We reported earlier this week that ROH wrestler and former NFL football player Quinn “Moose” Ojinnaka re-signed with Ring of Honor. Now, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has revealed more details about his negotiation period.
Moose had been heavily recruited by Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling, who wanted to build around the 31-year old as a major star for the company. The promotion wouldn’t offer anyone full contracts until they closed a TV deal, which hasn’t happened yet.
WWE also recruited Moose, but they wanted him for their upcoming Tough Enough program, for what the Observer called a “male ringer” for the show. There was no promise of a contract if he didn’t win the show, but a possibility was still there.
As for now, Moose will continue to work for Ring of Honor, and has also signed on to do live events, but not TV tapings for Global Force Wrestling. He’ll also be appearing on the AAA Lucha Libre World Cup IPPV this Sunday in Mexico.
The feeling is that Moose will continue to get a big push up the card in Ring of Honor, despite the fact that his winning streak was ended in a match with Cedric Alexander last week.
