Simon Grimm Headed To Ring Of Honor

Simon Grimm (the former Simon Gotch in WWE) is on his way to Ring Of Honor. Grimm was released from WWE earlier this year, and he’s been working on the indies since then. He’s scheduled to make his debut this weekend in Florida and looks to be working a MMA gimmick now.

Joe Koff On ROH Touring More & The Young Bucks

During a recent interview with CBS Local Sports & Chuck Carroll, ROH COO Joe Koff talked about Ring Of Honor expanding their touring schedule.

“Well we always take into account the markets that have TV, and we look to see if there’s a match there. And if there is — does it make sense? So we have done that as we have grown our portfolio of stations. There are a lot of markets we already go to because they’re in large markets, they’re in big markets. It might open up the West for us, which we’ve been talking about anyway — expanding out further west than we go. So that that’s a real possibility, and probably we’ll see some markets being added that might be attributed to their being there or just because we would have gotten there anyway.”

He also spoke on the recent issues between The Young Bucks and WWE.

“To be really honest with you, that was between them and WWE. I think they handled it perfectly. If they were to ask me my advice, I would probably have advised them to do it the way they did it. This is beyond Ring of Honor. It’s nothing that happened under our watch. We didn’t have anything to do with it. They acted very responsibly. They are very, very good businessmen. Not only are they gifted performers, they are very good businessmen, and they’re smart about how they do business. I think in their minds — I don’t speak for them — it probably wasn’t worth a war.”
