So while he may have been considering it for months, it sounded like the deal/discussion died at some point. Maybe Tony was waiting out SBG… but from what he’s said, it didn’t seem like a long strategic purchase.
I believe this new regime, will do better at some point. More passion, more money, more resources/roster. No reason for it to not improve, other than AEW and ROH competing against each other.
I wouldn’t call it a massive upgrade to Honorclub. They updated the interface, but it’s less content than what was on it before I believe. I don’t think the menus changed. The interface is a step in the right direction, but I wouldn’t call it a massive upgrade.
Agree, it all comes down to making money to support the promotion. As of now, they are only making money off their HonorClub Subscription and PPV buys, and merch.
Tony is great, but has a flaws… and shown he sticks to doing things his way. Sometimes good, sometimes not.
We’ll see how the TV is. Maybe it’s exceeds expectations.
Tony was buying ROH, why would Sinclair make him an offer? He gave them a generous number, they took it, WWE had offered something larger, once an agreement was made. Not the first time WWE tried to buy ROH as they did right before All In. You gotta come off this impulse buy bull shit rhetoric. It’s just an uninformed statement.
There’s also more content on Honor Club now than ever but let’s not let facts get in the way.
I don’t agree with a lot of what Tony has done as far as his wrestling booking goes but his business successes speak for themselves. It’s only weird if it doesn’t work.
