Jay Lethal Signs with ROH

A LETHAL SIGNING


Ring of Honor management are happy to announce that they have come to terms with Jay Lethal and he is now officially under ROH contract. The former ROH Pure Champion was a part of Ring of Honor from 2003 – 2006 and in that time frame captured the ROH Pure Title, contended for the ROH Tag Titles, and battled everyone from CM Punk to Samoa Joe to Christopher Daniels.

Returning to the fold at “Best in the World 2011â€, Lethal defeated “The Prodigy†Mike Bennett and is now scheduled to challenge for the ROH World TV Title against champion El Generico THIS Saturday night in Chicago Ridge, IL!
“Jay Lethal is a wrestler that the ROH fans have watched grow up right in front of them.†Said ROH Executive Producer Jim Cornette, “From his days with Special K to his battles over the Pure Title, Jay Lethal became a man in front of the ROH fans and now that he’s back in Ring of Honor, we can all see how much of a fighter he has become. It’s exciting to have him back here with us, and I for one look forward to seeing him and Generico go at it on SBG TV!â€

Great signing by ROH. Lethal is a great talent when used properly and not given ridiculous gimmicks. I was hoping that WWE would sign him but this is probably better because he will be used properly here. Another good signing by ROH before they start taping their new tv show.

With the TV deal this is smart. He has some name value and I have always been a huge fan of his. Happy to hear it.

They have a great roster heading into those tv tapings and like you said he has name value so he will be able to draw in a few more fans. Look forward to seeing how he is used.
