this is so out of my knowledge base on both the company and the cable company. Im guessing the network is ass?

John Oliver did a whole episode about them once I think actually :heston about how bad their propaganda they force their "local news stations" to recite verbatim lol

But idc about that as much they were just not taking care of ROH well, that's why no one wanted to stay

Yeah, that relaunch was numb as fuck. You let all your talent go and it’s not like you had the most right roster.

You really couldn’t afford to let anyone get swooped.

And the plan was to relaunch as a true indie with no contracted talent of their own, GCW would have wrecked them in every market lol

I don’t think I got it. I always watched on the website.

Followed by YouTube when they started uploading them.

Oh yeah I've never been in a Sinclair market either lol when it first started you had to wait until the following Thursday to watch on the website which fucking sucked. But when I started back in 2020, it was always uploaded Monday mornings usually and also aired for free on Fite Monday night

Joe Koff seemed like a cool President, but Sinclair kept fucking with him.

Not a bad price Tony Khan bought for ROH. I do hope when he gets a TV deal with the product. It does well.

I think he overpaid lol

I used to enjoy ROH, but, that changed quite a bit. It just got stupid and boring.

Now it'll be interested to see what TK does with ROH under his ownership. The video library alone is great- especially since now he owns All In and use that for history packages for All Out in a way. If he doesn't get a tv deal within the next year, I would hope they'd just operate out of Universal or something and have tapings for YouTube at the very least

Yeah I had the thought a few weeks or so ago that AEW could just convert the AEW Dark Universal tapings to be ROH tapings as a worse case scenario

Definitely could work. I’m curious what’s taking so long… but then again I’m sure these kind of deals are long processes.

Yeah the longer it takes the more I wish he'd just say fuck it and do an ROH show in youtube in the meantime

it wouldn’t be bad to do as a primer in the meantime before a tv deal. People always seem to scoff at shows being on YouTube but it’s 2022 and everyone and everything is on the internet.
