ROH & CMLL Working Agreement

Sometimes things can go really really wrong for companies after they sign a working agreement. However, in my book that perception has changed due to the agreement that was struck back in 2014 with Ring of Honor Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Due to this agreement numerous have gotten increased exposure in both the United States and in Japan. Do I think this changes the perception of working agreements with the United States wrestling companies.... well no!

​But the perception of a working agreement outside the United States have always been looked at as a positive and you can look no further then the long standing relationship between two of the worlds oldest companies or well at least one of them I am of course talking about the agreement with NJPW and CMLL that has been in place for a very long time. In an effort to further push ROH as a global brand they partnered up with CMLL which was helped by the agreement that was already in place between CMLL and NJPW.

​Now the question is with how well the ROH-NJPW working agreement has gone for both parties since the agreement was first put in place back in 2014 will we see the same from the new one. Well I will take this approach and say that the Lucha style has always had a place in ROH but has never been featured on a prominent level. I firmly believe that this agreement will help both companies and their wrestlers which would help both companies and names become more international brands.
