AEW's "ROH" is the equivalent of what WWE's version of ECW was back in 2006

[@doctormeatball7618]

The ending of that Pockets/Pac match was hysterical. I've never seen a crowd give less of a fuck at an ending.

[@Sky_Blaze]

I went from watching every single AEW production for the first 2 years and waiting for it to get better to listening to Corny's reviews and hoping it would get better and now wishing it would fail so the good wrestlers could go work with HHH. AEW is hopeless unless TK gives up the reins to someone with experience

[@willdemore4418]

Thats pretty fucking stupid as that would leave hundreds without a job and lower the quality as they have no compitition. Also, talent would get paid less

[@willdemore4418]

And, HHH is not a better booker. They both suck. WWE is just reality television with nothing that makes sense, and aew is corny shit that doesnt make sense either

[@TheOnemanmoshpit]

Couldn't agree more, Jericho as ROH Champion makes 0 sense. Especially having just been eliminated from the AEW world title tournament in the semis. Way to devalue the belt! 🙄 Put it on The American Dragon! He can Wrestle ROH style, he's an ROH legend, and he was a finalist, so has credibility and is a bigger star than over the hill Jericho.

[@al5306]

@@NeutralGloomBot No. The territories can never come back. The whole point of the territories was that Florida wasn't watching what was happening in Memphis. Oregon fans didn't see the matches in New York. Everyone can watch everything from everywhere now whenever they want. You can't take wrestlers, use them in one place, and send them somewhere else where there's a new crowd because technology has made it so that everything from the Super Bowl to your aunt's cat videos are available to the entire world. The territory promoters were all like little Vince McMahon's who didn't want any other companies running in their area. They'd talk trash and sabotage each other. The talent weren't making the money they'd make when wrestling when national. It's a thing that fans romanticize but it was an outdated concept.

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

The success of WM1 proved that most ppl don't really care about the existence of territory promotions enough for it to be a sustainable model in the long term.

[@BlueAmerican26]

the fucking trina moment lol

[@insupportofjunhado]

"Jim Cornette" trended on Twitter yesterday. Turns out there are some ROH fans who still think Tony's show couldn't possibly be worse than Jim's, though there were also a few ROH fans who came out to say they liked Cornette's ROH, or at least didn't have high hopes for Tony's, or were just there to dispute the claims "Cornette ran off Generico/Steen/Omega"...really, Omega saw himself out of ROH on several occasions and people are somehow trying to blame Cornette for it!

Jim is right Chris has no need for the ROH belt. Jim is right that him getting beat by Claudio would not have changed his push one bit. It would have helped ROH, and Claudio be seen as something big, that hey ROH is something to see. I think Brain is wrong Tony did this because he wants to keep Chris Jericho happy, or Chris got Tony'y ear. Then told him hey put the belt on me I can get ROH on TV again I am a big star. Even though like Jim said no way in hell Chris well defend the belt. He well never show up on ROH event, to help get it over. Showing these TV/streaming channels that ROH is not worth it, as the Champion of the place wonlt even show up. It is just like Hogan did Vince at WM9 when he got the belt back after Yoko won over Brat Hart. He never defended the belt until King of the Ring. To me AEW, and now ROH are Khans toy boxes. All of this is Tony playing with his wrestling toys, doing his dream storlines like he did as a kid. Just the toys are real now,
