Yeah, Sinclair doesn't really care as long as ROH keeps sending them weekly shows they can dump on the local affiliates at 1 a.m. or whenever.

NotQuiteQuentin offered a very intelligent answer.

But the human side is that Joe Koff ROH's CEO considers Delirious like a son. There's been outright coups to overthrow Delirious but Koff want listen to criticisms/grievances.

Kevin Kelly is not even 100% gone. He just left his office job due to the added stress of doing commentary for New Japan. He'll still be doing announcing work as freelancer. Just more ammo ROH haters are trying to use against the company. Even if he was gone it's no big deal. Kelly has been mediocre at best as an announcer dating back to his WWE days. Him being the voice of ROH has made the company look lame as he presents an uncool image. His claim to fame is being the guy The Rock would always make fun of and refer to as hermie.

Btw, War Machine are booked on the Honor Rising shows, but wait they are headed to WWE.

At the Dragon's Reign event, my dad and I were at the end of a row on the side of the curtain and halfway during Elgin-ACH, Koff walks out, puts his hand on my dad's shoulder and just watches the rest of the match like that. It was loving weird.

This was the same show where the 500 pound guy behind me bent the steel chair in half.

One time at the rec center RoH runs out of in Chicago Ridge, Kevil Kelly asked if he could cut in front of me in the urinal line because the show was about to start and that place only has one bathroom.

ROH has internal people who could probably do they job well (Alex Shelley is probably better off as a commentator or at least in a Corino type role anyway) but they'll just hire Joey Styles and use Whittmer because they're not too smart.

I cannot imagine a way ROH could murder the interest I have in them faster than Whitmer and Joey Styles on commentary.

Whittmer (or anyone) with Joey Styles would be really bad because Joey Styles has JR disease and hasn't given a modicum of an effort to do decent commentary in a very long time

Was Dijak not friendly with Delirious? It don't follow why ROH wasted him.

As revealed on MLW Radio last night ROH is no longer using Kevin Sullivan. Personally I thought his stuff was the worst part of the recent product. BUT he was greatly liked and helpful towards the locker room. Sullivan was a political actor back in the day but now he's a 67 year old man who was just happy to get out of the house these days. But a paranoid Delirious and Koff felt he was too much of a threat so they axed him.

Meltzer will likely report it as they let him go as Corino left mid storyline. Much like the Truth Martini departure.

I think the 2-day packages on ticketmaster are just screwed up because here are the charts for PPV:


and TV:


Still not great though. They should definitely start announcing matches and talent. Also when did ROH move over to ticketmaster? I thought they were doing alright with Showclix. I think those 2 rafter seats might be premium value.

Oh and lol at wrestling twitter who don't know how to take a screenshot or clean their computer screens.
