The news comes on the same day that MLW announced that Rush was pulled from an April 4 main event booking &#8220;due to the insistence of a third party promoter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Rush is exclusive to ROH in the United States, but he will continue to work for CMLL in Mexico. MLW CEO Court Bauer issued the following statement earlier on Rush being pulled from MLW: &#8220;This is a match and organization Rush wanted to be a part of but sometimes politics get in the way and that&#8217;s what this comes down to: politics.&#8221; It&#8217;s obviously a good signing for ROH and a loss for MLW. It&#8217;s odd that so many companies talked about open borders at one point in 2018, yet have been locking talent down in late 2018 and early 2019. Obviously, the announced launch of All Elite Wrestling has led to some changes, though in fairness ROH may have pushed for exclusivity with Rush either way..<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: International star Rush (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rushtoroblanco?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@rushtoroblanco<\/a>) has signed an exclusive contract with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RingOfHonor?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RingOfHonor<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Who would YOU like to see Rush compete against in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ROH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ROH<\/a> ring?? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wUtva4KQ6t\">pic.twitter.com\/wUtva4KQ6t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ROH Wrestling (@ringofhonor) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ringofhonor\/status\/1085280641418186753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 15, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><i>Check below for the new Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast with Jason Powell and Brian Fritz discussing the formation of All Elite Wrestling and their launch rally.<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: solid 1px #dedede;\" src=\"https:\/\/app.stitcher.com\/splayer\/f\/180116\/58097200\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2546434057\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,6],"tags":[359,630,63,360],"class_list":["post-50604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-roh_news","tag-cmll","tag-mlw","tag-roh","tag-rush"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
