I agree with Chavo in the sense that I disagree that Lynn is recogniseable. I would not say that Aries or Rave is more recogniseable. Well, maybe Rave is, because he was on TNA recently, and had about as big a role as Lynn in the WWE, and is fresher in people's heads.

But yeah, it's not like Lynn is a name. Nor is he a star. He was a lower-card guy in the WWE. That isn't someone you want to be carrying your company. And while there might not be anyone more recogniseable than Lynn, I don't think recogniseable is what ROH should be going after.

I mean, people that thought Lynn was cool are going to check out ROH to see him mingle in the main event scene there, anyway. Him being ROH World Champion isn't likely to draw more than 200 people to watching their YouTube shows. Someone like Bryan Danielson might be a complete unknown to someone, but he's got the pedigree that a top guy needs, and there's no previous exposure in the WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA or whatever to hold him to.
