Isn’t he still with Impact? Pretty sure I read him and PCO still there.Tony scooped up almost all of the ROH guys who's Impact contracts expried except for Kenny King.
10/14 AEW Rampage Spoilers: ROH & Impact (By Way Of ROH) Stars Appearing

They are. King is having good matches, and PCO is trying his best Terry Funk "crazy senior citizen" gimmick.
You don't even believe that.

It’s probably true, but also keep in mind Hunter probably offered 50k/year and TK’s dumb ass offered 250K.
All this ROH shyt would probably have been a lot better if TK bought them in private and just funded them like Vince did ECW.
ROH has always been about the up & comers that are next. Like if ROH was still standalone and Yuta/Garcia were the two top stars there instead of being taken up space on Dynamite/Rampage every week im sure they'd both be looked at a lot differently right now than they are.

HHH probably offered 250k and TK probably offered 750k guaranteed

All I know is I read HHH was interested.
250K was probably Taven's signing bonus.
Tony most likely offered Matt $1.5M, 2 years of prepaid XBox Live, and unlimited shirtless hugs.

Should have just gone with a YouTube show from the outset until he could work out a TV deal. I've said it before, they could have even put it behind a paywall like Impact does on there to make a little money off of it. Make it like $1 or $2 a month with access to the replays and I imagine they would have lots of people paying for it. $1-$2 a month for quality indie wrestling with high production values is a god damned bargain. There were a lot of ROH fans, just not enough for it to be kept alive as a major indie after AEW debuted on the scene.
Now that Rampage is back to being a live show (except this week because of financial reasons being international), it would be the perfect time to do it. They could film the ROH show before Rampage to air at a later date (like t hey do with Dark Elevation before Dynamite) or air it live on YouTube. That way you get them in front of a decent sized live crowd and you can keep the ROH stuff off AEW TV.

Hell I'd even say go so far as give ROH two hours. AEW fans are used to being there for 3+ hours for Dynamite, give them 2 hours of ROH to go with their one-hour of Rampage. Advertise it as a free ticket to ROH with a purchase of a Rampage ticket or like pay $5 extra and you get to watch two hours of ROH live. If they don't want to go then they don't have to show up or pay $5, I'm sure a bunch of fans skip the Dark Elevation tapings too.
There's enough talent on that roster that they can easily book two hours of ROH. Now rather it's booked well is a different story, but the quantity of talent is there.

Stupid mufukka snatched up Matt Taven and probably gave him a big deal
Guessing he'll put Cole back with them too. This dude is all over the place with his booking
And once again Cole will be the leader of a group. He hasn’t been a solo act in almost 10 years
