You said 'mass exodus'. I'd take that to mean at least three top talents.

Corino, Nigel, Kyle and in April Cole.

Fish is most likely staying. War Machine, Rush, Dijak etc are still question marks.

Why would they put the title on Kyle RIGHT before he leaves? Not saying he's not gonna leave, he probably is and that makes me really sad.

WCW put the title on Benoit right before he jumped.

Common tactic to get people to stay. At best it's a play at showing they really do care about keeping you, at worst it's easily used to lambast you to your audience ("look at this ungrateful guy, we gave him the belt and he still walked")

At most Kyle will go full time with New Japan, which means he would still show up in ROH. So this is not a big deal at all. This is the same thing Elgin has been doing before he had another one of his fights with ROH. Kyle is too much of a wrestling purest to choose WWE over New Japan.

Yeah, TNA did that with AJ as well didn't they? TNA also put the title on Jeff Hardy whenever it came time for contract renewals.

Preying on dudes being marks for themselves is fundamental to the wrestling business.

Yes. They did it with AJ (it actually had been the plan anyway though, unlike Hardy) and AJ wanted to stay but Dixie low balled him IIRC.

anyone going to the hammerstein ppv in march? i didn't know it was even a thing until today, and i thought a bit about getting one of the remaining floor seats, but the ROH roster kinda does nothing for me so i'm not sure it'll be worth it :\

Seminars for indies are usually in-ring, so unless somebody flies in Super Sasadango Machine, I don't think that will be part of it

Because honestly it was the right move to do, he had to win the title at some point off Cole, so I don't blame ROH in the slightest.

I kinda think that if TNA put their title on someone who wasn't signed (as they have on multiple occasions) we'd be laughing them out of the room.

A desperate attempt to keep him, plus an excuse to do one more Cole/O'Reilly rematch @ the Jan 4 NJPW show where Cole probably goes over via BC shenanigans if Kyle hasn't agreed to re-sign.

the reason they do this if he hasn't signed is so they can try and convince him to stay with a title run and if he leaves they get to do a title change at the tokyo dome

As rovert has pointed out a few posts up you can't be playing a long game with the whole landscape exploding right now. He's gonna get paid one way or another.

This doesn't even make any sense. Earlier this month Meltzer was reporting that ROH was getting aggressive in attempting to renew these contracts, now he's claiming they've been slow to offer new deals. Has anyone told the Bucks and Silas Young that ROH is moving get slow on This? I think Meltzer has been losing it for awhile now. It really shows after he jumped the gun on Hero and Mickie James.

This thing about O'Reilly and these Texas shows is also comical given the fact that New Japan has a tour during these dates. Again Kyle will do the New Japan and ROH combo. He and Davey Richards came up together to be real wresteers, not sports entertainers. He's a real fighter who would never subject himself to the WWE cartoon world.

I agree that Kyle will commit seppuku in the center of the ring after the great dishonor of losing to Titus O'Neill.
