Yeah just look at some wrestlers your interested in's Twitter
Ones I know I've seen:
Jordynne Grace
PROGRESS
Medusa Complex
Dave continually defending Cornette on his message board is just so sad... At least I'm getting joy out of seeing him getting smacked around by his board members for using whataboutism and comparing this incident Orton.

The TJPW calendar is really good and it's split into two parts: the actual month and the pictures of the wrestlers.
So you can have the Pom Harajuku/Haruna Neko/Mahiro Kiryu picture up all year.
Kelly Klein got fired (technically they're refusing to renew her contract which is up soon) by ROH because she vouched for Mercury's criticisms of the company.
Which she did, in part, because he was the one who recognized how serious her concussion was, and made sure she made it home safely, even though he's quit ROH shortly before then.
They claimed Klein was 'unethical' in how she handled this.
How possible is it that ROH is dead by a year from now? I'm really struggling to see how they can maintain a business with the emergence of AEW, another zombie rebirth of Impact, MLW, plus their terrible PR going on, hemorrhaging talent, pathetic attendance figures, and dying relationship with NJPW. I get they have huge financial backing but like, who is going to work for them and who is going to go to their shows?
Also, this random lucha libre calendar on eBay:
I legit don't understand how or why they still exist. running off fumes from the elite/new japan relationship but with both of those things over and their big signings from last year nearly free (marty, pco, bandido). can't imagine they're still alive in a year, honestly.
I know it's to fill in TV for sinclair but they could probably play random shit from the public domain and draw more viewers than roh tv
Just think about how much the landscape has changed in the last year.
-AEW now exists and is a strong #2 promotion in the US.
-Impact is stronger than they were a year ago.
-NJPW is barely working with ROH now, and plans to increase their US expansion next year.
At best, ROH is on the level of a MLW or NWA and with all the terrible PR and loss of talent, it wouldn't be a surprise to see them continue to fall off. At this point, I can't see how they can climb out of this hole with so much other stuff emerging and surpassing them, not to mention the freefall their image is taking.
How many viewers would an ROH YouTube show get? 50,000? This is where we're headed.
If ROH wasn't owned by an evil tv company they could go under any day. There's no reason for Sinclair to cancel nearly free programming.
American promotions with more regular buzz than ROH:
- WWE/NXT
- AEW
- New Japan USA
- Impact
- NWA Powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
- GCW off the power of Spring Break alone. More hype from any PPV where the fucking king Nick Gage does his thing. Gage is more over than anyone in ROH
- MLW
ROH is #8 at best. fucking miserable position.

It's not even January yet Matt, put that thing away!
The most hilarious part about ROH's downward spiral is that many of the big movers and shakers responsible for making AEW were employed by either them or NJPW just last year. The fact that no one at Sinclair realized they could have a real money-maker on their hands if they just threw a bit of extra cash around after All In is really baffling (though I guess all the shit surrounding the failed Tribune acquisition might have kept them from doing to much even if they wanted to).
You've finally crossed the line...
What's happening with TJPW tonight/tomorrow? I've still got half a show to catch up on.
Rika Tatsumi is gonna defeat Sakisama and bring back Hyper Misao through that.
Pom is pinning Miyu Yamashita.
Full card:
1 vs 2 Handicap Match
Miyu Yamshita vs Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku
Mizuki & Yuki Aino & Mirai Maiumi vs Yuna Manase & Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
Maki Itoh & Raku vs Hikari Noa & Mina Shirakawa
Misao vs Suzume
Sakisama vs Rika Tatsumi
Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima vs Miu Watanabe & Nodoka Tenma
It's incredible how quickly WWE guys' tweets go from Cringy to Good when they're finally free.
Can't believe you won't be there to see Pom finally go over Miyu in person.
Let's hope not. I don't see ANY company hiring him.
WWE
AEW
Impact
MLW
NJPW USA
NWA
GCW
ROH
I mean...who? Who will hire this guy?

All those companies besides aew like always remember this is the pro wrestling business. Like he wouldn't even be gone nwa if he issued a apology.
Zero chance he goes back there. He's been through those doors and hated it.
Jim Cornette threatened to murder Greg Gilleland, and made a massive shoot video where he buried Sinclair Broadcasting
Blaming another promotion's fans for your mistake is the worst excuse ever. And here I thought Cornette had the most integrity, and he ends up being the most carny (meta, but Cornette enjoys the carny style too much).
Dudes like Cornette and Meltzer don't want to accept that the 80's were a long fucking time ago and times change. They need to accept that's like someone from their day saying blackface was cool in the 40's so whats the problem?
