Current ROH wrestler and probably the face of the company in many respects, Jonathan Gresham recently revealed and he and Baron Black have created a new promotion called TERMINUS.
Both men spoke with Fightful about the new promotion. Here are some of the interesting excerpts but you should def read the entire interview HERE
Fightful: How and when did TERMINUS Get Cooked Up?
Baron Black: This is basically an idea that me and Jon had for years. We came up training together in Atlanta and we always had this idea, we used to tell each other after training or after shows and on the road, ‘we’re going to run a show. We’re going to do it and it’s going to be awesome.’ We were saying that for years. If you see the line of collaboration years in the making, it is absolutely real. We’ve been talking about this for a long time and the stars finally aligned for it and now we’re finally doing it.
Fightful: As we look at this, is this a one-off, will there be more?
Jonathan Gresham: It’s more of, I like to keep things in my pocket and am a private person. It’s something that I’m not gonna talk about right now but it’s probably something that’ll come up a little later. We definitely won’t be signing people, that’s for sure.
Fightful: A lot of people saw that, and they assumed it was a reaction to the ROH news. This was in the works, according to Baron, long before that.
Jonathan Gresham: My goal, after I finished in-ring wrestler was to be a coach, promoter, anything to help the wrestling industry with things that I have learned with my travels and time in wrestling. We’ve been cooking this up for a while. The timing is really funny. We don’t really know what’s going to happen with Ring of Honor. They could come back in April with Super Card and be back to normal, we don’t really know. It’s definitely not because Ring of Honor is going on hiatus. We were actually supposed to be running this show, this last weekend, the 14th, but New Japan STRONG reached out and had me do their show not the 15th, so it was impossible for me to run this show because they flew me out a day early. Just impossible to do this show, so we moved it to January 16, which, in hindsight, is better.
