Tony Khan's big announcement tonight:

He just bought Ring of Honor...

I figured that they would at least buy the tape library.
If that rumored HBO Max deal is true, owning the library was REALLY going to be a huge lift since damn near every one on the roster, especially the top level guys like Punk, Bryan, Hangman, and Adam Cole all got their starts and made their names in Ring of Honor.
But the entire company?!? God Damn!!!

I'm not familiar with Ring of Honor but it sounds like it was AEW before AEW. I am very excited to see what/how this goes down. 

Before there was AEW and Triple H's NXT, there was Ring of Honor. 

Damn near every single one of the big names or best wrestlers in the industry today and in the last 15-20 years got their start and/or made their names and reputations there.

CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole, Hangman Adam Page, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Cesaro, Christopher Daniels, AJ Styles, The Young Bucks, The Briscoes, Tommaso Ciampa, the list goes on.

You can't talk about today's modern landscape of pro wrestling without talking about Ring of Honor. That's how influential it has been. 

So for Tony Khan to snatch them up, even just for the tape library (especially since they're the ones who own the footage of All In) is a huge deal. What remains to be seen is what his plans are for Ring of Honor itself, because they've been knocking on death's door for a while now.
