following thanks to performances that defy his age, and vignettes that have included him biting the head off a live (ish) fish, among other wacky things.
Speaking about his new deal on the latest episode of Main Event Radio, Mr. Pierre Carl Oulette said: "It's the best deal in my entire career. Between the opportunities, they are giving me, and the money involved, it is my best deal ever. It is only the beginning of a new adventure, a good challenge. I'm a bit stressed, but I feed off a good challenge like this. It gives me a huge chance to step up to another level and be able to accomplish that. It is something great. I'm hoping for things to turn out the way I want them to."
The other indy star to sign an exclusive contract over the weekend was Brody King - who is expected to start with ROH at the 15 December tapings in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
King, who has been finishing up his scheduled indy dates over the last few weeks, made a name for himself while turning out for the likes of PWG, AAW, and MLW.
