Top Comments of this video!! :3
The early PPV's under the Khan era were great but forcing ROH content and titles onto Dynamite ruined a lot of momentum of AEW. Combined with the build for the first Forbidden Door, it was all kind of a mess. If ROH was just PPV's then would definitely purchase them but I really hope the ROH mini era on Dynamite doesn't come back any time soon

TK surely didn't help things get better when he treated the then Men and Women's Main Champs like trash. It's no secret AEW is one-sided when booking crossover matches with IMPACT-signed talent but Deonna Purrazzo held onto the Women's ROH Title after Rox C left for WWE and became yet another IMPACT Talent made to look unimportant by barely even promoting the match. Johnathan Gresham, not-signed, was asked to drop the title to Claudio Castignolli in less than 10 minutes before possibly being booked with no immediate plans which was an insult to someone keeping the title alive during ROH's death. AEW seems eager to wanting their talent to win other companies' titles but won't show the same courtesy in return.

Tbh ROH never recovered from losing Punk, Joe, Danielson, and McGuiness. Tyler Black was never a draw. Steen and Generico weren't draws. The "eLitE" were never a draw. Adam Cole, Jay Lethal, and Dalton Castle all generated some interest, but neither Cole nor Castle were Champs long enough or at the right times to capitalize on the intrigue they generated from outsiders. Sinclair didn't even invest in proper cameras and lighting until it was way too late. Tony bought a tape library and a streaming platform tech stack that will likely be copy/pasted into a site for AEW's back catalog.

Tony Khan is ruining ROH, to many squash matches, no stories, random matches, only flavor of the month matches, it's all over the place, no wonder Billy Gunn is leaving, quoted as saying the AEW/ROH is the wild wild west of wrestling, with no structure or order, everyone doing whatever they want,that's why i only watch NJPW or impact

Nah I get what you are saying but NXT did way more damage to ROH before AEW was even a thought. They raided ROH as well. Remember Kyle beat Cole at Final Battle just for him to drop it back to Cole at WK because he signed with WWE. Fish and Cole left not long after. HHH had been trying to sign the Briscoes for the longest time, but it never happened. Priest is another prospect ROH was high on that WWE took. Black and Gold NXT was basically a ROH/PWG on steroids but with a WWE budget (They also poached off the UK Indy scene). All that happened before AEW existed . Putting ROH's decline all on AEW is disingenuous imo.
Also downfall? You speak like TK has had ROH for like a decade or something. As numerous others have said in the comments the weekly TV is actually pretty good. The PPV's have been good too. I could go without seeing ROH featured on AEW though.

I wouldn't say it's in the grave yet; but not a good sign when Collision got a SAT show; and ROH was stuck with a streaming deal for their TV. With their biggest stars/champs appearing more on AEW. We are 9 days away from a ROH PPV and they've announced 1 match with little/no build. I think it's probably because of some changes backstage, plans changed; and now they are mostly using the enhancement talent on ROH. It still has a couple really good matches each week; but it's always going to be little brother to AEW.

What I like about TK's ROH: - Great matches - Fantastic PPVs What I hate about TK's ROH: - Awful booking - ROH Champions regularly appear on Dynamite - Matches with no build - Too many matches - ROH airs on Honor Club (few people watch ROH on Honor Club and stick to watching highlights on ROH's YT channel instead)
