ROH News: Another ROH Star Heading Into Free Agency

Published

Silas Young
Silas Young has revealed he will be a free agent very soon!

As we near the close of the calendar on 2018, Ring Of Honor could be losing a number of stars as they are about to hit free agency.





We’ve already heard how Cody will not be re-signing with the promotion and his final match has already been announced, as he will challenge Jay Lethal for the ROH World Title at Final Battle (see that announcement here). As the page turns to 2019, The Young Bucks, as well as ‘Hangman’ Adam Page will also have expiring contracts and now it looks like there’s another member of the ROH roster that could be on his way out.

In an interview with WrestlingInc’s WINCLY podcast, two-time ROH World Television Champion Silas Young revealed that his contract with the promotion is expiring at the end of the year and addressed his next move while speaking about the other crop of talent that’s approaching free agency:

“Well you know, you can never say never in wrestling. You know, WWE’s really had a thing in the last couple years where they’ve really been signing a lot of talent up. You know, my time’s up at the end of the year. I’m not opposed to talking to either side. You know when it comes down to it, it’s a business at the end of the day so you gotta go with what’s best for you and your family so…I’m you know…I love Ring Of Honor. I feel like there’s things there I’d like to accomplish still so you know, saying that…nothing’s set in stone.”

If you use any of the above, please credit The Chairshot for transcription.

EA’s Take: Full disclosure, I’m not super familiar with Silas Young. However, he’s 39-years old so if he ever wants to make that move to WWE (if they’re interested), this is likely his last chance. I can’t really see him doing much on the main roster, but Triple H just spoke this week about NXT being enough of a brand that they could have their own Superstars who never get called up. Silas could be a perfect fit for that.

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
