Out of sheer excitement for TNT to get pro wrestling again, I plan to watch all things Elite-essential (sans Being the Elite) prior to the weekly TV debut this fall.

Prior to All In, what would be considered the absolute essentials to watch? I'll take any moments and matches from ROH, NJPW, RPW, etc.

Off the top of my head, I know for sure that Omega vs. Jericho and Young Bucks vs. Golden Elite are no-brainers.

An organized chronological list would be appreciated, as ideally I would actually review it all and have a web site in mind to use as a platform.

I'd add in the Omega/Naito match from the G1 Climax in 2016, because that match, while less historic than the win against Goto, is sooooo good.

Kenny King is supposed to be at the Double or Nothing after party? Wonder if this means anything at all?

[Chrisvegas27]

He just announced he signed a new two year deal like 2 months ago

[TYFDK]

Kenny King is supposed to be at the Double or Nothing after party? Wonder if this means anything at all?

Eh. He lives in Vegas and he’s not on the actual show. Is the after party more affiliated with AEW or Starrcast?

Probably more Starrcast but it does have the Double or Nothing name attached to it.

Paul Turner and Head of Ring Crew and Logistics Bird are now All Elite.

[Chrisvegas27]

I hope it's worth it that everyone jumping ship from every company

[dhads7161]

Paul Turner and Head of Ring Crew and Logistics Bird are now All Elite.

Wow, Turner!? Did not expect that one.

[Chrisvegas27]

I know it looked like roh has hired a few new referees from last week tour to the tapings last night

[BurningHammer]

All ROH Wrestling is certainly interesting....

I'm sure the pay is certainly a huge bonus for them and with their efforts i've got no problem with them leaving, as long as people come in that are just as good or better than I've got no issue.

[AlexROH]

Didn't see that comming, specially the Turner move. AEW is really hiring great refs this month.

I'm not sure, but Turner was, indeed, the most veteran referee in ROH right? I'm pretty sure Todd came like 1-2 years later or so.

Awesome this gives other young referees a chance.

I believe Paul Turner was there since day one, or very soon after.
