how long did it take nxt to get on tv

 

[Comrade Khan]

Yea... and ROH doesn't stand out enough imo

i think it never has is the issue - its had good and bad years but I feel liek the spirit of ROH has rarely been weekly tv

 

[Comrade Khan]

its always been more of a super indie no?

 

[Smart Marx]

I have to disagree on the tv landscape. Tv stations are fighting over wrestling right now. WOW got on tv, there’s a little person wrestling show on now, cw wanted NWA and eventually got NXT. ROH would be able to find tv, but Tony has to shop it.

 

[Comrade Khan]

like outside of a few short periods. it still lack identity rn

 

[Comrade Khan]

honestly I would keep the history of ROH but I would blow up the rest and build it back from the ground up

 

[Comrade Khan]

give it identity and some key players that you can ONLY see in roh

 

[Smart Marx]

ROH focused on their supercards. Sinclair owned it and they only did syndicated tv. So yeah, the ROH tv isn’t as important as it would be AEW, but that’s also because ROH had 2-3 supercards a month. Similar to NJPW.

 

[Smart Marx]

so Tony could go either route. Get a tv show going or increase their supercards and keep them on honor club. And increase the subscriptions.

 

[Comrade Khan]

at the end of the day they need a media deal for ROH to spend money on it. we can go one about ticket sales and ppvs etc but there's no denying both aew and wwe, their main source of revenue is media deals

 

[Comrade Khan]

so once hes done renewing AEW, ya, thats what he needs to do. he needs to find a media deal for ROH, doesn't matter who or where. right now they don't get anything outside roh subs which id assume is at a loss because of the network overhead alone

 

[Comrade Khan]

hence why I think it makes sense hes using all ppl under aew contract and using his current shows to film. that way its not an insane amount of extra spending for basically little to no revenue back

 

[Comrade Khan]

it sucks as a viewer and a fan tho

 

[Comrade Khan]

how long did it take NXT to get on tv?

 

[Comrade Khan]

10 years?
