It seemed once AEW was created, ROH lost lots of star power. The controversies with management don't help either They have lost star power and they have now turned Lethal heel and that is not going to help them IMO. They did it with Dalton Castle after his injury filled reign and that has not worked. The Briscoes have been flopped back to their heel side for quite a while and no-sell everything. You just cannot keep pushing fan favorites to the heel side. It seems like there is less than 100 people at the television tapings. They seem intent on pushing RUSH to the moon and he has defeated Jeff Cobb clean twice. While RUSH is good, he sounds like Nikita Koloff speaking with his limited English. The faces all seem generic other than Cobb.

I heard the best line Sunday night from the commentary position on ROH. There was a 6 man match and the pitiful Cheeseburger was wrestling a guy appearing to be over 300 lbs, Dan Maff, who apparently last wrestled for ROH in 2005. Burger decides to jump on Maff's back to put him in a sleeper. Maff takes off with Burger on his back and does a forward roll Steen/Owens cannonball into the corner turnbuckle with Burger in between. Caprice Coleman was on the make with Ian and as Burger slides off of Maff and then out of the ring and comments "I think I saw a bit of special sauce coming out of Cheeseburger" in that deadpan manner he has. I lost it at that point.

ROH definetly suffered with the incarnation of AEW. with all the drama, they are about to let their best women's wrestler walk. they are steadily sliding down the top companies in north america with tv/youtube exposere. i set my ranks like this..... WWE, AEW, NJPW, IMPACT, NWA, MLW, then ROH. well, maybe even WOW before ROH as well....

Marty got a hell of a deal, but from AEW's side, I see literally zero benefit to a cross promotion with ROH outside of Scurll himself. The market for promotions this size is so damn saturated right now, I'm not entirely convinced this is going to work out very well for Marty or ROH.

The market for promotions this size is so damn saturated right now, I'm not entirely convinced this is going to work out very well for Marty or ROH. I get your point, but raising up the industry is what AEW is about, and it is their friends, and not truly competition. You could get some nice matches with Lethal, Cobb, Bandido, Rush, Briscoes, etc., plus possible other talent shares with NWA and some others, especially UK talent with Marty's connects.... I think AEW has a lot of talent, but people say the roster needs expanding, and this might be a cool way to do it. AEW could literally give us the kind of cross promotional (open wrestling world) matchups that only existed in a Utopia previously. I get that for money sake it may not be a good idea, but sometimes, just sometimes, dreams may win out.

I love how Nick Aldis is a RoH main eventer, and he is not even signed to the company. Not saying I disagree with it. He completely deserves to be there. But still ,it is funny.
Is it just me... Or does it seem like RoH has a better relationship with the NWA than NJPW. NJPW has kinda acted like they could care less about RoH. Or, at least to me, it doesn't seem like that alliance/shared universe of RoH, NJPW, and CMLL really exists any more.
