You don’t see the irony here…?

ROH is for them to get their reps. I ain’t seen Jay Lethal in months. Fucck them dudes.

Definitely not opposed to bringing in fresh talent that is actually signed to the company and will be around though. You have to in wrestling.

Just saying for now that is how ROH should be utilized, just like NXT is and basically how old ROH was developmental for WWE, NXT, ROH, NJPW, TNA, AEW, etc.

i think they both especially that Vanilla Baby guy been on ROH for a while now. He's had like 8 matches on there since December. Kevin Knight not as much but he's had reps elsewhere as well tho.

Question is what makes a wrestler not worthy enough for AEW and it has to be ROH? Look at WWE for example. They got some new talent thru out the past 6 months or so, all established names. Yet women like Guilia and Vaquer and guys like Ricky, Ethan Page, and Shawn Spears got sent to NXT while Penta was sent to Raw and Fenix looks to be headed to SD. Obviously NXT in a better place than ROH since it has a tv deal and bigger market share, but putting guys that are able to help more in AEW doesn't make as much sense sending to ROH just as some of the guys in NXT can help more on main roster.

One thing I would mention about Jay Lethal is how he was or still is in the stable with Jarrett and the fans rejected him being on tv. So who knows if that had an effect on any creative plans they may have had for Lethal alongside him or what. Feel like he could've been a part of that whole angle and featured as well. With JJ retiring soon apparently, who knows what could be next for Lethal.

Dark: Bishop Kaun defeats Jay Lethal (7:34)
AEW Dynamite #286 - Dark Match @ Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA


Jay Lethal defeats Alec Price
AIW Barely Lethal - Event @ The Roxy At Mahall's in Lakewood, Ohio, USA


He had a dark match on last weeks dynamite then an indie show on friday. he hadn't wrestled since late february in a tag match

Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh defeat McCallion & Slade (3:34)
ROH on HonorClub #106 - Online Stream @ Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, USA

and then before that early february during jericho cruise. so healing an injury could've been possible especially with the tag match not fully depending on a wrestler but rather both of them, and short time limit likely means not much was done. but fact that he had the dark match recently gives some hope that he could be eased back in soon, but we shall see. no word on any injury tho from looks of twitter.

schedule is up until DON which is in Glendale area. then the next dynamite and collision taping a few days later is in El Paso. now El Paso is directly west of Arlington/Dallas area, not sure by how much but thats irrelevant. so they got All In on July 12 there. so thats like a month and a half away basically. doubt they planning to go west after El Paso since the previous two shows are in Arizona and New Mexico for go home episodes. Maybe they gonna continue east and go the southern route like San Antonio and Houston or maybe even hit some southern states. hopefully they come down here. will have to see how the june schedule looks like. wouldn't be surprised if they stay in the south for that month.

crazy the disparity between certain fans when it comes to pricing. one girl on twitter was posting on how she paid $70 to attend Revolution. was in response to a tweet saying they would pay $25 to attend the worst dynamite before $2500 for the best WWE event. and of course had the comments saying there was a reason it was $70 and so cheap. mind you that Revolution was a highly regarded ppv and in a major arena, not no small venue. but crazy how people would insult the cheap price saying the product is cheap so thats why they can't charge more and justify ticket sales of thousands of dollars or more.

Tubi is under the FOX umbrella

With Evolve being on Tubi, it means that basically every company that's not WWE is blocked from getting a TV deal with Fox until the deal expires. MLW tried to have their show Fusion on Tubi 5 years ago and WWE got that shyt blocked due to SmackDown being on Fox.

The fact you try to “save face” even just a little for a racist is wild. But you Stan Klansley, so there’s that.

Capitalism and predatory marketing has brainwashed people into thinking that just because something costs more that makes it better.

The only network WWE doesn't have a monopoly on is Paramount and I don't think they want to get back into wrestling.

WWE as of now has NBC Universal (NBC/USA/Peacock), Netflix, Fox (Tubi), ESPN (To an extent Disney)
