>>8150043 This. And even without going to what audience you are catering to, fact is they are dead company belts, zombie belts, if you will,- with no real meaning except the legacy of ROH long ago.
They did two ROH branded events in all last year. included the image of ROH homepage listed active roster. It's basically a in memoriam page.
Now, this could have worked, if Tony got the tv rights, put up lets say 6 paperviews a year where all of them belts would be challenged, and also had the balls to drop part of the belts to his NJPW friendos so they'd have a reason to show up to face challengers also in AEW before the ppv events to hype them up and send people over to NJPW to challenge outside the regular programming while also promoting AEW by being there.
But you know, it's Tony.... he can't plan that much ahead. He didn't even know what he was buying. A video archive of shit that....is it even being aired?- and no TV rights so he can't isolate the ROH as a second show.
