Is TK shoot retarded? Did Punk talk him in to this? I could probably understand throwing a few Milly at it for the tape library alone as they need a backlog for the inevitable AEW Network, but trying to run it as an active promotion is legit stupid. It should be on Dark at most.

I think he believed his own hype at the time, given they were on a hot streak. He thought he was the special sauce when it's clear he's not.
>Did Punk talk him in to this?
Almost certainly.

Of all of Tony's oddities I think his obsession with making RoH a thing is the one I fail to understand at all. He needs to focus on AEW, his already successful promotion. Not even AEW fans give a single fuck about all the RoH shit that infests their shows.

Lmao what. What network that Tony was hoping to pickup ROH? AXS TV is unironically the best option for Tony to negotiate

Meltzer has no inside information. RoH is going to be on Honor Club so he's concluding that means the TV deal failed. And he's making the obvious assumption that Tony's going to try getting RoH a TV deal again at the next possible opportunity. This fucking carny doesn't know shit about anything.

Do you have any idea how much of a RoH mark Tony is? And I mean mark in the truest sense of the word. I doubt Punk needed to talk him into it.

A TV deal would have been only for a year, which would be a hard sell to a network since they don't own the IP.
WWE had to get a 1 year Hulu deal for streaming so it would match up with rights renewals and it was complete shit.

March 21 to May 22 they were pretty hot

It all fell apart when Tony showed he has no backup plan for injuries.

Five years ago if you would have told me a new company with relatively obscure stars and literal who owner would have been the first time anyone has successfully forced the WWF off a time slot I would have probably not believed you.

If you told me three years ago AEW was going to is going to completely fuck itself by buying Ring of Honor I would have assumed you were having a stroke.

What a fucking wild ride AEW has been.

I guess all that old shitty footage that no normal person could stomach watching wasn't as appealing to streaming services as some people thought.
