This comes as a surprise, and Matheson is quick to note that this was dependent on Holland doing his own due diligence regarding what happened with Perry in Chicago.
"Holland will have to wait until Perry's situation is resolved, and he will certainly have to thoroughly investigate what Perry did to have his contract terminated in Chicago, but if he doesn't think that's a serious obstacle, Holland will go all in for Perry."
