Adam Pearce to TNA?

Yesterday Adam Pearce was fired as booker of Ring of Honor (ROH) by owner Cary Silkin. He'll be replaced by Hunter Johnston (Delirious) with input from Jim Cornette. The masked grappler also reigns as head trainer at the company's wrestling academy in Pennsylvania. That's interesting to say the least.

It should be noted that Pearce had just turned down a TNA tryout. It's likely he'll contact them or they'll contact him again shortly. Pearce had been ROH's head booker since the departure of Gabe Sapolsky in October 2008.

I mildly enjoy Adam Pearce. Thought he was with the NWA full-time though. I thought his ROH work was temporary.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Hopefully this means good things for ROH. I don't know if it was Gabe leaving, or Pearce booking, but I definitely think ROH went downhill when he started booking.

ROH feels like ECW after they got Barley Legal on PPV. Months after the ppv Raven, Saturn, Richards were gone to WCW.

Not sure if this is a situation to blame on just the booker. Losing so much talent to WWE and TNA didn't help. Seems like he's a scapegoat for their problems.

I'm glad ROH is going to change, the style was great the advanced booking was a treat. However, it wasn't must see TV every week. Perhaps Delirious and Jim will do better, looking forward to it.

I only know Adam Pearce from my EWR game. I put him in a tag team with Paul Burchill called Pain United, and they've been in some pretty good matches. What does he even look like?

Yeah, he works pretty well in the ring. Good heel.
