Hmm, this is curious. I know ROH has been hurt a lot since the departure of The Elite (And honestly it was also hurt by the general trend of their stars being signed elsewhere and eventually it caught up to them). I've seen bits and pieces of their stuff and it hasn't been bad but I guess it isn't as buzz-worthy as it was before. Do you think this may help them, or bring the end of ROH?

Just please, don't adopt a rainbow colour scheme. Ya girl loves her rainbows but I also don't want eyesores.

:worried

That doesn't sound great, they're gonna have to really come back strong with Supercard of Honor. I guess it's not much different than MLW and NWA taking time off for seasons. I wonder if they'll still produce content for Sinclair like during the pandemic when their shows were just reruns or whatever?

A lot of speculation over what this could mean for them in the long term. Quite a few think ROH might just be done and others also think GCW might be buying it.

This is so surreal.

:hmm:

I don't really like the use of buzzwords and such, with the "fan focused approach" and "unique experience". They don't need to reinvent the wheel or anything, just push the right acts, maybe spruce up the production a little and make the shows more coherent with the stories and such.

Sounds like ROH is going to die but come back to life in a bit.

The way I see it this is probably ROH or Sinclair realizing the company needs a hard reset after not really being a drawing company in months.

But man, a major domino to fall in wrestling for now.

Holy shit this just got real.

If they don’t even have a roster it seems like it’s over.

With the SRS tweet Dale added, I'm thinking it might not be this drastic after all and they might just be heavily restructuring how they handle contracts maybe?

I didn't expect to come online and see ROH is done like this.

ROH needed a major reset, but I don't think releasing talent is the way to go. Not having enough draws was a good part of the problem.
