They're OK. Good move by ROH, they're big draws these days.

Now they're black balled from the WWE.

Apparently, WWE removed all Young Buck signs at HIAC.

But good for them. Never missed them because they'll be having the same matches in ROH as they have been having in NJPW.

HIAC was before the bucks revealed who they signed with. And there's a big bucks sign behind Roman Reigns during his entrance.

If that rumor's to be believed, then WWE decided to black ball 'em probably because The Bucks declined their offer.

The last time I watched an interview with The Bucks (it was some time last year), and when they were asked about WWE offering them a contract, they were like "We politely said no". That could be the case here, as well.

Don't forget about PWG. It's all the same with them and it's just stagnant at this point. If they could go five minutes without doing a suck it/too sweet taunt it'd be a step in the right direction.

They're cool, but way too overrated. Honestly nothing is unique except their pants. They use the same move throughout their entirety of all their matches. If they were buff and WWE endorsed they wouldn't be anywhere near the level of popularity amongst the indy marks.

As noted, The Young Bucks recently signed a full-time deal with Ring of Honor. The new deal is for one-year, so you can expect to hear the various rumors to start up again next summer.

The new deal is exclusive for North America, except for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. They are still able to work for New Japan Pro Wrestling and NJPW actually encouraged the brothers to sign the ROH deal because officials don't want them getting hurt by working so many indie dates with how hard they go in the ring. NJPW's relationship with ROH will also give them the ability to coordinate dates for the Bucks.

The Bucks insisted on being able to still work for PWG. They also retain merchandising rights and get to keep their official t-shirt store with Pro Wrestling Tees. This is significant as no other ROH contracted talents, even though with non-exclusive deals, are allowed to have PWT stores. It's also worth noting that other similar deals, such as Jay Lethal, Bobby Fish, Adam Cole, ACH, The Briscoes and Kyle O'Reilly, do not allow them to work for PWG or anywhere else.

There's a feeling on the indie scene that this new deal shows ROH parent company Sinclair Broadcasting is willing to spend more money than ever before for talent, making it a major landmark deal.
