RIP Brodie Lee

Obviously his time in ROH was pretty limited (you'd be forgiven for forgetting his short run as Jimmy Jacobs' Necro replacement in AotF) , but I've enjoyed him pretty much where ever he was working, and by most accounts he was a great guy behind the scenes. Leaves a wife and two kids behind, only 41. Just sucks.

Here’s the card for a Lucha libre vs. pure wrestling show from Lucha Memes. Jonathan Gresham is wrestling Aramis, and other wrestlers who fought in ROH recently including Wheeler Yuta, Fred Yehi, Dante Caballero and Tony Deppen are on the show as well. Airing on IWTV, not sure if it’s live or not though.

January 22nd is the date for the show. I hope it's steamed live. I'm pretty excited for it.

Anthem bought Impact for the same purpose Sinclair bought ROH: cheap programming. It seems unlikely that Anthem would sell considering they bought a whole cable network recently.

If it were to happen though, screw the idea of separate brands. Unify all the belts and fold Impact into ROH.

Why would they do that? Impact isn’t AEW or another “hot” brand.

I don't think it will happen but Impact does have a few advantages:
-much better international TV deals, especially India and the UK
-video library
-shared history of guys like Joe, Styles, Daniels, etc
-a ready made women's roster
-a few good male talents like Eddie Edwards
-Scott D'Amore as a trainer (look up the names he has trained)
-Don Callis as a heel manager/commentator

ROH still needs to learn how to run itself before it should even start thinking buying another one.

It will be interesting though to see what happens with Impact considering that quite a number of talents contracts are coming to an end that all have had a significant amount of professional investment.

Tre Miguel would be someone I would hope ROH has at least spoken with.

Really looking forward to this, hopefully puts a lot of new eyes on Aramis and Arez

Maybe i'm out of the loop... but is there ANY talk of Impact selling? I haven't heard any; and IF there was, i would think AEW would be the more likely purchaser... and they would be a better company to purchase, imo. This could help jump start their streaming service. (I guess technically Kahn has his fake "paid info-mercials" on impact; but dont think Impact is selling)

That being said, I wouldn't be completely against SBG/ROH buying Impact; mostly for the library and HonorClub; but ROH needs to continue to build it's own infrastructure; and actually have a live TV product; quality streaming service. I don't use Impact Plus; but judging by the ROH website and the Impact website; Impact is would be much more modern. I'd like to see ROH invest more in these areas; before adding another company.

Agree with Famicommender on the advantages. Certainly some advantages to it; PLUS your buying out some of your competition; which should help ticket sales/viewership for ROH.

Yeah that's a hard no. Dude has some skeletons in his closet that no company should touch.
