Well according to that tweet, BOLA last year was when they made agreements with Cole, Fish, O'Reilly, and Ohno. So who knows.
Meltzer this morning said Ricochet will likely be free to sign anywhere around the first of the year, and he thinks he'll end up in WWE. That's been a pretty foregone conclusion for a while though, similar to what Cole was.
Riddle is Bola right? May go for him as well?

They might, but NJPW might also. WWE's had years to sign him and haven't, so maybe they're content with just letting him go. Hell, the whole reason he mainly started in Evolve is because Triple H told him to go there when he was at a WWE tryout.
You know that the Fight Club boys are DG nerds cos they brought over Eita.
Dude is SO fucking good.

tell em tri is still the funniest shit ever
That'll be a fun week until he starts getting suspensions and fines because just being around his piss gets the testers high.

Notable names at BOLA who will be free agents soon (or already are) that we know of:
- Ricochet
- Riddle
- Haskins
- Omega (it's likely he re-signs, but he will be available)
- Scurll
Now of course, if LU doesn't pull together funding (and it ain't looking good), most of those guys enter the market as well. And Meltzer mentioned this morning that he thinks WWE would be interested in Pentagon.
Weed isn't a suspension in WWE. Just a fine.
Fight Club is run by Dunne, right? Or is it Seven?

Yeah, if you're saying lol @ the prospect of Riddle being in Japan without facing trouble for his weed love, you'd better be saying the same about him being in WWE
Matt Sydal's never coming back to either for the exact same reason

lol WWE doesn't care about talent smoking weed. Tons of guys do it and just pay the fine. Sydal was suspended for synthetic stuff. And Riddle's issue is less that he does it and more about how vocal he is about it.
I'm sure NJPW as a company doesn't care either, but the country of Japan cares a hell of a lot more about it than the US.
Unless it's that synthetic stuff and I'm betting he partakes in all its forms.

Agreed completely

So long as Riddle avoids the synthetic stuff and doesn't pull a Swagger getting pulled over for a DUI, he can just quietly pay the fine like most others do presumably in the WWE.

Lmao no
Riddle is definitely not the type to fuck with synthetic shit

I mean maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, but if we operate under what we definitely know for a fact, he'll have less trouble with it in WWE than in Japan.

On the negative percent chance it ever happened, it would admittedly be nice to see WWE sign him for the one billion percent chance the WWE Fans would dance around (ignore or downplay) or support him publicly saying he smokes weed so he doesn't beat his children

how many years until cody is back
he's gonna be back eventually

2019 at the earliest. He really wants to still be in the indies when Danielson comes back so he can do that match at least once
That aint going to happen though is it.

He will be, because like I said, NJPW as a company probably couldn't care less.
But there is undoubtedly more risk in Japan than in the US. That's the point here.

Never hopefully, he's basically a worse Dolph Ziggler in every aspect, and say that as someone who hates Ziggler
He'd have been lucky to make it out of OVW if he wasn't connected.

Pentago in WWE would be hilariously bad
Green is illegal in UK. But as long as you aint growing it they don't give a shit. Weed is fuck all compared to alcohol.

I'd bet most PROGRESS regulars are on a shortlist for WWE at this point, at least for the U.K. brand of it ever gets off the ground. Wouldn't be surprised to see them grab Haskins soon.
its disgusting that he parades his family around in instagram looking all happy and fulfilled and shit

Enzo and Cass were broken up June 19. 14 months and 15 days after their main roster callup
I'd give Pentagon 12-16 months max before they have him either unmasked or regularly jobbing to Bray
Great end to King Of Trios today. As shown earlier in this thread, Sendai Girls Vs British Strong Style was the final and it delivered big time. I was surprised by the match up but Chikara has pulled off some crazy inter-promotional matches in these tournaments for years now. It was an amazing match that includes a dive off of a castle!
2017 should absolutely be remembered as the year of British Strong Style and if custom comps still exist, a Best of BSS set should be high priority to be made. Just look at who they fought this year alone: The Elite, Ringkampf, CCK and Kings of the North. Then there's the other trips matches against combinations of Ospreay, Scurll, Haskins, Banks, Callihan, Dijak, Keith Lee, War Machine & Jeff Cobb. Now they have three more great matches with Team WhiteWolf, The Throwbacks and Sendai Girls to add to the list. This should absolutely be a stable that is remembered fondly years from now.

The unmasked clause is of course not inherently bad, he could always be Dr Wagner levels of handsome and it opens new doors for potential
But the jobbing to Bray part would be definite death

Pentagon would probably do well in NXT, better than any Lucha guy before him, because he's got a great gimmick, a ton of charisma, and can cut promos in Spanish well enough and with enough energy to get over. He's got cross-cultural intangibles like Asuka did and still does. They'd likely not strip him of his mask like they did with Sombra (who also lost his gimmick by proxy because CMLL owns Los Ingobernables) and he has way more charisma than Kalisto. He's legitimately cool and would move a shit ton of merch (by NXT standards at least).
Of course, Vince would ruin him, but I do think he'd succeed more in NXT than Sombra or Kalisto ever did.
