We previously covered the announcement of the first three members of the Pure Excellence tournament to crown the new ROH Pure Champion. Mark Haskins and Rocky Romero have also been signed for the tournament bringing the number of announced participants to five. All of whom are vying to win the ROH Pure Title
Rocky Romero
The eight-time IGPW Jr tag team champion Rocky Romero has become most known for his work with New Japan Pro Wrestling. While he is a Junior Heavyweight he is no slouch technically and is just as happy working on the mat as he is working the high octane style we associate with junior heavyweight wrestling. With 22 years of experience under his belt, it’s hard to find many more well-rounded performers, this makes Romero a fantastic addition to Pure Excellence and a contender to win the ROH Pure title.
Mark Haskins
Englishman Mark Haskins is obviously at home on the mat being from the UK. Haskins as trotted the globe since his debut in 2006 wrestling for the likes of TNA (now IMPACT!), Dragon Gate, and many more promotions around the globe. With his globe-trotting ways he has added different aspects to his game from all over the world but he has always kept his technical base, for years the sharpshooter was the deadliest move in his arsenal. Now housed in Ring Of Honor “Overkill” Mark Haskins could be ready to lead the new generation of Pure wrestlers and showcase the modern British wrestling style as ROH Pure Champion.
