ROH just released their entire roster and told them they were free to sign elsewhere.

Meltzer said ROH is definitely coming back but the plan is to go back to being just an Indy without any contracted talent.

Danhausen was trending on Twitter earlier. People want him in AEW.

I think he should do a Piper's Pit style interview segment.

Maybe it could work but that's a really big clash of personalities. Danhausen might be better in Dark Order.

We'll have to wait and see.
There's enough talent out there now for another rich guy to come along and start up another big company.

Re: ROH Thread (Spoilers)
Danhausen would be a interesting pick up, plus he does have that OC type appeal where you don't have to be a wrestling fan to "get him". Wrestling wise I haven't seen enough to judge how good he is so his ceiling might be limited. I think having him interacting with certain wrestlers would be entertaining, especially "Pepsi Man" 
As for the other wrestlers - Lethal, Gresham, RUSH, Dragon Lee, Bandido should definitely be considered. I won't be surprised if Flip turns up in AEW, but Idk how close he is with The Elite guys and he hasn't been in BTE for ages. Same with Dalton Castle who was on BTE but don't know if he's buddies with the guys. Briscoes would be a solid pick up too. But TK only has so many spots and can't sign everyone for AEW.
But if Sinclair are putting ROH on the block, the tape library would definitely be worth acquiring. Especially for AEW to get the rights for "All In". If you think about it, It may well be a smart decision for TK to buy it and run ROH independently of AEW and have some AEW guys and girls work there especially those who aren't regularly on Dynamite and Rampage. Anthem could consider it too and keep ROH ongoing. Or they go in together and use it as a developmental of sorts so each year they could all work together for an "All On" type supershow.
Another possibility is if WWE gets the ROH library I can't imagine them signing anyone so they'll just put ROH on the shelf like what they did with WCW and ECW. Best case scenario for ROH is that AEW, Impact, NJPW, CMLL etc give the guys and girls places to go and maybe they all can work together to keep ROH going. Since with its history (outside of the RF debacle) it's definitely worth staying around.

Tony buying ROH and keeping it around as a place to send guys they aren't using + as a dev league could be good.
It would give him a lot of extra content if he ever starts up an AEW Network.

That or Jim Besos could, just think he'd cut costs by having them work part time at Amazon & tape shows at Amazon warehouse(s) and bring in SD Jones as top guy so Prime becomes Amazon Special Delivery instead. Put ROH on Amazon SD too. Then get Musk to do the ROH Starrcade events in Space with guest host William Shatner!, take that WWE UNIVERSE!Bandit wrote: Fri Oct 29, 2021 1:05 amElon Musk can start a promotion and have them wrestle in space.Dr. Zoidberg wrote: Fri Oct 29, 2021 12:32 am We'll have to wait and see.
