ROH News: Kevin Kelly Now Working Full-Time, Talents Miss Taping, More

– PWInsider reports that Kevin Kelly is now working full-time for ROH. Kelly had been working a separate regular job but is now working as a liason of sorts between talent and the front office. Kelly has introduced specific “office hours” at live events so that talent can bring concerns and questions to him.

Kelly is one of those, along with BJ Whitmer, Christopher Daniels and Steve Corino, who present creative ideas on the days of shows while head booker Hunter Johnson heads up creative. He will also be leading the way on other projects that have been in the works for a while, such as a ROH App and Roku channel.

– Beer City Bruiser, Silas Young and Mandy Leone all missed last night’s TV taping. Bruiser and Young missed due to flight issues, as their flight from Milwaukee to Philadelphia never took off and there is no heat on them. Leone missed due to an illness of some kind.

– The company has plans for events in Japan next year in conjunction with New Japan Pro Wrestling.
