how long did it take nxt to get on tv

 

[Canadian Dragon]

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

 

[Canadian Dragon]

its always been more of a super indie no?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

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.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

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

 

[Canadian Dragon]

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

 

[Canadian Dragon]

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

 

[Kross Rhodes]

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.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

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.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

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

 

[Canadian Dragon]

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

 

[Canadian Dragon]

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

 

[Canadian Dragon]

it sucks as a viewer and a fan tho

 

[Canadian Dragon]

how long did it take NXT to get on tv?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

10 years?
