We recently reported on the rumors circulating popular U.K. independent wrestler, Mark Haskins, signing with Ring Of Honor. Since then, Haskins took to his social media account in order to break the news that he has officially signed with the company.
I've officially signed with ROH. 2019, shit is going to go down. Keep watching. #TheBrass

It didn’t take long for ROH to jump in. The company announced that “[…] he’s coming to #ROHAtlanta & #ROHConcord next month!”
Mark Haskins debuted for Ring Of Honor earlier this year during their Honor United tour in the United Kingdom. He would win their ROH International Cup in August after defeating Elite member, ‘Hangman’ Adam Page in the final. This victory earned him a shot against ROH World Champion, Jay Lethal, where he would lose to the reigning champion.
It’s reported that Haskins signed with ROH around their recent Final Battle PPV in December.
There was one wrestler in particular who was thrilled to hear the news: Jimmy Havoc. Havoc, who has teamed extensively with Haskins for PROGRESS Wrestling, gave Haskins a glowing endorsement and said he’s now looking for a new tag team partner.
Fuck yes! Couldn’t be happier for Mark, he’s worked his arse off for years and deserves this.
Applications now open for a new tag partner. Must be angry, kicky and willing to do all the work while I stand on the apron drinking beer and occasionally giving moral support. https://t.co/WkLm7mWnLA
