So Impact automatically moves into being the 3rd biggest promotion with then MLW and I guess GCW pulling up from there if ROH is indeed done. Crazy. I thought Impact already was 3rd. WWE, AEW, and Impact all have 2-hour weekly shows on Cable. That does make Impact number 3.

I guess the new question is who that highest bidder will be.

TK is without a doubt wanting that just simply to get ALL IN and with this only covering 2012 to present day I do wonder if Silkin is gonna sell the rest from the debut up to 2012 since people are presuming he owns all of that footage.
But a sad further cement that ROH as people have known it is well and truly dead.

Sinclair owns the entire ROH library going to back to 2002. The main event from the first show in Feb. 2002 was posted on the ROH YouTube channel in Apr. 2020.

I'm not going to get into this too deeply again, but if we're talking reach, accessibility and viewership, ROH was #2 as of the summer of 2015 and only #3 because of AEW. The syndication numbers for ROH are significant, and their reach on broadcast networks is much more than AXS or Vice. Impact does a great show that I've especially enjoyed over the past year, but there's no real metric beyond one's personal preference where they have been bigger than ROH since 2015.

Oh I know I was just finding humor in it like all companies that have interest got interns just refreshing social media and dirt sheetss furiously like it is a lottery. But seriously though in any situation like this yea you don't and cannot be patient.

Well, time to cancel those Honor Club memberships. I'm friggin' bummed, as I was hoping ROH was going to downsize, but remain in operation. Their site would be their channel, Honor Club could afford them to keep doing live shows. They would go solely virtual, and not fuss with television again.

Fightful usually doesn't swing and miss like that. If it is available I hope someone like Khan gets it or someone who may have ideas to keep the company alive that isn't Sinclair.

Yeah, WWE owning the ROH tape library would be a nightmare scenario to me.

During TNA's troubles I was hoping WWE would get their library since really it was the only decent option for getting it out there at the time, but by now I don't want them anywhere near ROH's. Much rather see AEW get it and use it as a further bargaining chip to get on HBO Max.

As far as the footage:
Golden Ending - AEW gets it and incorporates it into an eventual streaming service Unfortunate Ending - WWE acquires the footage and presents it in edited form inconsistently Russo Swerve Ending - Impact inexplicably ends up with it and airs the TNA/ROH Variety Show every week on Impact Plus
