>>12022470For the tape library. It made sense at the time since he had just signed big name former ROH guys like Punk, Danielson, Samoa Joe, Adam Cole, etc.
Why he continues to keep operating it as this weird zombie promotion that's intertwined with AEW is beyond me. ROH shows are just AEW shows with ROH logos slapped over them. Do these shows make any money? It's not like he bought ROH and had to live up to some previous TV deal commitment. He easily could have bought it, did that last Supercard of Honor show that had already been announced, and shut it all down.
I seriously think the only reason Tony kept ROH running is to keep the ROH belts active, because that's literally what you do when you buy out another promotion in a TEW game, and that's all he knows about booking a wrestling promotion.
