I had to do a double take at that Meltzer tweet.
They weren’t kidding about re-inventing their image.

Yikes.
My first thought is that they may not be coming back at all.

I feel for a lot of the talent, so much potential talent out there now.

This is really, really, really not a good sign for ROH.

Yea I did a holy shit when I read the tweet...then did a double and triple take.
I wonder if they got sold and if so to who.
That is ALOT of talent that just hit the free market and really f***ing good talent to.

That's a lot of talent that's going to be out of work for at least a few months, assuming they actually do come back. Unfortunately, AEW, NWA, and Impact can only bring on so many people and WWE has taken a "no more indie wrestlers" stance on new hires.

So sad for the talent. The pure tournament was one of the highlights of the pandemic. Seemed like ROH was really finding its footing and looking to a good 2022. If this is the end of ROH then it is truly a dark day in wrestling.

I was wondering why they made this announcement with the universal distress sign of "white text black background" and oh wow that definitely answers that question

That is ALOT of talent that just hit the free market and really f***ing good talent to. I would not be surprised at all if this is less them being sold and more Sinclair getting caught holding the RSN bag right as that’s about to completely collapse. Especially with the two leagues that rely on RSNs the most, the NBA and MLB, loudly turning against it earlier this month.

Unfortunately, AEW, NWA, and Impact can only bring on so many people and WWE has taken a "no more indie wrestlers" stance on new hires. The no more indie stuff isn't true. It's been beaten to death discussing it already, but if there is a talent that has a lot of buzz around them, WWE is still going to make a play for them. But they aren't just going to make the majority of their signings based off of their careers on the indies these days. Hell, several of the people from the Las Vegas tryouts who got signed were from the indies.

"Based on who I've spoken with, ROH releases are effective at the end of the year. If a contract goes beyond that, they're paid until March 31." - SRS on Twitter.
So staying the course till Final Battle.
As I said earlier the tv product is some of best in wrestling, so I hope they focus on that when they start doing live shows/tapings again.

You had the NJPW partnership, Bullet Club and The Elite, I mean hell Madison Square Garden was booked before the announcement of AEW.. but once AEW took off, it looked like game over for ROH sadly. I hope it's not it, but you could have easily made the case it was the number 2 American promotion.

Yeah, considering all this information, I’m retracting my jokey comment to Ian. Apologies if he sees this before then.
