In terms of ROH, they were barely floating above water when AEW started, but once the pandemic hit and them offered to still pay wrestlers, that's what predominantly did them in. Also AEW circa 2019 and 2020 consisted of mostly indie talent and shared talent from other promotions mostly because WWE was buying/signing anyone who could run the ropes. Also the main focus of Kahn buying ROH when they did go under was the fact that All In was an ROH show which birthed AEW, now be truly honest with yourselves, how would the optics look if your competitor bought a library and one of the items is an item that created your company?

Swear TSC stay with n-gga's who want to be right with the ish they post so bad, n-gga's is like the mule from Family Guy

Mu fukkas like to deflect and juelz when calling them out. :mjlol:

Only a small portion are actually level headed and honest. And this is over play fighting. I can’t imagine how they are in real life. :dead:

This is a lie. ROH didn't begin to struggle until AEW started and they lost their top stars :what:

Okada and Ospreay the only NJ talent that AEW picked up and mu fukkas act like TK signed the entire Chaos faction. :dead:

And you forget all those talent were tight with each other. :usure:

Omega wasn’t even a legit ROH talent at the time. Bucks had planned to stay, but ROH lowballed them with contracts. Cody was never gonna stay in ROH.

Jay White came in last year, not now. Dudes swore he was E bound, then he went with AEW.

White, Okada, Os already did enough for NJPW. What else was there for them to do? When A new opportunity came they took it. They don’t owe you or said company shyt.

Tony Khan bought ROH because he grew up watching them and it was another toy he could purchase and play with. It was the same as him buying this as a kid:

ROH was not "barely floating" before All In. They were solid until at least Final Battle 2017 when they had Cody drop the title to Dalton castle and then to Jay Lethal. That is when the All In talk and The Elite countdown talk started on BTE. They weren't in bad shape until the MSG show...because AEW took their talent that would've headlined.

What did them in was being convinced to put on All In by the elite, while they were looking for a money mark to make a company off their business case...which ROH hosted. Look at that card...it is an AEW card. Damn near everyone but Rey Mysterio has been in or is currently signed to AEW.

AEW backdoor'd ROH with All In, and then started signing it's wrestlers, leaving it barren. They did business with a handshake while offering it's wrestlers. They're doing and did the same thing with NJPW.

They did not lowball them, They could not afford to match the AEW offer :comeon:

Omega was a part time ROH wrestler who performed in numerous big matches for them.

And nobody ever stayed in ROH aside from the Briscoes.

The Bucks left ROH/NJ to start AEW. How could AEW offer them anything when it didn’t exist? :dead:
