Josh is the embodiment of an L shaped in the forehead.

This could have been a lot worse:

PWInsider.com is told that Rayne had pitched a number of ideas for herself, including a Beautiful People reunion for the promotion, bringing in Angelina Love (who worked in ROH during the early stages of her career) and Velvet Sky. When the creative pitches ended up shot down, Rayne requested a release.

ROH then offered an alternative idea, where the People would return but Rayne would be attacked and feud with the group, which would instead add at least one new member in Mandy Leon and perhaps others. Rayne turned down the creative and again asked for a release. The release was amicably granted.

And now she's signed a multi-year back with Impact.

Oh lord. Thank god they released her then. The Beautiful People in 2019 is a big time no thanks.

Now I have this image of Josh sincerely reenacting the Paul Allen murder scene from American Psycho, but instead of Phil Collins/Huey Lewis And The News, he's talking extensively on the genius of Smash Mouth.

Yeah, like...they've all regressed hard in terms of in-ring ability. Velvet's been that way for years now after being "okay with potential" for a while prior to that, Angelina was competent in an era where women wrestlers generally weren't but she's never been great, and Madison herself I feel falls into a similar category as Velvet as "okay with potential" at one point (her time in SHIMMER and the early years in TNA) but has regressed. All three have always benefited from being in a team or a group than necessarily being singles stars. 

Though even ignoring their potential match quality, as you said, the Beautiful People gimmick in 2019 is a hard pass.

The Beautiful People is potentially one of the most overrated stables in modern wrestling history, so I can't say I mind they didn't do it.

I mean, credit to Madison for trying to get ROH to do ANY angle with the neglected as hell Women of Honor division, but it would have been a weak one.

Beautiful People in Ring of Honor would have been an abomination

Roh 1000% made the smart move

Which based on a lot of what people that worked with her in SHIMMER and TNA have said about her...

...if the horse shoe fits?

Yeah, I'll give her credit for trying to get something going there. It might not be the sideshow it used to be treated as (not only restricted to preshows and internet-only viewing but pretty much used solely as a vehicle for nepotism pushes), but it's still pretty damn neglected.

The Horrific People were among the worst wrestlers the past decade.

And yet Ditzy insisted on keeping them because she "Didn't do right by them." Velvet who has to ask people in their first matches what to do next, left in 12 when her contract expired only for Ditzy to immediately demand they hire her back the very next week

And this idea was so good they had to do it anyway.
