If Tony signs him he'll probably make his debut at "Full Gear".
HOLY SHIT! Horrible news for the industry but great opportunity for AEW. Tony get on the phone. I want Jay Lethal, Bandido, the Briscoes, Gresham, etc.
Damn...this is not a good look for wrestling overall
not really ROH fan but hopefully their talent can make through this tough period especially with places like AEW having more talent than tv time and WWE pivoting its development/business model.
That would be a way of taking part in the talent exchange (forbidden door) by having the ROH guys appear on both AEW and WWE programming. The only problem is Vince would Bury the talent that AEW is building up in order to look like the stronger federation.The rosters are full on both AEW and WWE. Impact could use some talent, but the other two not so much. If I am Tony, I am calling Vince to see if he'll go in with me on a bailout for ROH. Or just do it himself, if he is a wrestling fan.
I can see Jay Lethal and the Briscoes in NXT

They would have a legit black world champion on the roster. Plus Lethal has history with the Elite.Jay is too small and the wrong color.
Andrade has been campaigning for them to leave. He has what he wanted now.The Briscoes are larger than life as far as personality. They're just not roided up guys. Supposedly the WWE passed on them before, in part, because of some past legal stuff. If they don't end up in NXT I'd love to see them in AEW if it leads to a blood feud with them and FTR.
For some reason I feel like Dannhausen is gonna end up in AEW and if they want Andrade to have a faction then they need to sign Rush and Dragon Lee
What incentive would Vince McMahon have to do a business deal with Tony Khan and buy ROH together?The rosters are full on both AEW and WWE. Impact could use some talent, but the other two not so much. If I am Tony, I am calling Vince to see if he'll go in with me on a bailout for ROH. Or just do it himself, if he is a wrestling fan.
Jay Lethal vs Tommosa Ciampa would be a great opening match for Wrestlemania or the NXT Take Over Show.Jay is too small and the wrong color.
Jay is too small and the wrong color.
Yeah I mean I think this take is just some lazy ass writing as a face. They did it with Naomi for years....they really do it with the black female wrestlers. Alicia Fox went down that path as well. They come up with all this shit like "The Man" for Becky and Charlotte.....Sasha is probably the only one who made it out safe from writing and I feel like she did that on her own.In addition to that she needs to stop with the whole "hair twirling happy-go-lucky" act that she does to the ring. She needs to come out on some power walk all business Amanda Nunes type of shit.

Vince is a businessman and not a superfan that wants every promotion to work together on some fantasy shit.
99% of the ROH roster is unknown outside of their hardcore fanbase.
I'm not even sure if Vince would be interested in their tape library since WWE doesn't have their own network anymore.

He's smaller than Xavier isn't he?
Vince saw ECW as a possible developmental type of promotion. Somewhere he could pick off the top talent and send guys down to that needed more work or coming back from an injury. That's why he put money into it.What incentive did he have of helping ECW? And not buy, provide a loan that would be paid back.
Xaiver has an inch and is 20lbs lighter, so Jay is going NOWHERE near WWE... Well, maybe if R-Truth retired tomorrow and someone was needed to do segments with Tozawa, then MAYBE.

Look at all the guys he eventually signed from ECW that he wouldn't have gotten if ECW had died sooner.
WWE has their own developmental show now, so there's no need for another one anymore.
Dudley Boyz, Dawn Marie, and eventually Paul Heyman himself too. Damn near all of ECW eventually got signed to WWE at some point.Not talking about a developmental promotion. A strictly:'Hey I need x amount of dollars and I will pay you back with this amount of interest." Forbidden Doors and developmental... Nobody wants that let alone Vince
And of all the wrestlers who signed with WWE long term who also didn't have a previous relationship with WWE: RVD and Tommy Dreamer and Taz that really isn't a lot.
I dont watch Impact but they might've made a new based on this promo alone
