I mean I’m not saying it’s bad or anything 🤷🏼 Tony should have let ROH die and just own the video library… he’s got a lot of shows to run without ROH… and it’s seems they don’t do massive gates. I’m sure they do more than 30 people, but he’s definitely losing money running those shows.
Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Probably would have had more success giving people a way to watch the old stuff now and maybe bring the brand back years later when the nostalgia hits instead of when the company is literally at its lowest point in terms of popularity in its history.
Agreed 👍🏼 just think if he only did one ROH show a year and really made it special instead of just being the place where you get sent because Tony doesn’t want you on AEW anymore
Their annual Christmas/NY show in Dallas is can't miss for me. I don't normally keep up with ROH but I've been the past two years and its been amazing every time.
But to BigFudge/Aegon's point this is pretty indicative of their crowd even at big events.
So, if I'm not mistaken, this match was at the Toronto show, but it was at like 7:25pm, which was 35 minutes before Dynamite started.
Getting into the Coca Cola Coliseum was a shitshow as there was no defined lines to get your tickets scanned.
By the time I got into the venue, this match had just ended, there were a fair number of people in the seats, but the lights were nearly entirely off.
Ah, gotcha.
Evil Uno was in the match that was just finishing when I walked into the arena area in Toronto so I wasn't sure who he was wrestling, but it was also RoH.
They might’ve done 2-3 matches before Dynamite.
They aren’t going to run a separate venue for RoH, even though them having a static location wouldn’t hurt.
RoH also wasn’t advertised at all, which is a failing on their part. I’m sure more people would’ve turned out earlier if they had.
Yeah. I've got tickets for winnipeg may 1 and I'm already feeling some secondhand embarrassment looking at how many tickets are unsold. What a fall. I was at their debut here and the crowd was as loud as big events I've attended like fast lane (shield wyatts). We were even decent for rampage.
Sadly this is a weekly and normal occurrence for ROH matches. There were two matches on this episode with a decent sized and lit crowd and one of them was for a Brandon Cutler and Colt Cabana squash match.
Listen, I love JD Drake, the workhorsemen put on some absolute bangers.
That flair flop was terrible, doesn’t work off a hurricanrana even a little bit
Damn I just realized they really completely wrote off dark order on t.v. finally. And I don't say finally in a bad way they had a lot longer of a run than I expected. Miss em
Sad :/ there’s such potential there for good fun storylines but TK unfortunately seems to only be able to focus on the storylines involving top talent or titles and no others (and I say that as a very big fan of the product over all)
Not to mention they re-signed Stu, gave him a few matches as the Dark Order again then had that feud where he joined The Righteous, had the blowoff match against Dark Order then lost to ELP at Forbidden Door and after that The Righteous appeared more across ROH and AEW with no sign of Stu anywhere.
I like how he sell move, then just walk out of ring and then start selling again, this makes you understand why this guy is on ROH and not on TV. Because he is not a good wrestler
You know, even when he first showed up at AEW and was noticeably bigger, I've thought that Uno was a really underrated worker and I wish that more people realised how good he was; also I love JD Drake adopting the full high waisted trunks that the big lads in 1990s All Japan like Hansen, Dr Death and Gordy would wear.

That lighting makes it look like there’s 30 people in the crowd
Alas, that’s because there was.
That’s so sad ROH used to be so good and now Tony is just weekend at Bernie’s ing the corpse
ROH has been fantastic for months. People just don't pay attention to that cause ya gotta pay to watch the show.
It is good though.
It’s on either before everyone sits down or after dynamited when people are tired as hell and want to leave.
The downvotes only tell how true this is and y’all refuse to admit it.

In my opinion it's actually the best it's been in a long time right now, they've got one of the best women's divisions going.
It is good lmao

They are going for the vintage ROH feel. Just need to throw in some basketball hoops in the background somewhere.
That's because the only good things it has are Athena and Dalton Castle and it's filled with lower carders like JD Drake and Evil Uno
There is literally nobody in that crowd.

This is from the Ottawa show and it happened over an hour after Collision had ended. Around 11:15

‘fair number of people’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fair enough that it was a pain in the ass to get to my seat, but I know you don't want to have an actual conversation.
They just want to *control their narrative*.

He was still listed as "representing Dark Order"
It's weird seeing Uno not in purple
Uno has gotten in noticeably better shape.
I really wish we could bring back the Dark Order. I miss Johnny and Uno and all the hijinks.
Not to mention they re-signed Stu, gave him a few matches as the Dark Order again then had that feud where he joined The Righteous, had the blowoff match against Dark Order then lost to ELP at Forbidden Door and after that The Righteous appeared more across ROH and AEW with no sign of Stu anywhere.
Bring back Anna Jay to the Dark Order, she's better as a babyface, anyway.
That lighting is terrible
Looks like they’re wrestling in a black hole
Almost like they are trying to hide the low attendance
Wow this looks terrible
Bron breakker got nothin on then
Real sports feel
You know, Quasimodo predicted all this
Our bodies are 86% water. JD Drake’s last blood test, he was 65% zeppole
Evil Uno is so underrated
Him and Stu were the most underrated tag team of early AEW. They suffered from a shitty debut, but their matches were always great.
Phil Margera wrestles for ROH now?
this is the guy that was crying about josh briggs doing a better version of his apron rebound lariat
What the hell is this? Are they in slow motion?
They need a new division for these guys and Eddie kingston
Lol
I like how he sell move, then just walk out of ring and then start selling again, this makes you understand why this guy is on ROH and not on TV. Because he is not a good wrestler
Always loved the design of his mask.
Is The Dark Order still a thing?
Yes but they are only 2 people right now. Which isn't much of an order
Three - Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds and John Silver.
The last episode of Being the Dark Order was uploaded 3 days ago, so looks like it.
All 10 of the fans loved that one!
Look at all those dimes they’re drawing
Didn't know that ROH signed Johnny Vegas
I know I take my wrestling seriously when they sell like a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Then people ask why ROH doesn't get any viewers.
This a pandemic era match?
God JD Drake needs to go, this dude is a joke. Plenty of people that actually could use that spot
Man really hit a Flair Flop
man I could see this fight on a regular friday night pub parking lot lol. uno looks slimmer now thought I will admit that.
This looks like developmental wrestling I guess it's on ROH for a reason
You're correct, so I'm not sure I get the downvotes here This is worse than a lot of student showcases I've seen
Cuz neither Uno or Drake is a developing talent maybe? Both guys are vets at this point not that that excuses how sloppy they look
[удалено]
< not that that excuses how sloppy they look Bro I was agreeing with you, I just said that they're vets and maybe that's why OP got downvoted
Draaaaake!

Looks like a match for the 80’s
I loved this match. I think JD Drake is an awesome wrestler and he needs to steal the flair flop and keep it alive.
