ROH Death Before Dishonor - July 21, 2023

Man weekends are so crowded now I'm just realizing though, we joked about past ROH PPVs going against rampage bc even though that's not a big deal but not optimal, but their choices this week are going against Rampage and the most watched angle in wrestling since Roman is on Smackdown (its FS1 tho) or their new Saturday show lol

The only reason I can think why they wouldn't do Sunday is tickets won't sell as much and the ticket sales are more important for ROH revenue but that would have been so much better

while I agree with all of this, I think the other side of the coin is that ROH is niche and their small fanbase is less likely to crossover for anything else. Similar to the Impact Friday Specials conundrum

I’m thinking of maaaaybe watching this, even if I got no idea about any of the storylines. Guess if I find a good stream, and if I want to skip Smackdown and Rampage I might

only really need to know:
Athena Willow - u know the story here, they are 1-1
Dark Order vs Righteous - Righteous poached Stu from DO, now they big mad
The Kingdom keep getting screwed by management in their eyes about not getting a two on two with the Lucha Bros who havent defended

I think thats it

so ya I think they just forgoing any pretense that they will draw casuals, if that makes sense

Oh I don't even mean fron their stand point, I just mean from mine lmao even then tho, I think going against actual AEW programming is not optimal at all even if it's just rampage. But Friday tickets probs way better so worth it
