>>15342462I think the idea was that buying ROH and acquiring the catalog denied WWE an asset, bolstered his own catalog to use as a chip when it came to streaming rights and it all sort of made sense if you squinted. They had Punk, Danielson, Joe, Cesaro, Nigel Mcguiness, Chris Daniels, The Briscoes, Adam Cole, Jay Lethal and really 90% of the significant figures in the history of the company. It’s a way to make the lineage of your company seem a little deeper. Plus they got the rights to All In which is meaningful to that crew. I’m sure they at least floated spinning off one of the shows as an ROH show. Really they should just rebrand AEW as ROH because it’s radioactive at this point.
