Court Bauer joins ROH

Post by DirtyDave »

Court Bauer started tonight with Ring of Honor in a front office position. He won't be booking the promotion, but working on branding, packaging talent, TV, marketing, event elements, media, digital/social endeavors and media. He was involved in Maria Kanellis' appearance on VH-1 yesterday which was one of the biggest national mentions of ROH in years.

I enjoyed his shows that i heard with Konnan. His show on the LAW with John Pollock was excellent too.

Yeah, if 90% of the people on this board were given a million dollars they would bitch that it wasn't a million and one.

This is promising news indeed.

Now let's get Rob Naylor a job with ROH. Maybe he can be the booker.

Very intriguing, should be very positive news!

Very good news to hear. It's awesome that he was involved in that Maria/VH1 Appearance b/c that's pretty big publicity for ROH. Did anyone happen to see it? How much did they talk about Final Battle?

Really intriguing news. Perhaps that's why Court has been quite complimentary about ROH in some of his recent podcasts.

I recorded it, but I think my DVR cut her appearance out.

Apparently they referred to her as a WWE Diva, because heaven forbid TV hosts actually try to do research before they have a guest on their show.

Probably not, he's quite busy eating figs and bananas.

Honestly, why isn't he on the booking team?

Say what you want about MLW and H2Wrestling, but every guy on the roster had some sort of character that made them stand out from each other. ROH could use that sort of creativity desperately.

Not to mention that he was responsible for one of the better SmackDown periods. The guy is used to having "the boss" look over your shoulder and having to reach compromises. As people continue to argue over what's Delirious VS What's SBG, Court would be a good bridge to have.

You're right about him booking Smackdown, but do you know when exactly that period was?

Well, he was one of the main people behind the successful Finlay push and the formation of Booker T's King Court, he also helped with Velocity and was the one who got that incredible Regal/Benoit on TV, he helped with the cruiserweights and was more or less the SmackDown midcard authority.

Good booker, good ideas, good execution. Like I said, he should at least have some say with Delirious.

I don't know much about Bauer other than he was the guy behind MLW, and the little bit of MLW I have seen has been quite poorly booked, so I'm not looking forward to this at all.

If it's half as bad as MLW than it will be ten times better than when Corny had the book but it won't be good

If he's working on media and marketing, then what I'd would like Court Bauer to do is to turn the Ringside Membership into something that is actually worth paying for.

With UFC and WWE both launching online "channels" early in 2014 with tons of content, ROH's online membership is a really terrible value in comparison.
