Then, after they spend most of the year treating it as an implied uniified roster, we're supposed to care about the split again for about two months come Survivor Series?
Wish I could see what happens, but the Sinclair station in my area STOPPED showing RoH well in advance of even the announcement of shuttering. The last thing I remember seeing was a video with the lead up to the Briscoes "Fight on the Farm". Had to watch the match itself online. Or anything else they did. And it wasn't like the station was/is showing anything else in that already shit 3am Sunday night/Monday morning timeslot surrounded with random reruns and infomercials. Hell, it wasn't even a re-airing of Ring of Honor TV from a better time like a lot of the stations that were on their list... it was the ONLY time they showed that week's* episode.
The reason why I mention that is to wonder if any other staions did the same thing? If so, how many? How many does that leave with an actual timeslot to air Tony's new toy?
And given that nobody can contain themselves, I'm willing to bet the inaugural show (wherever and whatever it may be) will blow the load of Briscoes vs FTR, completely relying on social media for a feud that folks may not even realize is happening instead of building it on the air somewhere.

guess we will have to see what tony got from sinclair, if he got a year tv deal it would be good. tony may have to take the show to hbo max which may or may not be good.
