While it's not on TV, probably is going to be much more loose than Dynamite/Rampage with booking matches for fun. Not sure how strict times are going to be but while it's not on TV I can see them letting things roll longer than they would on say, Dynamite.

I'D LIKE TO SAY: Have barricades to slap, but we aren't there yet. Come on tony!!!

From the looks of who is booked, I think they're going to be a bit freer with the idea of being a supershow or super-indie: have titles and stories around the titles, but also allow guys to come up and come in a lot more readily.

Yeah this is what I'm here for. I don't usually give a poo poo about whatever people fall out of the fed and land on dynamite. I'm more interested in seeing new folks come up through the indies, like Billie Starks or Blake Christian ( though I think the latter was in NXT for a bit?)

Plus I'd imagine that some folks from the AEW roster who normally job or get relegated to dark Will have some time to shine.

It can also function like NXT should, which is giving people the company has an investment in tv time to get better without putting them on Dynamite or Rampage whilst actually having stakes because ROH has a decent amount of cache

I hope the ladies' division allows for Julia Hart, Abadon amd Skye Blue to develop

Why do people constantly think that old people in wrestling are capable bookers? Did Daniels book some secret promotion I'm unaware of?

IIRC Whitmer was booking ROH for a while? I think between Scrap Daddy and Delirious. I may be wrong.

Because most bookers in history were older wrestlers?

Tony should let the AI book ROH.

And by AI I mean he should select the outcomes by playing Wrestling Empire.

Has TK or anyone else actually said that he's stretched thin? Is there any evidence of this at all? Because it sounds completely made up to me

It's worth noting that most wrestling bookers burn out after a year or so if they're doing weekly TV and Tony has two other jobs in addition to that so yeah, it's not a point of shame that he's overextended. It happens. Ideally there's a contingency plan for him to step back for a bit and then come back later when he's refreshed.

I would say it is probably a positive that there are other distractions because having a full time job booking wrestling sounds horrible.

Meltzer constantly argues the mid-30s is the best age to be a booker and if you look at the great bookers at their peaks it's true. (except for Gedo)

The evidence is that he's running two promotions and working for both a football club and a football team. There are only so many hours in a day, even for the grotesquely wealthy.
