Tony will go crazy will all the stress of booking ROH weekly, Dynamite, Dark; elevation, Dark, Rampage, as well as overseeing Fulham Fc and the Jaguars.

Tony is going to prove booking wrestling is actually pretty easy to do.

It's going to basically be "You two feud" then let the characters dictate what happens, and then let the story evolve from that.

I've been thinking about this a lot, recently. Tony Kahn's booking seems to be pairing people together and hoping it turns out well, and it has been. There seems to be a bigger emphasis on what the wrestlers themselves can bring to the angles, which I imagine will work out pretty regularly as long as your locker room isn't toxic.
From a persona perspective, if I were working tv for 15 minutes a week and I had any amount of advance notice that it was going to happen, I'd probably spend hours contemplating what I was going to do, even if it's just the plane or car ride over. That's probably more deep thought about a quarter hour of television than WWE usually has.

Guess I'll buy Supercard of Honor now. Wonder if there'll be a noticeable shift in the production or if they'll use the previous team and everything.

Okay, so this match has been brewing for a while on social media, etc.

But then the story came out recently that there were WB execs who didn't want Dem Boys in AEW because of past remarks that they've since apologized for.

What if ... just what if ... Big Biceps Tony bought ROH just so he could have this match happen under his watch :v:

That match is going to rule, and also feels like the starting gun of Tony owned ROH.

I have to admit, this is the most intrigued I’ve been for an ROH show in years.

Now, am I going to get the PPV….that I don’t know. Drop some more awesome bouts, TK!

iirc so far we've got Gresham vs Bandido (banger), Dem Boys vs FTR (banger) and Swerve vs Alex Zayne (very likely a banger). I'd be very surprised if Deonna didn't have a title match, and Josh Woods cut a promo about the Pure title on Dark this week so there's every chance he'll be there too.

Supercard of Honor will end with the AEW talent going over in every match then TK inserts Brian Cage into the main event and he goes over too while Tony gets a mic and laughs 'ROH, welcome to the big leagues kid'

The one thing is it is fairly easy to imagine the Pure and Tag title matches moving the belts on to guys TK already has under deals. And the rumour mill suggests Gresham might be as well.

They seem pretty interested in Woods so I could see that match going either way.

So we're now up to six announced matches for Supercard:
Jonathan Gresham vs Bandito for the ROH title
FTR vs Briscoes for the tag titles
Mercedes Martinez vs Willow Nightingale for the interim women's title
Josh Woods vs Wheeler Yuta for the Pure title
Jay Lethal vs Lee Moriarty
Alex Zayne vs Swerve

https://twitter.com/TonyKhan/status/1508587421390282756

Interested to know what else will get announced. Hoping they have a few more matches with ROH regulars in them. Rhett Titus still has the TV title, right? Or are they saving that for TV?

The women's match is, according to Khan, because he doesn't want to make Deonna work twice in the same night... except the Briscoes are also booked on the Impact show?

It's probably because Deonna has taped ROH title defenses coming up but he can't really just say that. Doesn't Impact keep kayfabe on their tapings?

Spoilers note Purrazzo defends A championship during the latest round of tapings, but doesn't specify whether it was the ROH or AAA title.

Not sure why they'd go for an interim title instead of a #1 contendership. Taya Valkyrie is #1 contender for the AAA Women's title but that doesn't stop Deonna from defending it against other women.

That makes less sense to me than an interim, to be honest.

I really am baffled by how much wrestling fans hate interim titles. It's obviously a silly conceit but it's something that exists in actual combat sports and it gives you a prop and easy storyline to play with

In Taya's case at least, it seems to be #1 Contender*

I'm guessing we'll get a bunch of Impact people coming through the portal that is forbidden to do some RoH stuff further down the line, including Deonna Purrazzo.
