Does anyone know what Delirious is doing since he won’t be the booker anymore? He was my favorite indie wrestler :unsmith:

I just hope that RoH and AEW stay away from each other once the new RoH gets going, wait at least a year before you do any crossover.

It’s worse in the AEW thread where now all but a few are fully anti-labor (until the next Vince news drops)

The problem with Vince isn’t that he is a billionaire, but that he is objectively a horrible person.
Just because someone is filthy rich doesn’t mean that the laborer is always in the right.

I'm amazed only 20K saw G1 Supercard I don't feel like I've ever spoken to anyone who's missed it but I guess that is the bubble of this place.

I don't follow japanese wrestling at all, and I could probably only name a handful of japanese wrestlers most of which I know from AEW.

I'm genuinely curious, what does ROH do in 2023 that AEW doesn't do?

Put more hours of Tony Khan booked wrestling into the universe.

I was hoping he wouldn't book ROH, TK really doesn't need to be stretched further than he is.

My favorite Low Ki moment was when he and Gran Akuma had a kicking contest in a Ted Petty Invitational match.
I miss Gran Akuma.

Danielson seems to do best when he is training people like himself, who are 100% dedicated to the craft and have the self-discipline to want to work beyond what is required.
When 20 students are standing there looking at him blankly and seemingly just want to be told what to do, that is when he struggles. There is a scene about it in the Wrestling Road Diaries.

But he seems to be doing better with coaching in AEW, we know that Jade Cargill and others have worked with him a lot.

If I remember correctly, both Bryan and Nigel were going to join WWE. But Nigel told the truth about his health issues while Bryan lied.

Dalton Castle was on AEW Unrestricted and confirmed that he has heat with Emi Sakura, about who is the biggest Queen fan.

Serpentico ends up with a title shot because Claudio starts to swing him and doesn't stop before the time limit.

Some people say that Claudio is still swinging him to this day.

Jon Cruz is the worst, why is a guy like that taking up precious match time when an underused talent like Serpentico gets nothing?

At some point that coward Jon Cruz will stop dodging Serpentico so they can have match.

I wonder if some of the RoH women like Athena will be moved to AEW. It seems like a waste to hire Mercedes and then still have great female talent on AEW’s 4th tier show.
I know TK loves RoH and its history, and so do I, but getting viewers on Dynamite (and Colission) should be the priority.

I don't want to sound like an rear end, but why would moving them to AEW TV programming be a draw for viewers?

I'd rather see them wrestle consistently and with more time, despite it not being on cable.

RoH is the women's show

E: poo poo, forgot to take the quote for the edit

Paying millions of dollars to sign one of the biggest female wrestling stars in the world is pretty pointless if you have a relatively small roster of female wrestlers and half of them are only wrestling on RoH.
Dynamite and Collision need to be good as RoH is now.

Larry Sweeny is one of my earliest independent wrestling memories. Loved that guy. His TEXARKANA TV title was so great. And he had a great three way with Colt and Delirious.

I know that everyone hates IWA:MS, but I discovered indie wrestling during the magic period when IWA:MS was good, the Ted Petty invitationals to this day are my favorite pro wrestling events.
Seeing Larry wrestle two of my favorite wrestlers is a real treat.
