ROH has nothing to do with the President. SBGI being anti - progressive. has nothing to do with wrestling. These things are not even remotely connected . Vince and Linda are big Trump supporters , has not hurt the WWE.

People have said axs which used to be hdnet might own the roh footage when it aired on hdnet if that is true anthem/impact now owns Roh footage that aired when roh was on hdnet

I assume ROH owns the footage as it's on Honorclub. Wouldn't expect any issues with Impact/ROH.

Ironically i just upped my cable package today to include AXS, and before the announcement i was kind of pissed i didn't have Pursuit (after figuring out what channel they were on now). Glad to hear they should be on AXS soon.

In terms of Impact lapping ROH i wouldn't go there just yet. ROH has about 10 guys i'd rather have on my roster before i take 1 from Impact. In terms of a product, i also prefer ROH and even MLW better.
Direct TV doesn't have BeIn Sports anymore which is a shame because I have every channel under the sun and moon it seems. Impact is not something I watch regularly although I do talk to people who work there. Everyone is pretty excited. Nice to see a united roster and staff make a move to get ahead.

New Japan is now in a very interesting spot as to whom they utilize as their American partner.

LOL. SBG is a major negative into why companies like AEW exist. Anti-gay, racist, conservatives associated with the racist, criminal president who should be in jail is not a good look for a wrestling company not on top of their industry with no chance of being knocked off. ROH cannot afford any mistakes in culture.

Sinclair 1000% owns the footage.

Oh please. Rupert Murdoch is a big time conservative. He owns the Fox Network. Fox has been airing "The Simpsons" for three decades. "The Simpsons" has had guest appearances by dozens of liberal celebrities who hate Murdoch. I don't know if Janeane Garofalo or Keith Olbermann or Susan Sarandon got paid for their cameos, but they didn't get Murdoch's money, they at least got on his airwaves.

Again, established brand with built in never going away audience vs. what's left of ROH's fans. Attaching yourself to a morally bankrupt philosophy driven by people who belong in prison is a bad idea. It's why people have left and will leave.

You are really reaching with your posts.

Simpsons were always on Fox and somehow it didn't stop them from becoming a household brand. Somehow being owned by Sinclair didn't stop RoH from growing every year either till AEW happened. And how exactly is RoH attaching themselves to Sinclair? Sinclair owns RoH, it is not like they can pick up stuff and leave. Like, if Sinclair hadn't bought RoH then we probably wouldn't even have RoH now at all.

I don't think this changes anything in terms of NJPW's US partner. NJPW's TV show has already been airing on Fight Network in Canada (as does ROH), so it's not like NJPW airing on a platform owned by Anthem is anything new.

Further, Impact presently works with both AAA and Pro Wrestling NOAH.

Impact would drop NOAH so fast you’d get whiplash from your head spinning if it meant a deal with NJPW (let MLW have NOAH). AAA would likely be the issue

Well think njpw would take it's chances and leave axs and either buy their own network or find a better station because njpw has a better track record

NJPW cannot buy a cable TV network.

They will almost definitely stay on AXS. Anthem already broadcasts NJPW TV and ROH TV in Canada.

Major difference in between Murdoch owning the network and Sinclair openly campaigning for a racist criminal.
