The ladder\u2019s contract has been reported to be up sometime in September. While Scurll\u2019s is rumored to be up sometime in November.<\/li>\n<li>It has been widely accepted that Scurll was out the door to AEW or NXT once his ROH contract was up. But, the interesting part of this story is Taven. The general consensus was that his contract was up after Scurll, this was the reason that he got the title over Scull at Supercard in April. All of those ideas are seemingly dashed, Rush vs. Taven at the end of September appears to be the answer to the problem of Taven potentially leaving the company.<\/li>\n<li>The participants and match-ups for the #1 contender tournament have been revealed.\n<ul>\n<li>Quarterfinal Match 1) PCO vs. Kenny King<\/li>\n<li>Quarterfinal Match 2) Dalton Castle vs. Mark Haskins<\/li>\n<li>Quarterfinal Match 3) Colt Cabana vs. Marty Scurll<\/li>\n<li>Quarterfinal Match 4) Bandido vs. Jay Lethal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Live Event Results<\/h3>\n<p>There were no live events this week.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Upcoming Major Show(s)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>ROH Global Wars (9\/6, 9\/7, 9\/8)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Dearborn, MI; Villa Park, IL; and Milwaikee, WI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your updated card can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Global_Wars_Espectacular\"><b>HERE<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Upcoming Events<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>ROH Live (Live Event) 9\/6\/19 in Dearborn, MI at Ford Community Center<\/li>\n<li>ROH Live (Live Event) 9\/7\/19 in Chicago, IL at Odeum Expo Center<\/li>\n<li>ROH Live (Live Event) 9\/8\/19 in Milwaukee, WI at Potawatomi Casino<\/li>\n<li>Death Before Dishonor (PPV) 9\/27\/19 in Las Vegas, NV at Sam\u2019s Town Live<\/li>\n<li>Death Before Dishonor (TV Tapping) 9\/28\/19 in Las Vegas, NV at Sam\u2019s Town Live<\/li>\n<li>ROH Honor United (Live Event) 10\/25\/19 in London, UK at York Hall<\/li>\n<li>ROH Honor United (Live Event) 10\/26\/19 in Newport, UK at The Newport Centre<\/li>\n<li>ROH Honor United (Live Event) 10\/27\/19 in Bolton, UK at the Bolton Whites Hotel UK<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All current live events are located on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/live\/upcoming-shows\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rohwrestling.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Latest TV Highlights: 9\/1\/19 ROH Wrestling<\/h3>\n<p><strong>ROH TV Results<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>September 1st, 2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Toronto, ON at Maple Leaf Gardens<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Airing on Sinclair Networks and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/\"><b>rohwrestling.com<\/b><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Another week of highlights and video packages with one match.<\/li>\n<li>Here are some recap highlights:\n<ul>\n<li>Highlights of Dante Caballero and Joe Keys were shown.

I have zero facts to base this on; this is just my perspective on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>This week I want to talk about the absolute potential of ROH\u2019s management being an utter joke. All of this is predicated on the rumor that Matt Taven\u2019s contract is up sometime in September. This has been reported widely on the internet, and Taven has not responded to the rumors. My assessment of the situation is that Taven\u2019s contract is up and he is shopping his services to both AEW and WWE (NXT).<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1844573657\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>If Taven ends up walking, it will prove one of two things:<\/p>\n<p>1) ROH management chose to put the belt on Taven knowing his contract was up sooner. They did this because they were convinced that he would re-sign. If he leaves, it shows they at best have no idea what they are doing from a talent relations perspective. If you wanted to get a commitment from him, have him re-sign before you make him champion. Or have Lethal get a quick win on him to get it back.<\/p>\n<p>2) ROH management had a pretty good idea that both Taven and Scurll would be leaving the company in the fall. If this scenario is true, that means the management truly thought that Taven was the better person to put as the face of their company for five months. I personally disagree with this idea, only if you look at the popularity of Taven vs. Scurll. It\u2019s not even close; if you wanted to make lemonade out of the Marty Scurll situation, you would.<\/p>\n<p>1) Make him world champion and still create Villain Enterprises. This would get PCO, King, and Flip over as a dominant team.<\/p>\n<p>2) Then have a member of that team defect and take the belt form Scurll, and have him be the new face of the company.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, here we are with Rush, who I really like, getting the title because we know the current champion is on his way out the door. Literally, if this happens, it is like the last six months of ROH booking were absolutely meaningless.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tyler has been a wrestling fan for 20 years. He\u2019s from Columbus, Ohio.
