Jimmy Jacobs is a part of that expansion, WWKD. There is no shame in it.
This is only good news for ROH. They are now owned by a company with a shit load of money, which obviously means that this Sinclair Broadcasting Group see a way to make money off ROH. They have more money and business sense than Gertner, so fuck what he says.
It won't happen overnight, but ROH has been expanding on its own. They are closer to TNA in terms of PPV buys than TNA are to the WWE. ROH also tour more, which means more potential for merchandise sales and awareness. If the product remains essentially the same, this should only be supported by wrestling fans who want an "alternative," or something to at least light a fire under the ask of other companies claiming to be alternatives.
I'm interested to see who these names with "WWE value" end up being. Low Ki is the first that comes to mind. It's a shame that TNA reportedly has Kurt Angle signed onto a three-year deal. It would have been amazing if Angle, with all his pride, wanted to leave TNA but didn't want to go back to the WWE. The same with Samoa Joe.
Time will tell how great/insignificant this purchase of ROH really is.
