Anthem buys AXS TV: Wrestling Observer Radio

He said it's a possibly for anthem to influence njpw to partner impact axs and other people online have suggested I think it was rovert or trevor dome that anthem could force njpw to keep their t.v. presence and given that roh wants nothing to do with impact njpw would be forced to drop roh in favor of keeping their t.v. deal if njpw didn't have anywhere else to go

I have given up on creative being changed because until delirious gives up the position himself he not losing that role

I have too. Delirious has been booker longer than, Gabe and Pearce combined. He isn't going anywhere for some unknown reason. I hear he is close to Koff. Ok, but ROH needs a fresh coat of paint. The decision makers don't see it and sure aren't listening to the fans any more. Don't expect a change any time soon.

I think Dave was speculating rather than reporting. I doubt much changes because of this. AXS will want to keep New Japan happy especially if they put Impact on the same night.

At this stage I think there would be more interest in ROH the moment a Delirious being removed from booking was announced. It almost wouldn't matter who would be put in charge. Now say they were able to get Jimmy Jacobs in role and I think even more positive buzz would be built.

[Chrisvegas27]

Especially because njpw one of the top rated shows on there I would be curious to see if njpw out draws impact on there

. , ; : ? !

Just putting those out here for no particular reason.

NJPW already airs on Anthem's Fight Network so I figure if they really could pressure NJPW into forming partnership then it would have already happened.

More on this specific topic being possible on the 9/17 episode of An Honorable Mention when Jimmy Jacobs joins us

[TYFDK]

He is still with TNA?

Yes. Still behind the scenes and he’s been doing interviews on screen lately.

Wow

[monster mafia]

Why haven't ROH management petitioned Sinclair to get NJPW on their channels to make a wrestling block for instance? Good idea i think.

[Chrisvegas27]

It's already starting i think of njpw ends up on one of sinclair networks it would make Roh and njpw relationship stronger

I'm sure New Japan would love to have their show air in the middle of the night on nine billion local channels instead of 9pm on a relatively big national channel.

I'm sure New Japan would love to have their show air in the middle of the night on nine billion local channels instead of 9pm on a relatively big national channel.

The numbers NJPW touts for their show are usually in the 200-300K per week range, which is considerably less than the ROH viewership the last time anybody bothered to check their Nielsen syndicated ratings (which was, admittedly, in May 2015 but it's hard to imagine ROH's viewership has declined much if at all since then). ROH was in an average of over 350K households per week back then, which translated to maybe 450-500K individual viewers not including online/DVR viewers.

You have to figure between the newer Sinclair local channels, Stadium, Charge, Honor Club, and FITE TV they're doing considerably more than that right now.

AXS would be nice to have in addition to ROH's current syndicated footprint but not instead of it. It's a tiny network still. We have to take AXS's press releases at their word for viewership because they're too small for Nielsen to even track.

good news by the way.
