Marty Scurll Signs New Deal (Update)
2020 just started, but Marty Scurll is easily the hottest free-agent. WWE, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Ring Of Honor (ROH), New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and other organizations want him on their roster.
In the latest update, Dave Meltzer mentioned how re-signing with ROH is getting very close. Also, this would not just be any typical ROH deal. Scurll would be allowed to compete for other promotions in and outside of the United States. This would reportedly include AEW, but not WWE does not seem like an option.
UPDATE as of January 12, 2020 at 5:30 PM EST
Marty Scurll has re-signed with ROH according to PWInsier. No news on the length or amount, but he will take on lead booking and creative duties.
ROH clearly does want to lose their biggest star. They have struggled in recent years with the addition of NXT and AEW.
I’d love to see Marty Scrull with The Elite in AEW
I’d love to see Marty Scrull have 5 star matches in NXT.
But I’d love just as much to see him lead this batch of ROH stars to revitalise the company and become Champion.
Let him do whatever he wants. He cant lose.

What do u think about roh offering marty scrull a contract to be able to wrestle everywhere besides aew and wwe? And are u guys working on a deal for him to join u guys? He was one of the original members of the elite.

The ROH deal is also financially great. Scurll would work 40 dates per year for ROH and make WWE main roster money. Plus, he can work with almost any other promotion.
Why are people mad at Marty scrull for signing with ROH?

NBS Orders Series About The Rock
It is common to see The Rock in Hollywood films and WWE TV, but he can now add another ring to his belt. NBC is making a TV series about The Rock’s life and “The Great One” will star in the show.
According to The Wrap, NBC ordered a new series called “Young Rock.” The first season runs for 11 episodes and will chronicle a young Dwayne Johnson; who fans would later know as The Rock.
The Rock’s Seven Bucks Productions is producing the series along with others. Fresh Off The Boat writers Nahnatchka Khan and Jeff Chiang wrote the series.
No word on when the developmental show will be released, but it sounds like the TV station has faith in it.
The Rock Responds To The TV Series
The Forrest Gump-ian childhood I had growing up is coming to @nbc. Only my life included more arrests and kickin’ puberty’s ass when I turned 8 ♂️.
This is gonna be a fun show. #YoungRock https://t.co/slt8uUGzJw— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) January 12, 2020
My formative years, also known as my “Forrest Gump” years were wildly unbelievable, yet incredibly all true. ♂️
