462KiB, 792x638, Tony Khan Advised To Stop Booking ROH For Hardcore Marks.png
Konnan opened up during his Keeping It 100 podcast about Tony Khan for a bit. During the conversation, the former WCW/TNA wrestler expressed disapproval of Tony Khan’s approach to booking the ROH brand, believing that Khan’s methods do not appeal to a new audience.
>"He’s a Ring of Honor fan, grew up watching it, [and] now he bought it. To him, it has sentimental value. And all the hardcore marks, which are less than he thinks, they all pop for all these great matches that he puts together for them and him. But you’ve gotta forget about them — you’ve already got them. Like Disco [Inferno] says all the time, you’ve gotta draw new fans.”
>Konnan added, “Bro, why would you buy a company to have it on YouTube? … Why wouldn’t you make ‘Rampage’ or ‘Collision’ one of your ROH shows?”
