Terms of the deal were not disclosed. &#8220;I chose ROH over the other companies because the hybrid style that fans seem to enjoy most these days, I started,&#8221; Black told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/news\/roh-signs-international-star-pj-black\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ROHwrestling.com<\/a>. \u201cIn Africa, we didn\u2019t have a specific style. At a young age, I traveled to the UK to learn the British style and combined that with lucha and some strong style, creating my own hybrid style, which is what everyone these days seem to follow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> As we reported on <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2019\/01\/27\/roh-signs-pj-black-blacks-exclusive-comments-include-passing-on-a-wwe-offer\/\">January 27<\/a>, Black spoke with Dot Net&#8217;s Anish Vishwakoti at the January 26 Bellator MMA event and noted that he signed his ROH deal the night before after passing on a WWE offer. &#8220;New Japan was always a goal of mine and, of course, they work with Ring of Honor,&#8221; Black told Vishwakoti. &#8220;My Lucha contract came to an end, I got an offer from WWE to go back, but it wasn\u2019t really what I was looking for right now. With AEW popping up, I guess everyone\u2019s trying to sign free agents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>Check below for the new Pro Wrestling Boom with Jason Powell and his guest Rich Bocchini (f\/k\/a Rich Brennan) discussing his work with Tony Schiavone in MLW, working for Michael Cole in WWE, his trial by fire in NXT, being produced by Vince McMahon, and much more.<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: solid 1px #dedede;\" src=\"https:\/\/app.stitcher.com\/splayer\/f\/180116\/58480495\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2304667590\" 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":[415,63,101],"class_list":["post-51633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-roh_news","tag-pj-black","tag-roh","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
