Ahead of tonight's announcement the rumors out there seem to be leaning toward it being Tony Khan buying "Ring Of Honor". Supposedly he'll come out tonight on Dynamite and make the announcement himself.

 
Surprised WWE let AEW buy ROH. Was sure they would eventually have it due to the tape library...

I suppose this is a "big" announcement but it honestly is a little underwhelming to me.

I mean, the 2nd most popular American wrestling promotion buys the 5th most popular American wrestling promotion.

If AEW intends to use ROHs tape library, cool, other than that, I don't see this being all that big a deal.

I can't even say I've ever watched an entire ROH show.

I think when AEW gets their streaming deal off the ground it'll be cool to have the ROH library. They're going to need a good amount of content to put on the streaming service.

Also, Tony could use ROH as a developmental promotion. This way you keep the very best talent on Dynamite and send the people who are not ready to ROH.

He needs to, with all the talent under the AEW umbrella, there just isn't enough TV time for them to show off their signees.

If AEW pops off with an exclusive streaming network, that would be great for their wrestlers, especially if they have streaming exclusive shows. I don't even count the YouTube shows though I should. Lolz

AEW should do this smart, unlike WWE when they bought WCW.

Keep both brands separate and have them interact occasionally....

Or, as you said, have ROH be the NXT for AEW, and just be a developmental promotion...

There's not much incentive for WWE to purchase another tape library, they already got their money when they sold the network to Peacock.

I swear TK needs to switch to decaf or something, he looks coked up every time he's on TV. LOL

Not sure there's a lot of value in ROH anymore other than nostalgia. TK better have a streaming deal upcoming soon because right now he doesn't even have a platform to broadcast the ROH library. He should keep ROH as a separate brand and use it as a developmental brand.
 
That was actually a pretty entertaining Tag Team Casino Battle Royale. That would've been the perfect spot for them the debut the Briscoes as the final team to enter the Battle Royale.

The incentive was to own wrestling and all promotions lolz. Especially if it kept AEW from getting into play with their own service.

Watch WWE counter and buy Impact and NWA. Lolz

Agreed on the whole TK thing, I can't listen to dude.
 
I'm so Brainwashed by oldschool WWF/E I cant watch nothing else. I booked a trip to Wrestlemania and don't even watch the current product but that atmosphere/energy and the pyro and of course the parties afterwards :yes:

I understand. I watched some YouTube clips of late 90's Attitude Era & was hit with a nostalgia wave. I don't watch any wrestling today. But watching Stone Cold, The Rock, Triple H, The Undertaker & the divas made me smile. Trish was hot fire back then.
 
Funny how Tony as a face announcer shouted No! No! No! as his friend Britt Baker got pinned. Rosa went over now I'm not so sure she's winning the title on Sunday.

I'm not so sure either. They may extend Britt into the summer/fall. Although I would like Rosa to win the build to this match has been kind of weak. It doesn't feel as big as it should be.

That whole dynamic of Schiavone, who's a face announcer, being friends with Britt Baker, who's a heel, has always been weird to me.
But hey, the idea of babyfaces and heels is just an outdated concept right? :rolleyes2:

Avoid sitting near the pyro might catch shit on fire again :lol: but seriously I've been to three WM that atmosphere/energy is like nothing else, a whole two day event might overload the senses.
