kek what a hot fed
they gave away 1000 tickets for free, still couldn't fill 200 seats
>>19988060More people than WWE Evolve though
>>19988081>ROH is now proud to compete with WWE ID greenies looking to get on NXT
>>19988056>ROH are now in AWA pink wall studio eraGrim
>>19988056There's levels to this
>>19988056saves money e-pig
>>19988056That unironically is more chairs than I thought they'd fit in that tiny ass space. No idea how Tony got tricked into this one.>400 person capacity WITHOUT a ring btw
>>19988056KWABOTY
>>19988056Small venues are fine but did they have to pick one that looks so soulless? What's stopping them from renting out a warehouse or some shit because then they could at least mimick the feel of old RoH
>>19988056Mind you these people were held hostage for 5 hours as well
>>19988056At that point turn off every light but the ring. Fucking amateur hour.
>>19988056This makes NXT look like Wrestlemania jesus christ
>>19988202This is in Jax too which compounds it. Jags have multiple facilities they do deals with. There are way better facilities outside of that as well. Tony got tricked kek
>>19988193>>19988235>Tony got trickedHe's a special boy. But I don't think he was "fooled" into this. I think nobody wants to watch ROH even with free tickets. What a waste of 40+ million $$$
>>19988185COMFY AND SOVLFUL
>>19988210>locked in a small room for 5 hours with the smelliest smarks imaginableliterally worse than auschwitz
>>19988185I'd say it's more like mid-to-late 90s USWAIt looks comfy desu
>>19988252Ok fair enough but in what universe is this a good idea or a good look? Isn't this a taped show that is aired... somewhere? It is smaller than NWA POWERRRRRRRR's set.I don't see how he would willingly tape there unless it is a scenario in which dad made a deal and he got forced into it. You'd think he'd want at least 400-500 around the ring. High school gyms are bigger.
>>19988056It's terrible how Tony has completely shit on ROH's legacy. This is just embarrassing.
>>19988291Delirious did that long ago now he's working with Dreamer to kill TNA.
>>19988210>4-5 hours of squash matchesholy shit
>>19988297ROH tapings during Delirious's run had significantly more people in attendance than this. ROH is only still around to justify AEW's bloated roster. None of the belts matter, none of the shows matter, none of the matches mater. It's just AEW Dark with ROH logos slapped over everything.
>>19988321Yeah the 400 seat venue without a ring is crazy for even a fuckin backyard fed.
>>19988056I wish I could see how far back the seats on the right are to get a better idea of the count, but I've seriously been to all indy women shows at my local community center that looked more lively than this.
>>19988056Wow 30 whole people!
>>19988269Jumping in, it's a better idea for ROH than anything he's done with it for a year before it, maybe 2 years. It's been an inaccessible show to anyone who isn't a supermark and willing to run through hoops to see a show where nothing matters from AEW's stand point or even their own. The belts are just memorabilia for all intends and purposes. But it's still too little too late in my opinion. Should have just cut losses and sold the remains to I don't know, NWA?
Cost-cutting to this extent makes no fucking sense when he has over 200 wrestlers under contract. just fucking cut 30-40 people you aren't using and do a bigger venue. if tickets are free there's no way he couldn't fill 2300 arena or something.
>>19988330I went to an ROH show 20+ years ago that had way more people in attendance than this. This is just sad.
There's zero shot there's 200 people here.Also Okada is on the tapings.
>>19988411The idea itself is fine but again you could go to a high school gym or vfw hall and have more room and better setup. I don't get paying for this kind of low rent shit.>>19988492kwab :(
>>19988291how many people do you think went to roh tapings back in the day?
>>19988514not them but TNA was getting 1-1.5k in the impact zone regularly and ROH was doing 1k~ regularly back in the olden times.
>>19988501Why is there so much space? lol. They could easily fit another 100 people in there.
>>19988056>30 peoplefucking shit Joshi feds like ice ribbon mog this shitshow.
>>19988056GRIM
>>19988056wow literally no one cares about ROH
>>19988637>They could easily fit another 100 people in there.Apparently they couldn't find another 100 people
>>19988637Probably a fire code thing.
>>19988056This is great for ROH. Give them their own dedicated crowd that isn’t right before an AEW show and tape 4-5 episodes about every month. Really want it to get a boost going forward because that would be great for the industry
>>19988637Maybe it was a test run. They're keeping the tapings there, we'll see what happens in a few weeks.
looks cool to me. smaller shows are way more fun than large arena shows
>>19988865Tony might as well change his name to Ed Gein because he's raping ROH's corpse.
>>19988056holy fucking GRIM
>>19988879I'm sure you care about ROH, piggy
>it's ok when NXT does it
>>19988923NXT has a tv deal
>>19988923ROH is developmental now?
https://youtu.be/U1_OTgbhTtQits the pbs studio
>>19988865TK has said multiple times offers have been on the table for ROH but he turned them down for one reason or another. Wonder if he either finally got the price he wanted
>>19988948What's your point? ROH is a development now unfortunatel. It doesn't really need a TV deal and should be used to develop young talent and shake off ring rust. ROH getting a TV deal would be bad for the business because it would almost definitely go against TNA and TNA can barely afford ham and eggs.
>>19988962>ROH is a development nowaccording to who?
>>19988957As far as the CW deal went, who knows. Maybe they wanted it to be "AEW Smackdown" where he'd have to split the roster. That's my pet theory anyway.
>>19988915Not anymore, Tony's killed anyone's interest in ROH. I was going to ROH shows 20 years ago when Gabe was still booking, and Punk, Bryan, Joe, Nigel, etc were all headlining. That seems like a completely different promotion compared to Tony's ROH. He's completely killed ROH's legacy and turned it into the spillover toybox. What he did to ROH is even worse than what WWE did to ECW's reputation when they made the ECW brand. People still have nostalgia for classic ECW. You can't say the same about ROH.
>>19988981Plenty of people have nostalgia for old ROH you spaz.
>>19988865The problem with this is Jacksonville isn't a tourist destination. At least when TNA was shooting in Orlando, you had a different batch of tourists every taping. If he's regularly shooting in Jacksonville, it's just going to be the same 200 AEW stans every time.
Not enough dude wipes ads for you dronies?
>>19988993>it's just going to be the same 200 AEW stans every time.So basically NXT?
>>19988981Nu ROH still has had some good shit though. There is no great way to do it without hurting AEW, and if Tony didn't buy it it would be dead or in a far worse state than it is now.
>>19989009Dave is so fucking shameless lmao
Bandido is the best guy thy have and you can see him on aew already
>>19988981Tony only bought ROH to try to curry favor with CM Punk. Hell, Punk was probably the one that told him to buy it in the first place just so WWE didn't get the tape library. Punk's probably regretting that now; it would have been cool if this CM Punk Showcase in the new 2K game could have used some ROH footage and showcased some of his early matches. Meanwhile, Tony's just been sitting on the ROH tape library for 4 years and has done jack shit with it.
>>19989023There'd be a solid chance Paul would have revived it and given it to Gabe instead of EVOLVE and eventually he'd take over
>>19989023>Tony's just been sitting on the ROH tape library for 4 years and has done jack shit with itWhat would you like him to do with it exactly?
>>19989038He meaning Phil. Basically he would have his Collision back in a way.
KWAB
>>19989394Poor Athena. The forever champion of nothing. Way to waste 5 years of her career and life
There's a video on twitter of Okada coming out and the kids in the front row marking out. I'm genuinely shocked kids know who Okada is at that age. The "bitch" gimmick must be hella over with the youngsters
>>19989394>Reportedly, in lieu of ROH in the same time slot, WBD will run replays of flagship AEW show Dynamite on TruTV each Friday at 10pm ET instead.Did this even happen? I have no memory of AEW airing on TruTV.
>>19988081>AEWtists now comparing ROH to NXT's developmental brand
>>19988501>>19988056Counting from the left, the guy in the red tanktop is 10th from the left, and looking at the other side, there are 4 people after him. There are 3 rows on that side, one row on the other two sides14x5=70But there seem to be about ten random chairs added besides that so I would bump it up to 80 seats in the building.I can see 18 empty seats and the other side only has 3 people out of 14 possible seats so:80 capacity51 attendance
>>19989455I know it was a thing because I know watched an episode in the past but I don't think it's a thing anymore. I just checked the TruTV schedules and each of the other Turner stations and none of them have AEW programming in that slot.
>>19989009Where's the good shit? Because it certainly isn't in that screenshot.
>>19988056Why did ROH started larping as AEW? Embarrassing
>>19988056How much were tickets?
>>19988056Those letters used to mean something man
>>19990370Free is too expensive for that mess
>>19990039All it needs is some piñatas and nacho platters, looks just like Casa De Tone
>>19988269>Isn't this a taped show that is aired... somewhere?Nope, it isn't aired anywhere. It streams on HonorClub which probably has under 1000 active subscribers. ROH is Tony's dumping ground/prison for all the toys he gives absolutely zero shits about but is too scared to release because people might call him mean names or they might sign with WWE.
I actually like the concept
>>19990479ROH is a frozen turd. Shove it where the sun don't shine.
Why Tony doesn't try to broad out ROH outside of HonorClub to different platform like Roku?
>>19988081just barely
>>19990797Because Roku doesn't want that shit. Can you imagine a streaming service looking at ROH being filmed in a barn with 30 people in the audience and thinking "yeah we want this"?
>>19988962>unfortunatel
>ROH show has small attendanceSo ROH like always.Why is this news?This board is acting like Okada didn’t work high school gyms as Hebbyq champion.
This looks really pathetic and I've seen some really bad ROH attendance during the cornette era
>>19990421It's not free if you have to feed yourself.
>>19990880>So ROH like always.ROH used to have much bigger audiences than this. Tony set a new low score.
>>19990936Not really,ROH is typically pretty small with the exception of major shows (which still wind up being small)The only bad thing about it is lighting.It’s far too bright for an ROH show and highlights the crowd more.
>>19990471I'd count that enough that you'd want it to not look like total ass but... yeesh. Sounds more and more like ROH needs delirious back kekConsidering he's killing TNA with dreamer it would probably be for the best.
>>19988259nostalgia rots your brain
>>19990960Unless you're talking about 2002 or 2003 ROH, yes really.
>>19990936A lot of their TV has been around this size.They had around 100 according to someone there and could probably fit around 100-150. There isn't much you can hope for from a studio in Jax though and TK is a busy guy so it's either this or tape before AEW TV or find someone else to run it.
>>19991501>and TK is a busy guykek
>>19988056About as big as AAA venues everytime I see some clips of it lol
>>19991685ToneDawg too busy snorting coke off liv’s tits
>>19988107In the world where RoH isn't bought by Tony? Merely a tape library to not be put on Netflix a la Smoky Mountain
>>19989009i knew dave had completely jumped the shark years ago but jesus christ.
>>19988637>They could easily fit another 100 people in there.Christ, man. How much MORE do you want it to stink?
>>19992234You didn't see any of those matches
>>19992583Exactly
>>19992591Yet you know how good they are. Get a life
>>19992583>Diamante vs Leyla Hirsch 4.75 StarsYeah, I don't need to watch that to know Dave is a fucking retarded old faggot.
>>19992612imagine spending your life white knighting for a soulless corporation's children's show like this
>>19992604I know they aren't good or I would have seen them
>>19990924>It's not free if you have to feed yourselfThat's some deep ass shit, anon.
>>19992891if /pw/ knows anythingthey know pussy#poonmastas
Reminder that Tony fumbled TV deal for ROH
>>19993801Back then, he was still trying to get a ROIInstead, ROH has lost AEW more money than Tony's daddy can count
>>19990960ROH ran Madison Square Garden
>>19991501This photo is from like 2003. ROH didn't even have TV then.
The problem with taped shows is you can just post the spoilers online and no one will watch if they dont like or care about the results or matches. Kinda like when wcw used to read the wwf results on air.
Hahahaha
>>19988056lmao
>>19988210>once the venue reaches capacity
Tony has now killed ROH and NJPW. CMLL is next.
Tonys chickens are coming home to roost
>>19998240Afraid so
>>19996377That wouldn't be a problem if they had must see matches, but for some reason Tony just has made ROH into 8 hour squash match tapings. I don't know why, he's not on TV, he could book whatever he wants there
>>19988107grim
>>19994952Before Tony Khan got his hands on it
>>19988210yikes
>>19997757But think of how horrible it would've been if WWE collabed with them instead!!!
>>19988056oof
Where are da fans?
>>19988210>starts at 3 pmSo a bunch of unemployed people at the show
>>20000395I'm sure they taped on a weekend. Tony can't be that fucking retarded. Right?
>>20001504The studio is probably booked during the weekends for actual draws.
>>20001528You're right. Kinda goes with what anon said here >>20001531
>>19994723>ROH has lost AEW more money than Tony's daddy can countTrue dat. Double true!
>>19988056Maybe Tony should have bought CHIKARA instead
>e tards care about roh now
>>20002578>NOOO STOP NOTICING!!! ROH IS FINE!
>>20002599when was the last time you posted about roh before a week ago?
>>19988056NWA draws more
>>20002578God forbid someone posts on a thread on /pw/
>>20002762quite a bit more actually
>>20000389>Where are da fans?ROH fans? did they ever exist
>>19988432He's a coke head and coke head logic says those 30 cut wrestlers would be megastars in WWE and he can't have that
>>19988056>>19988185>>19988501>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4MTnW5Zwxk>smaller crowd than NWA Bluegrass in Kentuckymy fucking sides
There were more people at that FIP match WWE uploaded of Danielson and Punk wrestling in an empty warehouse
This is what dynamite normally looks like what's the problem?
>>19988056Dire>>19988185Kino
>>20004233The problem is that Tony just won "Booker of The Year" and the dude can't even fill a tiny conference room. This is even more embarrassing than Casa De Tony.
>>20002762trust the plan
>>20005305>NWA has surpassed ROH I was here, I witnessed it
>>20005434at this point, the NWA literally has territories that draw more than ROH. Tony is just raping the corpse of ROH at this point. Im glad I dont have any nostalgia for that company because I would be pretty pissed off.
>>20005305Holy based
>>20007079glad you liked it
>>19988056Did we ever confirm what day of the week this ROH shit was recorded?
I saw Micro Wrestling with all the midgets in Pigeon Forge, TN at their Microtorium. On a random Tuesday night during the summer, they had more in attendance than this.
>>20007946Tickets weren't free either.
>>20007946Micro Wrestling is cool and hot. Something you can't say about ROH.PsykoSid is more famous than any ROH talent and works more matches and sees more towns in a year.
>>20008392Lol true
this is why indie talent should not sign with tony. most of them actually end up wrestling in front of smaller crowds because most of them get stuck in ROH.
>>20009139You always milk the money mark. Good for them.
>>20009530Is milking Tony for his daddy's allowance worth having your career go absolutely fucking nowhere for years?
>>20009563 For your career? No. But Phil Marks said it best: You shouldn't hate on the boys for taking the money marks deal. Maybe they needed for their family or some shit.
>>20009563Yes. Okada is getting laid $10 million a year to job to NXT.
>>20010228>LaidHe gets to fuck Tony and take his money?
>>20009563yes since wwe will hire you after anyway
>>20009139Tony killed independent wrestling forever and his leftist cult cheered him on as he did. Now it's time for a receipt courtesy of the President and Paramount>"Tony... you're fired."
I bet Shahid Khan does cocaine too and that's why he won't send his son to rehab. Doesn't want to look like a hypocrite. Fucking cokeheads.
>>20011584Shad loves his son, even though he is a massive failure.
>>20012276I honestly don't think that's true. If you love someone, you don't let them become Tony Khan. Period.Especially of you care about your family lineage. Tony is a cocksmoking faggot who will find a beard when he's 60 and adopt a black kid for Grandma to raise.
>>20013104Shad raised a failure
>>19988056>kek what a hot fedMany have never said this
Did the coof kill ROH or is that just cope and it was already dying?
>>19988056Dire
>>20013567ROH's retard owner decided to pay wrestlers their full salaries, while not having them perform anywhere at all, because he'd rather go out of business than take the PR hit. I don't know that anyone would have blamed ROH for not paying, it's not like they're WWE or AEW or even TNA with it's billionaire owners, but he decided to go full retard with no backup plan (PPP loans, etc).
Someone post the gif of Okada coming out and kike 20 people in the crowd.
Tony can't keep getting away with ig
Reminder tickets were free of charge.
After watching RoH, I like the concept, but the Execution wasn't good. That building isn't really good for it. ROH should honestly just tour alongside AEW but in actual gyms and bingo halls
>>20016980Sounds like cope
>>19988056Looks ice cold to me.
>>20020933Kek
>>19988056People said Tony found a tv deal for ROH KWAB
Tony kills everything he touches
They need to add seats for people who are crippled.
I was told that Tony buying ROH was a good thing?
>>20009993Mina Shirakawa probably needs the money, her dad is apparently some big shot businessman and he basically disowned her when she was 21-22
>>20025572Lol is this real?
>>19988056Someone count the fans. 20?
Terrible
>>20027070NTA but I've heard this before, I'd thought the disowning happened because she abandoned her modeling career for wrestling
>>20025572What did she do all those years ago to get cut off?
I miss the ROH Covid era hosted by this qtpie. They didn't even have an audience back then, but at least they dimmed the lights to hide the fact. It was peak comfykino and seeing its shambling corpse under Tony Khan is just sad.
>>19988056Jesus, Tony's ROH is better off just not existing. Better yet, just bring back AEW Dark
>>19989055Is he putting old shows & PPVs on HonorClub? If not then that would be a start
>>20028293Another cancelled propey
>>19988056BAHAHAHAHAHAH WOW THIS IS BAD
>>19989055instead of having 30 ex ROH guys from when people actually watched it sit in catering during Collision, get some of those faggots to film interviews going over noteable matches they had in ROH. Upload those once or twice a week accompanied by the match on youtube. Or have them do new commentary for said matches, reflecting (either in kayfabe or not) about that time or that feud or match.
Free tickets and still empty
>>20029862Sounds like AEW
>>19988056Where is the tv deal you said they were gonna get?
>>20028251She acted like a whore and did softcore porn
>>20031074So did Beulah McGuilicutty. I saw straight up her vag. Mickie? Fahgettaboutit.
>>20031074>did softcore pornThose gravure DVDs aren't even softcore porn, just cocktease bullshit.Though I wonder now if the FC2 rumor was true or if that's just a chick who looks like her
>>19988056MLW went over clean
>>19988056Just money mark things
>>20031171>FC2What's that, some wrestling fed?
El Bumpo
>>20031171>FC2 rumorWhat's this?
>>20032997So you don't know?
>>20031171I like the MMND releases, the 'AV Impossible' where the bit is a girl agreeing to gravure then progressively gets coerced into naughtier bits like full frontal reveal, masturbating and simulating getting fucked by the director complete with fake cum shots.
>>20033365No I don't, care to inform me what this rumor is?
>>20033584Now that's the shit
>>20033365Know what?
>>19988060KWAB
>>20033365>>20031171Is there a code I need to google?
>>19988260>>19988300Tony used to do this during Dynamite/Collision shows and would literally beg the audience to stay for ROH. I guess now that they're separate tapings they can shoot lock them inside kek.>>19988210Also why does this read like Baydala works for Tony...does he actually work for Tony?
>>20031074And hardcore, allegedly
>>20036706You can't just say that and not provide proof
>outdrawn by the fucking ThunderdomeMy sides are in orbit
>>19988056RIP ROH's dignity 2002-2021
>>20034343FC2 is a porno company in Japan, there's a girl in one of their videos that looks a lot like Mina but it isn't her.>>20027070100%, her old man owns an IT company and she's said they were strict. Whether or not they actually disowned her is up for debate since that was never confirmed
>>20038195Everything Tony touches turns to shit
